Why aren't Americans eating pizza anymore?
>>21878986They never did
>>21878986Because 60% of Americans these days are not from America. They will mask it as "changing tastes" but no it's changing demographics.
>>21878986I make my own, averages out to 1 per week
Too expensive
It's overpriced. It's mostly just tomato sauce and cheese on plain white bread. That's it.
>>21878988everyone likes pizza though. there's pizza places all over the entire world. just because no one wants to be price gouged by pizza hut or papa johns doesn't mean people aren't eating pizza anymore. ever since I moved out of bumblefuck there's local places and regional chains everywhere with much better pizza than national chains.
>>21879012You ever been to Denver? As they got an influx of Mexicans years ago every restaurant on every block is Mexican. They "like" pizza as a treat maybe but they want their cuisine to be dominant and it's not just Mexicans
>>21879020>mexicans>eating mexican foodMaybe once in a blue moon. Those restaurants all cater primarily to white liberals.
>>21879020Huh I actually had some great pizza in denverThey had good Neapolitan and New York style pizza on the same damn street in downtownSome really good breakfast tooI didn't have me Bim-Bimz back then THOUGH
They don't deliver anymore. Their delivery model changed from normal delivery to someone just leaving the food on the sidewalk and driving off without knocking on the door, while charging you $10 for it. Since they outsource them, they just tell you to fuck off when you complain because, "They're not OUR drivers; we have nothing to do with them." Even though you literally just paid them to deliver it to you.
>>21879022In the more "ethnic" areas, "foreigners" tend to enjoy their own kind have food, to use the parlance of our times
>>21879022liberals didn't bring it on every block in Mexican dominated areas>>21879023so you just ignored everything I said fantastic
>>21879024?I ALWAYS pick up my pizza myself
>>21879029I didn't ignore what you said I'm just a poor communicatorBoobachane ise mye amazinge bige tittieee waifue, bye thee waye
>>21879033range ban europeans already enough is enough
>>21878986troll thread shitpost.
>>21878986Pizza was always about being affordable, somewhere between fast food and a sit down restaurant … now it’s pretending to be fine dining and priced to match … the whole industry needs to get back in its lane as the kids like to say
>>21879032Do you meet the driver out in the parking lot?
>4 dollars worth of ingredients>that'll be 20 dollarsNo. Pizza is so overpriced it's not even funny
>>21879023When did you live there? Remember Denver Ted's cheesesteaks off Colfax?
>>21878986I amIts just homemade now since eating out became a near guarantee your food is touched by brown hands
>>21878986Because a large pie went from $15 to $25
>>21879035?
>>21879060I only visited for a nightKinda cool cityI preferred Salt Lake City actually
>>21879060Oh and it was back in 2017
>>21879099Nobody cares, retard. Get a life.
>>21878986literally ate pizza last night and this morning.fuck you on about?
>>21878986Everyone I know who eats alot of pizza has cancer.
>>21878986Spics don't into pizza.
>>21878986Because large pizzas used to be 14"-16". Now they're <12" and cost twice as much.I used to get full of 3 slices of Papa John's large. Now I can eat over half and still want to finish it off.
>>21878986The quality is gone down the shitter.
>>21878986I cook it at home now once a week for less than $5.
>>21878986We are. It's the non-Americans who don't into eating pizza.
>>21878986Because the prices are fucking ridiculous for what you get. It's bread, cheese, and tomato yet a lot of places are moving to charge upwards of 25-30 dollars for it.
>>21879251When do you plan to get good at it?
>>21878986People are more isolated, hard to take down an entire pizza by yourself. also pizza outside the northeast and bay area kinda blows.
>>21879287I'm pretty good at it.
>>21879251Whats your dough recipe pls?
>>21879297https://www.seriouseats.com/foolproof-pan-pizza-recipe
Pizza should be $10 for a freshly made one not $25 for a piece of shit made with frozen dough.
How stupid is this thread? And the replies?Americans eat more pizza than anyone in the world.
>>21879465That's not true. Norway is number one in pizza consumption.
>>21879012a whole lot of people can't eat dairy anon
>>21878986No bitches?
>>21878986pizza fucks up my fast and makes me gain like 10lbs of water weight and it fucks up my cute twink aestheticsalso before I started doing that, every pizza chain started doing this thing where it's like 70% cheaper if you order online and paid with card for carryout and I didn't feel like doing that, why are the menu prices for in person and ordering over the phone like 3x more expensive?
>>21879512yeah, browns. who of which need not apply.
>>21878986Used to be a cheap good food that everyone loved. Now its overpriced as fuck. I got a dough machine and started making it at home way better and cheaper than pizza shops.
