Is PIZZA a Liberal or Conservative food?

Pizza itself doesn't have an opinion so it can't be either, but the styles can be labeled somewhat.

Pizza's original styles are traditional, but variations are more liberal (such as California Pizza Kitchen).

 

[::Major_Baker::]

a pizza with artichoke hearts, spinach and goat cheese and organic whole wheat crust is a liberal pizza.

A traditional standard pepperoni, uninteresting, but wholly tasty pizza, is conservative.

It depends on whose Pizza you're talking about.

That Domino's Pizza guy, Tom Monaghan, who is building a strict Catholic city in Florida is in bed with Santorum and Brownback.

OMG...you’re a f#cking genius! :smile:

Sex is like pizza: there's no such thing as bad pizza, it's just that some pizza is better than others. So, I would say that a pizza that gets around and gives everyone a piece is a liberal pizza, while a pizza which is given only to a special person is a conservative pizza.

Er, no.
A conservative pizza is a Meatlovers, Supreme or Hotwing pizza (extra Hotwing).

I think it's funny that wanting a pizza less greasy than a 15 year old's face is liberal! :rofl Why are vegetarians assumed to be liberal?

It's meant to be somewhat sarcastic.

Do you really have to ask that question? Of course not all vegeterians are liberal. Many of them are, sure. I would guess that all of the members of PETA are. Didn't the movement start in California?

As someone who has made thousands of pizzas, I would say that most people want you to be liberal with the toppings versus being conservative. :lol:

 

[disneydude]

Its actually a much smarter poll than many of the so-called polls that are placed here all the time by many posters (you know who you are). At least this one isn't a political spin that claims to be an objective poll.

Pizza is not "liberal" and it is not "conservative", it is AMERICAN!

Err, wait, no, it's Italian, or is that European?

What about taco pizzas? Hawaiian?:lol:

 

[Gibberish]

What about taco pizzas? Hawaiian?:lol:

I have never seen a hawaiian taco. Did you mean mexican?

 

[Thorgasm]

I have never seen a hawaiian taco. Did you mean mexican?

I meant that as two seperate pizzas. Yes, a taco pizza may also be called mexican pizza. A Hawaiian pizza has ham and pineapple. There may be different variations of that.

dude, seriosuly.
A meatlover's pizza is wholly liberal. *Meat-lovers....*
sexual inuendo intended

 

[Deegan]

I like to think of the liberal pizza as the thin and crispy, and the conservative as the deep dish supreme.

thin and crispy: Light, smart and sensible
Deep dish supreme: messy, excessive, gives you heartburn, too much PORK

When does a pizza become a "pizza"?

What is a pizza?

Dictionary.com:

piz·za
n.
A baked pie of Italian origin consisting of a shallow breadlike crust covered with seasoned tomato sauce, cheese, and often other toppings, such as sausage or olives.
----------------------------
[Italian, pie, tart, pizza.]​

And:

pizza

n : Italian open pie made of thin bread dough spread with a spiced mixture of e.g. tomato sauce and cheese [syn: pizza pie]​

Wikipedia.org:

In its original form, a pizza is an oven-baked, flat, usually circular bread covered with tomato sauce and cheese with optional toppings. The cheese is usually mozzarella (the traditional Italian pizza uses buffalo mozzarella or, accordingly to Naples' tradition, fior di latte cheese) or sometimes a mixture of several cheeses such as parmesan, romano, ricotta and feta. Various other toppings may be added, most typically:

• herbs and seasonings such as basil, oregano, and garlic
• vegetables such as bell peppers, asparagus, eggplant, broccoli, spinach, olives, onions, and artichokes
• meat or fish products such as sausage, (especially pepperoni or salami), ham, bacon, ground beef, anchovies, chicken, and shrimp
• Other common toppings include mushrooms and pineapple.

The crust is traditionally plain, but may also be seasoned with butter, garlic, or herbs, or stuffed with cheese. In some pizza recipes (termed "white pizza") the tomato sauce is omitted, or replaced with another sauce (usually garlic butter but can be sauces made with spinach or onions). Pizza is normally eaten hot (typically at lunch or dinner), but leftovers are often eaten cold.

The most widely accepted origin for the word pizza is from the Italian word pizzicare[citation needed], meaning to "pluck" or "pinch", referring to the motion of plucking the pie from the oven, and is hence related to the musical term pizzicato. Another theory holds that it is an Italian corruption of the Greek word pita.[citation needed]

A restaurant that serves pizza is called a pizzeria (from Italian); in the US, the phrase "pizza parlor" is also used. Pizza can also be purchased in grocery stores or supermarkets (usually, but not always, frozen); in many countries, pizza can also be ordered by phone (or, increasingly, via the Web) to be delivered, hot and ready to eat, to almost any address within range of the restaurant.

Pizza, a local food item originated from a small region of Italy, has become popular in the whole world, even more than its arch-rival, the hamburger, and is now a symbol of cultural globalization.​

Also, I did a google search for "When does a pizza become a pizza", and came up with this funny and odd link: pizzatherapy.com

However, Jerry, I have no idea when pizza becomes pizza.....but this may help.

Let us philosophically ponder this life-changing question.

Perhaps pizza becomes pizza when the person who is going to eat it calls it such?

As in: (persons who are waiting for a delivery of the pizza [in it's embryonic state that is] say "pizza's here!" upon delivery.)

Perhaps a pizza can not be legally called a "pizza" in the first trimester, when it is little more than raw ingredients piled together. However, the pizza becomes more and more like what everyone commonly thinks of as a "pizza" during the second trimester, when that pile of ingredients has been placed in the oven and is now cooking together. Certainly ,IMO, a pizza is a "pizza" in there third trimester, when it is finished cooking but is not yet ready for delivery.

Surly there are situations in which one needs to cancel an order, but does this mean that Dominos should be permitted to continually cancel orders on a whim? Does the customer get no say in whether they will actually receive the pizza that they ordered?

I have heard it said "it's my restaurant, it's my choice", and while I respect the right of a business to conduct itself as it sees fit, I am concerned over the casual disregard for the customer. Sure, the customer does not make the pizza, but perhaps the customer was planning a nice evening with pizza for dinner, or similar.

If restaurants continue to allow people behind the counter to make pizzas without fear of consequence for having to pay for the pizza they help make, IMO that lessens the sanctity of the establishment, because any animal can go get food in the wild, but only humans can take what mere animals can do and elevate that to a dining experience.

I guess it all depends on what kind or restaurant you wish to run: a playground or serious pizzeria.

When we have widespread abuse of canceling orders on a whim, people tend to devalue restaurants, knowing that they are either not stable enough to plan an evening with or that they operate as a playground.
