Hot Takes Discussion

[Northern Seleucia]

Oh, for real? Awesome. What do you cook?

mid-class italian restaurant.

That's awesome. Beginning in January of this year, I've been on a personal food tour of stuff here in Boston. I've tried dozens of italian restaurants, and damn....I love it. I've eaten linguine for the first time, I ate some chicken alfredo that really hit the spot...and I've had some disappointments (I went to Rhode Island and never returned to that place.)

Them and dominoes are truly the only ones who can out pizza the Hut by far

You americans need to get kicked in the balls collectively for what your country did to Pizza. Dominos... blergch, really? That sh** should come with a warning label. o0

Am American. Went to the military base in Vicenza, Italy once. Pizza was good, but it didn't build up my immune system from the chemics I have ingested like the American food.

disregard the above posters, little ceasars is objectively the worst food i have ever had in my life

Must not have had much food in life, I assume? I can think of a long list of foods that are worse. For instance, asparagus is terrible.

Asparagus is a normal-tasting vegetable, on par with most other vegetables. Prepared right it's downright good. Little Ceasar's on the other hand has made me want to vomit every time I had it. Your opinion on asparagus combined with your previous take suggests to me that you have a severe fast food addiction.

little caesar's is the only fast food pizza chain i can stomach tbh

domino's is too flavorful, pizza hut is soggy and gross, papa john's has WAY too much sauce, and marco's likes to give me food poisoning

It's possible that the problem is the specific little caesar's I went to and not the whole chain

[Stellar Colonies]

Asparagus stalks have a better taste and texture than the rough bit at the top.

Little Caesar's is also average but okay.

Mac OS X Jaguar is a great OS and in many respects better than Tiger. It's not as good as Mac OS 9.2, but it does support more software features than it. On computers that can run it, especially those that can't run Mac OS 9, it is almost a must-have. Plus, it's not spyware-ridden like modern Windows and modern CPUs are. Linux doesn't help if it's still running on silicon hewn by either Intel or AMD, IBM is still your only good option for libre computing until libre-SoC starts selling their Microwatt-based CPUs.

Little Caesar's is actually good. People just hate it because it's cheap and it hurts their ego to buy cheap stuff.

disregard the above posters, little ceasars is objectively the worst food i have ever had in my life

Objectively the worst food I have ever had in my life was from my college cafeteria. Our food service was — I am not making this up — ruled to be cruel and unusual punishment to serve to prisoners. We got halfway decent frozen pizzas on Family Weekend, but the rest of the time the "pizzas" were literally slices of French bread with ketchup and a sprinkling of cheese on top, and sometimes a pepperoni or two, kept warm and soggy in a steamer. We could always tell when we were having hamburgers, because of the clouds of cow-scented smoke billowing from the cafeteria. They were basically charcoal briquettes with a meat center. But the worst thing they ever served me was a turkeyburger, which I took one bite of and immediately spit it out, because the alternative would have been vomiting it up. It tasted like someone already had.

I wouldn't call Little Caesar's good, exactly, but you get what you pay for. And it's still edible when it's cold, unlike Pizza Hut, which coagulates into a cake of Crisco. And it's just straight-up better than Papa John's.

This man really the food analyst over here damm

Well, I am a cook.

Based. I just cook as a hobby, mind if I ask for advice every now and then?

Unironically sounds like elementary and middle school lunch.

I think that crap is what gave me a steel stomach. Eight years of school food made it so that I could easily down a whole box of Little Caesars or Dominos or Pizza Hut and walk away without a care in the world.

Hungry Howie's is the best broke-ass pizza by far.

You're all wrong, the best broke pizza place is (CHEAPO LOCAL PLACE THAT WOULD ABSOLUTELY GET ME DOXXED IF IT POSTED ITS NAME)!

Incorrect, the pizza I bought in an alleyway in Chinatown in New York from some sketchy person totally not involved with the mafia was the best broke pizza place.

Why are local pizza places in media (also occasionally IRL, like my local pizza place) always just named, like, an italian name, occasionally accompanied by a "big" or "little" before it?
Like, "Big Tony's", "Little Guisseppe's", "Bellissimo's"
What's the deal with that?

I can't name one place with that kind of name irl. At all.

Yeah, exactly. It's moreso in media. I distinctly remember it in Spiderman PS4, but I definitely have seen that kind of name elsewhere.

Gives the place a personal feel.

Glad to see we're discussing food hot takes. I like Italian food, and my favorite place locally, makes this really good Chicken Parm. The sauce is a little watery, and they completely doused the pasta with it, but other then that it's good.

School food is sh*t. The cheese had this little film-like coating on it, and the smell was awful.

The best pizza chain I've tasted would be Dominoes. Little Caesar's is meh, Papa Johns isn't good, and Marcos is decent.

Hmm, the pizza places in my general area:

University House of Pizza
Revere House of Pizza
Tremont House of Pizza
Boston House of Pizza
Nick's Place II
Little Steve's Pizza
Rizzo's Pizza

And each and every one of them are freakin' delicious.
