Nice ‘za bruh

>>53919279
is that the perfect cup?

>>53919279
They used to be so comfy. Maybe a little ms Pac-Man before the food is ready?

Just go to Shakey's. Same atmosphere and the pizza is infinitely better.

>>53919400
>Sit in poisonous vinyl/plastic booth that isn't even comfortable
>Stuff your face with goyslop and wash it down with goyslurp
Yeah. Real "comfy." Spicboomer scum>>53919422
.

>>53919422
I remember Shakeys had this gothic fantasy vibe, but now it looks like a soulless Applebees

They got cheaper and cheaper radically changing the recipe in a time in the late 90's when tomatoes lost their flavor because they engineered them to resist round up pesticide.

the fuck is a shakey's?

>>53919279

>>53919461
Typical California thinking their restaurants are everywhere.

>>53919461
Right? FIrst I've ever heard that name

bros....

>>53919465
no shit, I googled it and it's some shitty chain that's only on the left coast

lmao

>>53919400
She was a man

I would always drive past Shakey’s in Renton wa but I thought it was local. I would joke that the name makes it sound like a place run by tweakers.

My pizza today

>>53919460
>in the late 90's when tomatoes lost their flavor because they engineered them to resist round up pesticide.
So THAT'S why pizza hasn't tasted as good as it used too all this time. All this time thinking I had imagined it and it was motherfucking lazy cunts and their easy chemical weed killers fucking up the god tier old pizza.

I will repair it someday. You have my word. Even if I must rend reality asunder through sheer willpower to do it. We WILL have 90's pizza again someday.

>>53919572
>We WILL have 90's pizza again someday.
No we won't, it's all gone just like all the other junk food.

>>53919495
Based, the crust looks so much better.

>>53919279
Look at that crust, it's fucking bun, like from a cinnamon roll or something. Tastes like nothing but white flour.

>>53919592
>>53919572
But yeah i miss 90's junk food pizza. I can still taste the new york style flavour in my mouth and it kills me knowing that i will never taste it again.

>>53919572
Judt grow your own tomatoes and make pizza

>>53919279
They were the more expensive higher quality pizza option. This was back when family's would go out once a month to eat out. They also used to innovate a lot with their toppings and flavors. They sat on top of the market and eventually got lazy. Eventually they lost that edge since people eventually didnt want an "experience" going out to eat, they just wanted cheap pepperoni pizza delivered to their doorstep.
I never really liked it all that much since the crust was made with even more salt and oil than the toppings so they whole thing just tasted like overkill.
>>53919465
Ive lived in 3 parts of California spaced hundreds of miles apart and Ive only heard of Shakeys Pizza from South Park because Cartman threw some stem cells on one.

Might have had Pizza Hut once in my life. Anyone who eats pizza hut is riffraff and you all might as well taken the vaccine

>>53919279
I got pizza hut yesterday its awful, taste no better than cheap paki kebab shop pizza

>>53919279
Can you still get proper Italian style pizzas in the US ? I wouldn't call op's food a pizza.

>>53919455
Sorry for being a child

>>53919279
That picture is two years old you fucking retards.

>>53919279

>$10+/pizza
>35 minute + wait time
utterly btfo by $5 hot & ready pizza

I was actually a pizza hut manager in the golden years up until it went to hell. What went wrong is the bread was specially made in the store, the sauce was tomato canned. The cheese was delivered fresh. When I left, all the ingredients were delivered frozen, including pre made dough. Pizza hut sucks because it's basically 3d printed.

>>53919931
I knew there was a reason why I clicked on this thread.
>>53919279
They pivoted way too late from the sit-down dining model with an arcade and salad bar (they used to be the largest purchaser of Kale on the planet for those salad bars before it became the hot new leafy green to put in fucking everything even when it's a terrible choice) to a predominantly delivery focused establishment, losing them a shitload of money and marketshare in the process, meaning they had to start skimping on ingredients and getting really cheap across the board. There's not many sit-down proper pizza huts left in the US anymore although they're starting to make a comeback because nostalgia makes people pay more for the same thing, but they all still use frozen pre-made dough (whereas even lil caesars makes their dough fresh, and I know all of this from working for both establishments for years when I was younger) and typically hire either people like me that are too stupid to know better or literal felons both pre and post incarceration. I wouldn't recommend eating pizza hut to anyone, the one I worked at didn't replace the batteries in the bathroom soap dispenser until half a year after I'd been there even though I spoke to the manager about it several times in my tenure. Also the only job I've worked where I got held at gunpoint in the process of doing said job. Just fucking make your own pizza at home, it's easy as shit to make and for the cost of a large pie with more than one topping on it from the hut you can make gourmet level pizza in your own kitchen. You don't even need a fancy oven, just get a pizza stone and leave that bitch in there while it preheats and you're good to go.
>>53919769
You can but you will pay out the ass for it, a large single topping from dominos or the hut is like 8-12$ depending on the market. A gourmet pizza from a reputable local establishment is going to run you 30-50$ depending on the market and how pretentious they are.