I refuse to eat chain pizzas because they suck. Local places have gotten too expensive and I'm not paying 25 bucks for a medium pepperoni.
>>21879020>>21878988this
>>21878986Too expensive
I buy frozen pizzas when they're on sale and add my own toppings. Onion, jalapeno, black olives, extra cheese. Fuck the box directions, crank your oven as hot as it will go and throw it in for 12 minutes and then keep an eye on it past that and use your judgement. When you think it's "almost" done turn on the broiler and keep an even closer eye on it. Take it out when it's done to your taste.I do this 4-5 times a month, always tastes great and is less than $4 per pizza.
>>21881694I forgot to add, when you take it out let it rest for a few minutes before you cut in. Like a steak you need to let it rest for it to coalesce. idk how to describe it but it's cleaner, less messy, and holds together better if you do this.
>>21881501yup it's good.also the secret to good dough is in the choice of yeast
>>21878986Because in the past, you could get 2 large pizzas delivered for 30 bucksI recently got ONE medium pizza delivered. 52 dollars.
>>21882737you're full of shit and you know it. post receipt
>>21882746
>>21879287pan pizza has a lot of margin for error and is hard to mess up unless you are just completely negligent when cooking it or use terrible ingredients
>>21882737You're retarded. Why would you pay that much for a shitty medium pizza? I'm not poor but I refuse to let those delivery services abuse me like that. Even drunk me sometimes wants to order something and then he sees the price and says fuck those n-people and makes some noodles or some salami cheese bread olives or stumbles to the 7/11 a mile away. If I don't pick up the food myself or the restaurant doesn't use their own delivery drivers, I'm not getting take out.
>>21882784>You're retarded.Yeah, sometimes I get drunk and don't feel like cookingLuckily I can count on one hand how many times this happens a year
>>21882737>>21882758>doordashIdiot.
>>21882737>>21882758>>21882803>>21882784Famn, you really paid 50 bucks for a Pizza Hut huh
>>21882803I get sloppy drunk all the time and don't feel like cooking but I still know better than to pay $52 for a medium Pizza Hut za.
>>21882812>>21882817Yeah, I'm not proud of it. I really didn't want to leave my house
>>21882758let's see the itemized receiptfor all we know you could have ordered breadsticks and drinks with that too
>>21882835You mean you really wanted pizza because you were drunk and also because you drunk you said fuck the price I'm having me a za ain't nobody telling me nothing. Fuck all yalls Imma finna pay you cause I wants the za not cause yalls deserves it
Ordering pizza for everyone used to be $20. Now it's $50
>>21881762what the fuck is that price i pay 10 cents for half of that in poland is cooking such an uncommon thing in the US that yeast is a speciality item?
>>21878986cuz i got no money
>>21878999>>21879000Back to back trips and not a single check. Stick a fork in her we're done.
>>21878986>Why aren't Americans eating pizza anymore?Because American pizza is shit. One topping of meat, and it's always some ultraprocessed shit, and they don't even top it with garlic sauce like God intended.
>>21878986ozempic
polling chains overlooks local independent places and homemade
>>21879504Per capita maybe. But there aren't nearly as many Norwegians as Americans.
>>21882758You paid a fucking middleman, Doordash, to bring it to you. That's senseless. Order from a place with their own drivers. They do still exist. They have the magnetized light on the top of their vehicles. In my town they provide the drivers with little hatchbacks with the company logo on the doors. You did it the dumbest way possible and paid the most for the worst pizza available!
>>21881501>>21878997I started making my own and can get a really good result now that ive started adding vital wheat gluten to the dough. Nice crispy crust with a softy stretchy crumb, and every so often one of those ash black bubbles that turn to dust that you only get with high gluten dough.Oddly its given me a decent appreciation for dominoes as pretty good but the price is unbeatable. Fancier more expensive places don't seem worth it.I really doubt that price is the main reason pizza is less popular now as all restaurants leave me feeling robbed afterwards. Its probably just more competition in general and especially in the delivery space.
>>21885460No one cares
>>21878986Americans aren't eating anything any more, the ultimate goyim are finding out what being shabbos gets you in the end
>>21878986>Why aren't Americans eating pizza anymore?A large pizza is $25. If you ever get one 50% off, the pizza is shrunk and you end up paying the same amount for how much pizza you get.Remember area is a squared function, so ever inch it gets smaller, it exponentially shrinks.
>>21878988>>21879020Beaner here, Mexico is full of pizza places. I don't know where the hell they got the idea that we don't like them. There are more Little Caesars than taquerias.
>>21879210We love that crap
>>21881486>brownsAsians
>>21878986they're busy getting shot by ice
>>21879012>no one wants to be price gouged by pizza hut or papa johnsThe good local places in my area cost extravagant amounts of money and they're always crowded as piss. It's easier and more economical by far to just do a pickup order at domino's.
