The only thing I have issue with is putting the greasy pizza box on the carpet.

No reason to destroy your carpet just because you want to be minimalist.

At least put a blanket down. Then you can just pop it in the wash.

No reason to destroy your carpet

I would argue there is no sane reason to have wall to wall carpeting in the first place in most situations especially if you have pets.

I can’t disagree with you there.

Perhaps this gentleman decided he didn’t want carpets anymore and doesn’t care what happens to them until the day comes to rip them out.

However my guess is he never even thought that far ahead.

Likely a rented apartment where you have no choice.

All the more reason to not fuck the rugs up. Unless you want to donate your security deposit.

does grease soak through the bottom of pizza boxes?

Oohhhhh ya. That’s why you can’t recycle pizza boxes. They soak up grease.

Take a look at the bottom of a pizza box next time you order pizza.

I never order pizza. I’m a healthy person with six-pack abs but dangit my doctor told me yesterday a recent breast biopsy came back malignant so I have to get surgery next week 😭, So we can all try our damndest to be healthy, but cancer doesn’t discriminate.

This is going to sound obvious but that depends on how greasy the pizza is. It can happen.

Not if you get good pizza

That is a hot and ready for sure

That makes no sense at all.

Good pizza is just as greasy as bad pizza.

By nature a pizza is greasy due to all of the melted cheese.

That’s like saying a good burger isn’t greasy. Of course it’s going to be greasy.

I’ve had good cheesy pizzas that have less grease. If you pick up the pizza and the bottom of the box is damp it’s too greasy.

What do you consider “good” pizza?

I’ve made a lot of pizza in my day and it’s damn near impossible to avoid grease.

It comes from the pepperoni and cheese and anything else fatty that you top it with.

Are you saying good pizza is made with ingredients that don’t have fatty grease? You’d have to use low fat cheese, etc. To me that isn’t “good” pizza.

As for pizzas I get from restaurants I’ve never had one that didn’t have at least some grease in the pizza box. This is coming from someone that lives in the NY area where pretty much all pizza there is gourmet authentic pizza and not franchise pizza like dominos.

I think our definitions of good pizza are way different.

Good pizza should have some grease to it, otherwise the ingredients are questionable.

Literally had pizzas with these ingredients that weren’t too oily and greasy. It’s possible and tastes so much better.

Both statements are entirely valid, as neither pizza nor burgers require meat or cheese.

Good point but if you work in a pizza restaurant you’ll realize almost NO ONE orders pizza without cheese. There is the very rare order it happens but it’s extremely rare.

So technically you are right but in practicality you are way off.

However with a burger it’s the meat that is greasy. Not so much the cheese. So unless you’re having a non-beef burger (not really a burger) it’s going to be greasy no matter what you put on it.

True, restaurant/delivery pizza - even vegan options - are almost universally super oily.

Non-meat burgers are most definitely burgers, and do have the benefits of not only having more variety, but are easily made to be actually healthy if desired.

Says someone who’s never doused their pizza in oil.

The pizza in general looks nasty. Too small in diameter, too much dough for the toppings, too much grease. I’ve had frozen pizza that looked better than this abomination.

I mean to be fair, it looks like Little Caesars. The point of it is it’s cheap.

Also they left the lid open so the pizza is getting cold quick.

Agreed. This is your run of the mill franchise pizza. It’s all garbage imo compared to real authentic pizza.

Sadly most people have never experienced authentic pizza because out west it’s all franchise pizza. You gotta come to the east coast for the good stuff.

You really don’t. You can get all kinds of regional cuisines outside the regions they originated and became popular, pizza styles being perhaps the most ubiquitous.

Just completely ignoring the unique beauty that is Midwest/Chicago/tavern style thin crust pizza. Or Detroit style pizza. Or any of the other various and delicious regional styles in the dozens of states between the coasts. Nope, the only pizza that exists is west coast franchises, and the ‘’‘real’‘’ stuff on the east coast.

Open yourself up to new experiences man, the world of pizza is wide and wild, and a ton of fun if you let loose of your elitist “the only ‘’‘real’‘’ pizza is east coast pizza” schtick.

When I go to Detroit or Chicago I’ll be enthusiastic to try it. Never said I was against it. As long as it’s a legit restaurant and not dominos or some franchise shit.

But I am happy to shit on franchise pizza because it sucks in comparison to what you listed, or the east coast. Which is the entire point.

Feel free to disagree. I don’t care because my taste buds know the difference.
