That’s not bad! I reckon that’s 95% more than most people would use it.
We use it for bread too.
Nice. Where’s my invite?

The downside of an invitation is two fold
- It’s Canberra
- The pizza maker is a filth supporter

Exactly. It’s nostalgia, it’s the pizza we grew up with, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
A friend I know is a food critic for the Age. Last year she got sent to do a review on Pizza Hut in Ballarat - apparently they still have an old school Pizza Hut up there where you can dine in and get ‘the works’ - so unlimited terrible pizza, soft serve machine, chocolate mousse etc. She told me when word got around the office she got more people asking to go with her than when she reviewed Attica.

Old school, smorgasboard Pizza Hut in Ringwood. We used to go there all the time.
In a pathetic display of oneupmanship, me and a mate both did 23 slices there one night. We were zipped up tight for days afterwards. Very uncomfortable…

For some reason I can’t stand pineapple on pizza when it’s hot, but as leftovers I don’t mind it.
If that’s not a reflection of society as a whole, I don’t know what is…
Similarly, the local shops where I used to live had a Bubba’s ($5 larges, cardboard bases, crap ham, oily/salty cheese) and a privately run place (considerably dearer, quality ingredients, good service).
One would have the queue out the door on a Fri/Sat night and one sadly went bust. Which way do you reckon it fell?
Yeah imagine wanting pizza to be cheap, quick and easy?

And shithouse?
Sorry, I’m being too snarky.
I can see the appeal of cheap, easy, basic crappy food. Sometimes I eat it.
liking it doesn’t mean people are bad, it just means they like different stuff.
23 slices??!! So nearly three large pizzas each? That’s unbelievable/impressive/horrifying. How did you not die?
Good question… the metabolism of youth maybe?? These days I’m lucky to manage half-a-pizza in one sitting.
I recall that evening and the following day felt very much like I had died though…

I did 30 a couple of times, and I wasn’t the biggest eater in my group.
Those teenage munchies were quite something.
Yeah I get that. I’m all for cheap, easy food as long as it’s edible.
In my example it was just a shame that the inferior product survived at the expense (and extinction) of the better product.
That I don’t like. It happens way too often in life…
I just don’t see them as the same products.
There is Italian (proper) pizza, and there is the Aussie-style pizza that we all grew up with. They are completely different products with basically no correlation to each other I reckon. I’ve got a different local that I go to for each
Yep.
It’s like watching your mates play park cricket or suburban footy and complaining it’s not Test/AFL level.
The $8 for a large takeaway joint is not competing for the same market as the swanky sit-down restaurant with $20-30 pizzas.

Maybe you’re right. No one really regards McDonald’s as a burger restaurant, do they?
