Gotta tell ya all that according to la signora_Quarantanova who was born there, nobody in Italy eats hot food with their hands. It took her years after arriving here to get to where she could pick up a hamburger.
There's a really good place in the next town over from me, it's across the street from a movie theater. Some friends and I go there almost every Friday night for pizza, then across the street to a movie. It really is very good pizza, although I'm no expert, but one of the friends that I go with is of Italian extraction, so I guess if he says it's good it's good.
I was in Missouri for a week last year (don't ask) and like an idiot I ordered Italian take-out. I don't know exactly what got delivered, but it sure as hell wasn't pizza.
As a native I can state with authority that the so-called "deep-dish" pizza did not exist in the Chicago of my youth and is, therefore, inauthentic. Italian food is eaten at restaurants named "Salvatore's Home Cooking," where candles drip wax over the straw-wrapped Chianti bottles onto red-checked tablecloths, and there's really only one dish on the menu: spaghetti with meatballs.*

I know. I kinda like it too. Just maundering like the oldster I am.
Italian pizza has a very thin, crisp crust and when you order it, you get a whole pizza, about 30 cm in dia. There are many toppings, including spicy sausage , but none called pepperoni. Italians love pizza as much as everybody else in the world.
There is no pizza with ham and pineapple on it, because that is an abomination.
Ted Bundy and Charlie Manson ate their pizza with a fork. Just sayin'.
So did my dad. Should I hide?

Sadly for Kasich, he's going for New York votes and not Italy votes.
He better hope voters are standing on line to vote for him, as opposed to in line, as Real Americans put it.
To say nought about those blokes in the queue over there.
Pizza forkist here, also too. Never eat it with my hands, urgh.

Starfleet. Ugh. That's one even pizza: it's a takeout Stromboli turned inside out in a Transporter accident.

After this, McCoy only took the Shuttle to work.
OK then, how 'bout this:

Pizza Cultists! I'd heard rumors, but hoped they weren't true.

The pizza here in Ohio is pretty awful, fuck square pizza
There is excellent pizza in town, but the couple that run the place are Jersey City expats. Of course.
"We have extra pollution in our pizza, yay!"

I thought Chicago deep-dish pizza started in the 1940s.
The "Chicago of my youth" was a small part of the larger city, probably. Morgan Park.

Okay, makes more sense now, probably took time to spread.