>>21883865why not? didn't you invest in 2020 and 5x?
>>21883845I dunno dude, I can buy a 120g jar for like 3-4EUR here in Canada.
>>21879060Fellow Colfax hooker here, I used to like Enzos End pizza near the Jew Hospital, my senpai lived on Jefferson street I think
>>21879447its not 1990 anymore anon, go buy a groccery store refrigerated one for about that price
>>21882812
>>21885467niggas be paying for private taxis for their pizzas and wondering why it is expensive
>>21878986It has gotten really expensive. And a lot of restaurants are cutting corners. With such a simple recipe that means the pizza will taste like shit.
i bought a pizza 2 days ago
>>21878986Pizza used to be a relatively affordable treat that was delivered to your door. Slightly more expensive then home cooking but usually less then eating out and you get to watch a movie in the comfort of your own place. Now pizza is wildly over priced even if you pick it up and criminally so if you have it delivered. It simply is not good enough or difficult to make to justify their current prices. I will happily grab a slice for $2-3 on the go. I sure as fuck am not paying $14.99 for large and then a $4 delivery fee plus tip. At those prices I could have gotten a nice steak and grilled it myself and had a much better quality meal. They are trying to sell pop-tarts at premium prices and the market is upside down for cost/quality.
>>21886766Beaners in America need to make a big bravado show of being beaners so they don't eat pizza and near exclusively eat bean foods for cultural pride to cope with the fact that they've become rootless soulless slave cogs in the American economic machine.
>>21887857My condolences. Looks like shit.
>>21878986americans have poor taste
>>21888205That's retarded. No they don't.
>>21878986It's gotten hard to find good normal (NY or generic "American" style) pizza in my experience. Everything is either wood-fired "gourmet" pizza or CPK-style bullshit, and either way it's ridiculously overpriced.
>>21888310>Everything is either wood-fired "gourmet" pizza or CPK-style bullshitThose pizzas have been around since the 80s. Where do you live where that's now becoming trendy?
>>21888314Well, it's been trendy for a long time, they just existed alongside more traditional pizzerias but those have been dwindling or switching business models. I saw a lot of it in LA over the last 10-15 years and it's hitting the small PNW city where I live now.
>>21878986i made this last night
>>21878986I don't believe you
>>21878986Any pizza that isn't a chain is going to run you upwards of $30 for a single fucking large
>>21888467>myheartbelongstoaroni.jpg
>>21888259You're retarded and clearly don't live around them. yes they do, same thing with blacks. Once upon a time American blacks use to name their kids normal European anglo names then they wanted a separate identity and started calling their kids tyroniques.
>>21883845No one cares about the yeast they scrape from your mother and sister's pussythis is genuwine American made yeast from the best country in the world
Because no adult has ever liked pizza and pepperonis are forced. Once you hit 16, why would anyone have any interest in it unless they are suspect?
>>21888208t. europoor who can't comprehend melted cheese
It can easily cost $100 to feed a family of 4 with Pizza Hut or something. That's insane.Plus it's practically inedible now. The good times are over.
>>21889311pizza hut doesn't even make their own pizzaseverything they put on the frozen communion wafer is also hyper processed slopeven if you live in some shithole population 0 town with no local pizza joints the shit you find in the frozen section of the grocery store is still better than shitza hut.
>>21878986because there's no good pizza outside the northeast and spots along the west coast. also america is in a steep end-stage capitalism decline where our country is increasingly isolated and people have difficulty affording and eating food that's intended to be shared amongst multiple people.
>>21889305We invented the culinary concept. Also learn to greetext you massive fucking newfag.
>>21889427you see what you need to do there is apply heat, not too much heat, and not too short of a time. slowly the cheese will melt. it's a simple concept really. just make sure you've paid your oven loicense and heat loicense since akhmed burned a baby alive in an oven that one time and was freed due to racism
If I go by this board all you fuckers eat are burgers and pizza! Wtf are all these serious replies?!
>>21889440only fat people think about food all day enough to make threads and wait for (you)s
>>21886766a major portion aren't mexicans, the second gen mexicans hate the new gen / south american migrants more than racist whites
>>21878986for a while it was the only convience option besides fast food (american or faux-mexican) and chinese, now there's a billion of everything, all have to deliver with door dash, the non english speakers can order it without having to make phone calls and everything is as expensive as everything else so you're not saving anything by getting it.
>>21878986We Zah now
>>21888607Now that you mention it, it's funny because in Mexico a lot of people are named Kevin, Brandon, Bryan, but Mexicans in the US have names like Pedro, Juan, Jesús.