>>53920002
>30-50$
16” plain cheese pizza is still $16 bucks by me. It’s only if you order 7 toppings that it gets pricey. Still I remember when it was like 50¢ - $1 per slice with pies for $6-7 back in the early 2000’s

>>53920002
>typically hire either people like me that are too stupid to know better or literal felons both pre and post incarceration.

this is most restaurant kitchen jobs anon.

>Just fucking make your own pizza at home, it's easy as shit to make and for the cost of a large pie with more than one topping on it from the hut you can make gourmet level pizza in your own kitchen.

Most of the population is too stupid to do that let alone make a frozen pizza. I think you're overestimating the capacity of the general populous

>>53919422
I'm 'Murican, and the only Shakey's I have ever seen/eaten at was in Japan.

>>53920002
>TFW I'm only paying 12€ for a proper pizza, cooked by firewood, out of a food truck.
Pizzas aren't supposed to be expensive, maybe making american pizzas great again could be a good business opportunity. Market it to urbanites by saying you only use organic food or something.

>>53920102
I seen't shit at both pizza hut and lil caesars that put me off of eating fastfood for a long time. I don't do it much anymore. There's a difference between hiring people with a shady past versus hiring shady people, same way there's a difference between burning a joint behind the dumpsters when you take the trash out versus rolling bowls of meth in the bathroom so you're still ready to fuck when you get off a 12 hour shift. I do agree on the being too lazy to make their own pizza part, there's frozen pizzas that compete with the quality of fastfood ones and all anyone has to do is preheat an oven and get a pizza stone if they want to be fancy.
>>53920035
Depends where you live. If you're in a major city, a proper pizza is going to be more than that just as a function of higher rent prices and not using dogshit ingredients. Unless they're making their own dough, slicing their own vegetables, prepping their own meats, and cooking it in a brick oven with the sauce they made from scratch it's not a gourmet pizza either.

>>53919460
Hmmm maybe for open field tomatoes (the cheap kind all across the third world)
But glasshouse grown tomatoes (the best kind) don't have any pesticides
Oh wait, that's a european thing. American """food""" probably does
Sorry

>>53919279
Amerilards just suck at food in general.

>>53920442
such weak bait, America legit has both the best and worst food. You probably think of mcdonalds and budweiser when you think of american food instead of texas bbq and sam addams

My local pizza place doesn't even do delivery. It's only dine in or carry out and they're always busy. No arcade games but they have shuffleboard, air hockey, and foosball. They're all f2p. Lots of TVs and drink specials too. It costs a little more than chain pizza but they more than make up for it with better quality.

>>53919279
Decline of families. This place was packed until aingle mothers were nornalized.

Yes, I am sentimental about goyslop, how could you tell?

>>53919769
yes but like >>53920002 said they cost much more and are marketed like premium type food, not fast food. You can easily get real pizza like >>53919495 it just costs more.

>>53919279
>>53919989
>>53921097
all this shits looks awful its not even real crust just oiled bread

