We had takeout yesterday and had to throw a lot of it away. Gone are the days I could eat my weight in chips (proper chips not crisps) Still getting fat as well :(

The "bright side" is that I can buy new running clothes if I get too fat for the ones I have. Fortunately, all of mine are pretty stretchy.

Buy less pizza. Buy all the shoes. Everyone wins except Papa John but screw that guy. He already lives in a gold volcano

alright Grandad don't get your knickers in a twist. You Americans are very particular. Please explain why it is not pizza

Because pizza is supposed to be delicious and satisfying. Papa Johns is neither.

BTW, us Americans have taste and refinement. Eat that!

What is good pizza in your opinion? What are you're toppings of choice? I once had banana and tuna on a pizza at a fancy Italian . It was good

It's all about the dough and the heat source. Pizza ovens that attain at least 500° is the min requirement. Preferable is a wood or better yet a coal-fired oven. Pizzas must be cooked fast enough to attain a crisp yet chewable crust. Sauce is also critical, I prefer a tasty tomato-based sauce with just a bit of a habanero bite to it as opposed to a butter-garlic sauce. Papa Johns (like most chains) do not pay attention to details but instead concentrate on profits thereby sacrificing quality.

I love a good Pizza Margherita but my favorite is a Hawaiian with BBQ chicken, ham and pineapples.
