Beats us, but she enjoys it, and it gets her food AND water.
"Hawaiian Pizza" is "artisan cheesy flatbread" to me from now on!
There's a place near me that does something very similar. It's delicious, but then you wake up the next day all stoked you've got left over pizza and you're all "oh yeah... this." [sad trombone]
So, yes, pizza, but you better order a cheese or peperoni or something more pizza-ey along with it or you're going to be left with that "just had [pizza] but still craving [pizza]" feeling that also happens with artisan doughnuts and really really fancy hamburgers.
As to your pizza, Meagan, I'm glad you liked it, but for some reason, it just doesn't look that good to me. I'm also not a fan of Balsimic, so there's that.
In other words: Yes, it's a pizza, clearly.No, I wouldn't eat it.
My argument stands. Sure, your pineapple may be "good" on flatbread with cheese and some kind of sauce, but the instant one of those yellow devils hits the cheese etc., it no longer qualifies as pizza.
Yes, blue cheese sounds nice, and I used to get a pizza with cashews from that place by Gas Works Park I really liked. But I also had a chicken pizza a few weeks ago that tasted like a casserole on bread - BAD pizza, GOOD casserole.
I just don't want strawberries on my "pizza".
@6,
I've never tried to feed my cat pineapple, but she goes nuts when I bring a whole pineapple home. She loves chewing on the spiky top.
Let's face it: the only thing you really need for something to qualify as "pizza" these days is a grain-based crust with a little cheese on top; everything else is optional.
I really just felt like defending this because I'm hungry. I'd probably see that sitting there and pick all the berries off like an asshole.
While we're here—cornmeal crust...just... NO. Stop it.
Merriam-Webster
Unless "French fries" are so called because they contain French people, you're wrong.
Also, I regularly refer to Kalamata olives as just "kalamatas" because that's common parlance. Everyone knows what I'm talking about, because they're not stupid.
2.) Even if it were not burnt, I would still fall into the not-pizza camp. Pizza without pizza sauce is not pizza. It is vaguely pizza-like flat bread with miscellaneous toppings. It might even be delicious (if not burnt), but it is still not pizza.
If that's the definition, then you still shouldn't refer to balsamic vinegar simply as "balsamic." It doesn't contain balsam, for one, and it's silly to refer to vinegar as being "made with vinegar."
But whatever, call it whatever you want. This is a useless argument.
I am also conscious of the fact that I miss Berkeley's Cheeseboard Pizza. Curried potato slices and roasted garlic pizza FTW.
My first thoughts on coming across this post, in order:
1. That's an awesome-looking pizza.
2. Strawberries on a pizza? I dunno.
3. That must be a Nashville pizza.
4. It's so wonderful that Megan Seling is still writing for Slog, even if she's now in Nashville.
Megan, no one will notice if the occasional Stanley Cup playoffs post comes from Nashville. It's not like a Seattle dateline makes a difference for NHL hockey. BTW, I have so little hope for the Penguins.
You've little hope for arguably the most talented team in the league going into a home game that'd put them into the eastern conference finals? They'll be fine, bring on Boston for a rematch.
I love strawberries, but not cooked or on a pizza.
Not really. I just wanted to use the word pissaladière.
@35: Can't be, she got it in Nashville.