>>53920809
>just give me the most expensive item on the menu that's no small cause for all long gone deals and price hikes
you can fit a whole pineapple in the topping jars they use. ah, but the anchovy order watches on with amusement as the befallen warriors of pizza toppings clash and battle for the remaining spotlight. sausage and mushroom, and pepperoni and jalapeno councils reign over the civil dwellings and laments of lesser toppings. and while we keep our most noble members of parliament to the vegetables, the pepperoni and sausage is not more than a vassal of true meat\'s power, for chicken and anchovy allow pizza to be beneath them.
the lands of red sauce over time became muddied by spicy and sweet parallels. the white sauces could never come to an agreement but no one could really tell them apart from the beginning because no man can withstand the overpowering savor of such rich, calorie-dense bourgeoisie. and along the coast, where the sun meats the red sea lies buffalo sauce, with barbecue sauce keeping vigil. they too know the importance of such balance between ingenuity and simplicity, never once sacrificing taste for proving one another less.
the cheese should always be met with respect, for it is the cheeses that keep the sauce and her toppings in perfect balance. the cheese is the natural force of this pizza world we inhabit. it is the wind in the sails of pepper flake fleets. without the cheese the pizza does not exist. like the crust of this pizza world that hosts such glorious battles of taste. and without the crust the cheese would remain, and this would be a cheesestick world.
your dipping sauces are the law and order of the topping and sauce world. diligent and patient, the dipping sauces may annex the sauce, and apprehend unruly toppings that test its will. pick the wrong sauce, and your perfect pizza just may get a patdown by some ranch or garlic butter that's had a bad day and wants to beat a little sausage just to let off some steam.

>>53919461
It's that thing you do to silence a newborn.

>>53919279

I've seen non Americans post their meals many times and I gotta say, I'm not impressed. Especially the British

>>53919769
Yes but you need to live in NJ, or NY… maybeee CT or MA but not as much. One of the only benifts of NJ, I’ve never even had Pizza Hut or dominos nor relate to any one in this thread saying pizza sucks now, even the worst pizza parlor here is very good. It’s Friday & lent so I’ll be having some tonight, I’ll post a pic if I remember. Tons of options also, traditional Italian brick oven, thin crust bar pies, your regualr “football” pie, most shops are owned by zips so they know what their doing.

>>53921484
>doesn't even mention Chicago

>I should've got a job at Shakey's!

They've gone way downhill over the years. Back in the land of the very very long ago (millennial here) Pizza Hut made delicious pan crust pizza. Now of days, their pizza tastes like complete flavorless cardboard shit - hell even Target and Walmart brand frozen pizza tastes better now.

>>53921484
Opening a restaurant chain making traditional pizzas sounds like a good plan then.

>>53922160
Extremely overpriced, too, I might add.

>>53922274
asians have been eating onions for thousands of year and they're fine. so what if theyre short

The White food has been turned into goyslop

I stumbled onto a dine-in Pizza Hut on a road trip last summer and the food was excellent.
However, the bathrooms were the most disgusting restaurant bathroom I've ever seen and there was no soap in the dispensers. Thankfully I didn't get sick from eating there.

>>53919279
Small pizza restaurants are better than anything a chain can make.

>>53919769
Yes everywhere. I'm in Chicago, and every nigga from Naples gets a brick oven and sets up shop. Its so, so good.

not even Italians argue so much about pizza

When you guys dine out do you ever think about the other patrons who came before you, took a big sloppy shit in the restroom, wiped their ass and walked out without washing their hands, then handled the same menu you've got in your hands?

>>53920196
Considering that actual whole food isn’t even that expensive if you order it in bulk from a local food service warehouse, it’s kind of unforgivable when you use cheap goyparts to make your slop and serve it to people. There are food trucks out there that do this (order real food), sell it for roughly the same price as a Pizza Hut or Domino’s and make a killing. It’s when they decide they want a brick and mortar store front when it goes downhill. Either it’s the same price for processed bullshit, or they practically double the price to pay the lease/make more profit

>and then there’s le tip

>>53919572
I remember ordering my large pan pizza with pepperoni, mushrooms and extra cheese back in '95. God, what a treat...

>>53919769
You can get it, along with American styles that have surpassed Italian pizza. I'd rather visit NYC than Italy for pizza.

>>53919279
Dominos and delivery.

With Pizza Hut? I don't know. It's fine to me. They do a carryout special here that's half price. Like $20 for two large pizzas. Pizzas in Japan are stupid expensive because Japanese people are cucks. Pizza Hut at least is cheap.

americans have not taste or class

Anything Yum! brands touches turns to shit. Prove me wrong, you can't.

>>53919279
They changed all the sauces, and destroyed the pizza in the process. They also got taken over by jews.

Used to be so fucking comfy but they cut so many corners trying to compete with upstarts. Became a doom loop - cut costs = shit = lower profits = more costs cut and so on.

>burned crust = cancer

this is truly one of my favorite conspiracies. just the fact people have been burning their food for 8000 years, and cancer rates are currently higher than ever.
Yeah its the burnt crust bro. totally the burnt crust is the nail in the coffin
