What? That might be the worst analogy I've ever heard.
You’re in the minority. The vast majority of pizzas are sold with toppings. I was at a Neapolitan pizza place here in Charlotte with a large group and no one ordered just a plain cheese. Like I said, that’s a kids order and the majority of adults choose toppings. Not knocking a plain cheese, but it’s about as boring as it gets.

Yes, a lot of people order with toppings. I stand by my statement. They don't like pizza. They load it with garbage because they want to taste the garbage and not the pizza.

Correction: You have a child’s palette and don’t like toppings. To say that people that add toppings don’t like pizza is asinine.

1. I absolutely have a child's palette and don't give a flying fuck. Your judgment is meaningless 2. I eat pizza with toppings on it plenty of times. But I do it when it's shit pizza that needs it. 3. They. Don't. Like. Pizza. If. It. Needs. Toppings.

You’re clearly not a foodie since my pasta analogy went way over your head. The sauce (or gravy if you’re Italian) in a pasta dish is an ingredient (ie topping) and differentiates it.

Thanks for acknowledging you have a child’s palate. Your judgement is meaningless as well and you’re missing out on a lot of great pizzas by limiting yourself to cheese, but hey the vast majority “they. Don’t. Like. Pizza”. Frankly that’s one of the silliest positions I’ve read in a long time.

You going to also chastise people that add parm or hot pepper flakes too?

If you don't like toppings you don't like pizza?

Idk man, I fucking LOVE pizza and could eat it every day of my life. But as mentioned, cheese pizza is boring AF. I’ll eat a piece or 2 but I need toppings and no not because it’s a shitty pizza. People’s opinions on good or bad food is very subjective to said person. I love certain places and others say it sucks. Who the fuck says yours or my opinion is the Bible.

would you make the same argument for a plain burger?

a shit burger with all sorts of toppings can cover up for a patty being sub-par, but no one's epitome of a burger is going to be a naked patty and bun...

No, I'm not a foodie by any stretch. I am a pizza connoisseur though. I know that reading is something you routinely struggle with, so I'll state it again. I get toppings on pizza all the time. When I do, it's because the pizza needs it.

Another analogy would be that it's kind of like the people that need a gallon of sauce with each chicken wing. You don't really like wings, you're just using it as a vessel to shovel sauce. You like toppings. Nothing wrong with that, but it's not about the pizza then.

You could make that argument. How many people do you know that shutter at the idea of putting sauce or anything else on a steak?

Pizza connoisseur lol. You post pics of half eaten Cheese pizzas. I guess that makes you an expert in some circles.

All pizzas NEED toppings. Cheese is a topping. But hey you’re a “connoisseur” and I struggle with reading.

Like I stated before, cheese is typically a kids pizza. I enjoy it too, but I also will order additional pizzas with adult toppings because cheese gets really boring fast.

And your wing analogy proves you’re not a foodie. The sauce or dry rub is a very critical component to a wing.

What makes you a pizza connoisseur, and what makes your OPINION better than mine or anyone else for that matter?
I like thin crust and a sweeter sauce, you may not like that and you will probably say thats pure shit and not pizza, what makes you the expert that can say that? You could say IN YOUR OPINION its not good, but to sit here and crown yourself the pizza expert is fucking hilarious.

the essence of the burger must be cooked properly. i don't care how many eggs, french fries, avocados, grilled onions get tossed on top.
