You call that eating? In 5 years that will be called suicidal behaviour.
If it can be cornered, it will.

I grew up on McDonald's and pizza. It's often better than what kids get at home. I'll never forget overhearing the mother asking her 3 year old if he wanted a corn dog or grilled cheese for dinner. Mmmmmm

depends on what else you do. if you eat bad all the time and are sedentary yep food like pizza will kill you.

my wife is training for the ironman in cor d'lene in june... 2.4 mile swim, 112 miles bike and 26 mile run....in under 17 hours.

she ran 15 miles on saturday and biked 35 miles today. i spent 1.5 hours in the gym saturday and biked 16 miles today (i'm older :lol: ).

we had 4 slices of pizza each, which is 1000 calories and 44 gms of fat each.

i'm still hungry ... i think i'll go make myself a salad B) .

Remember Godfather's Pizza?
My 2nd fav was Uno's Chicago style.
Pizza Hut is my 3rd fav.
Uno's left Tulsa.
A local Tulsa school teacher opened up a Ken's Pizza decades ago.
Now he has Mazzios, Zios and his newest Oliveto.

if you are ever in monterey giannis pizza is the place. otherwise i prefer pizza hut because i love the crust.

i don't eat pizza often but when i do i usually buy one of those massive slices at costco for $1.99 or get a slice of yuppie pizza at whole earth. i've heard of Uno's and i think i've seen their store but i haven't eaten there. never seen a godfather's.

we have dominos, pizza hut, caesars and mountain mikes as the bigger chains.

UNO's in Chicago was my all time favorite pizza place. That is the original downtown
restaurant where UNO's started. They served the pizza in a thick black pan. UNO's
was located in a very old building. The decor inside was almost dungeonesque.
They used imported Italian sausage, and that divine cheese which I don't know
much about. The crust was crisp, thick and well fried. Two slices filled you up. In early 1960's
there would be 100 people waiting to get a table on Friday and Saturday evenings.
We were all crammed in a 12x12 waiting room. But nobody cared. It was worth the wait.

Then they opened a bigger joint nearby called appropriately DUO's. Same Pizza, but much
easier to get a table. Alas, all good things come to an end, and the owners sold the
franchise. The current Pizza is just a ghost image of the original.

Your mention of UNO's brought back so many happy memories. Today, my wife and I had
the chicken and artichoke and spinach pizza on a thin crust from Papa Murphy's. It was
very good but will never stick to the ribs like UNO's did.

Believe it or not, the pizza at Costco's food court is EXCELLENT.... Waayyyy better than Dominos, Pizza Hut or Papa Johns... and at 1/2 the price.

The "ready to bake" from Costco's cooler is nowhere near as good...
