    I used to make all kinds of pizzas, different doughs, toppings, order pizzas from several places… then stopped. A couple months later, they called me from one of them:

    They: “You’re one of our best customers, but we’ve noticed you stopped ordering, has something happened?”.
    Me: “I got a heart attack”.

    They didn’t call again.

    how much is too much?

    As much as it takes to get a heart attack? 🤷

    If by any chance you have tmobile, they have a coupon for free crazy bread with purchase of pizza every week, and occasionally $3 pizza’s coupons.

    And if you’re a family all on tmobile… Whooohooooo!

    I once ate half a pizza every work day for lunch for over a year. That was probably not great for me. But that job was stressful as hell and little ceasers was across the street.

      this is my life… its so damn close, cheap, and believe it or not its not a bad pizza. caesars is one of the few chains that still make dough fresh in house (i wont say daily, but its not like they have storage).

      with their new little automated door thingy, its so fast to get in and out. i want to shit on them, but i cannot.

    There’s no such thing as too much pizza but if you’re doing takeaway every day then it’s expensive and probably has a lot of bad stuff. Why not learn to cook your own? That way it’s cheaper and you can make it how you want.

    Over Covid I missed neopolitan pizza and nowhere near me delivered so I learned to make my own, I’ve now got quite good at making a 500-600 calorie pizza whenever I fancy from either homemade or pre bought frozen dough.

    I get good pizza once a month, really good pizza occasionally, and utter crap pizza maybe twice a month. Each has its own appeal. (Oh, and I LOOOOOVE a good calzone / spinach pie. That’s… related.)

    First month of university, there was pizza in the dining hall. Had it every day for dinner for a month, sometimes twice in a day it was so delicious. At (October) Thanksgiving I was the heaviest I’ve ever been gaining 20 pounds, with visible flabbiness in my waist that wasn’t there before.

    Consciously told myself to stop that entirely, and start eating vegetables. Was back to my previous weight by that Christmas.

      this was actually one of the defining reasons that I chose to transfer colleges. At my old one I didn’t have a car and nothing healthy was in walking distance (I’m talking within an hour’s walk), yes it was that small of a town. All I could eat was the dining hall food which was literally just pizza, tacos, cheeseburgers, pasta, and Panda Express. So I did that for 9 months and gained an unimaginable amount of weight.

      I remember one weekend I went home to visit my parents and it was a godsend to be able to eat a burrito.

        That definitely sucks. I was lucky that there were salad bars at my dining hall and a burrito place nearby.

    And here I can’t eat pizza because all pizzas that are available here have cheese and cheese gives me a migraine 😔. This wasn’t a problem before 2020 when I started getting chronic migrains. I used to love pizza.

      Pizza is easy to make, so if none of them will do a cheeseless one for you, you can still have pizza.

    I miss, mourn, and rue the fact that I no longer live in my old neighborhood, which had at least 3 pizza shops within a few blocks. Pizza is delicious. Absolutely do not believe there is such a thing as too much of any food unless you can’t afford it, don’t enjoy it, or your doctor thinks it’s affecting you negatively. Enjoy your pizzas.

    I feel bad after eating pizza, except the one in Italy or Sicily. That one is amazing. Has different bread and better quality cheese and ingredients.

    I think they use low quality bread and ingredients in pizza to make it cheap in most places.

    I could probably live on the stuff, but am too lazy so mostly just have toast.
