Probably still better than Pizza Hut.

Wait, I take that - it’s British. The only thing in this world worse than British pizza is likely British vending machine pizza.

Do I detect a modicum of hyperbole, old bean? *swats Tom65 with furled copy of The Times*

They’ve had the same thing in China for 15 years, except it’s called “Let’s Puppy.”

This is so wrong on so many levels.

@Tom65, don’t know where in England you had your pizza but I’ve had some very good pizza across the Pond (as well as some very bad). But I’m with you re British vending machine pizza.

Anyone want to go over there with me to suss it out? ;-)

If I ever see one, I’ll afford it the same respect as Mandrake showed to the Coca-Cola machine in Dr. Strangelove.

Mandrake has his own line of vending machines called “I’m Feeding You, Jack.”

[Apologies for obscure Strangelove reference. Please don’t blame me—the string in my leg is gone.]

I’d try it in a pinch. I’m firmly in the “bad pizza is better than NO pizza” camp.

You’ve obviously never purchased one from a Glasgow fish and chip shop.

Tip for Tourists: If you’re tempted to order a pizza in such an establishment, first look around and see whether it has any pizza ovens. If in doubt, specify “I don’t want it deep-fried.”

If they look askance at you, don’t assume they’re overreacting to yet another picky American tourist, just up and run for your life.

OK, maybe I went a little hyperbolic with the British pizza claim, but I can state categorically that Scottish pizza is indeed a crime against humanity.

So there.

*hurls deep-fried battered haggis in Tom65’s general direction*

Keep trying ...

I’d actually prefer the haggis, thanks.

To expand on YAFB’s Scottish culinary tips for American tourists, do NOT order a pizza on Skye unless you LIKE seafood.

Has anyone here actually eaten it? I have, and it’s pretty good. Surprisingly so.

@YAFB: anchovy pizza, pizza deep-fried in fishy oil, once you’ve slipped down that scaly slope, what’s the diff?

Don’t Glaswegians look askance at everything anyway?

I’d actually prefer the haggis, thanks.

You sure about that? Really, really sure?

jamey, when I was a little girl, my brother and I were taken to Scotland, where we were given haggis, and it was so good that AFTER WE FOUND OUT WHAT IT WAS, WE ATE IT ANYWAY.

And that was before the advent of conceptual deep-fryer art.

You sure about that? Really, really sure?

I actually like haggis.

OK, credit where credit is due - I actually did have a decent pizza in Fraserburgh, of all places.

I actually like haggis.

Yeah, but you also like pizza.

Can’t be any worse than that crap they call pizza in Chicago.

I don’t trust it.  I get p-o’d enough when my Sno-caps get stuck in the machine we have at work…

La Famiglia pizza has one of these in the back.

Oy, Lawnguylander, let’s leave deep-dish and stuffed pizza out of this.

Can’t be any worse than that crap they call pizza in Chicago.

You gonna take that, Oblo?

Deep-dish and stuffed are not pizzas - they are merely more efficient conveyors of heart attacks, as well as being a Blasphemy on the name of pizza. Also, too: the application of pineapple to the innocent mozz-laden surface of a THIN CRUST, i.e. REAL pizza.

Nah—because we’ve got your hot dogs beat to shit. Um, I mean…

we’ve got your hot dogs beat to shit.

No argument there!

I’m with you on the pineapple pizza Brit.  BBQ chicken pizza also, too.  Two food items that are quite good on their own become repellant slime when mixed together.

So is Italian beef just a Chicago thing? I’ve never been able to find a decent one outside of my lil burg.
