I don’t know any European that would only eat a slice of pizza instead of the whole thing.
The only time an European eats a single slice of pizza is the next morning after they have overestimated their ability to devour the entire thing.
The third whole pizza*
That slice comes from a pie almost half a meter in diameter. That single slice has the surface area of most European pizzas.
Nope, you deerly underestimate the hunger for pizza over here.
I live in Germany.
You underestimate these Costco pizzas. On the 1600 square centimeters, they pile half a kilo of cheese
I also don’t know any Italian who eats their Pizza by slicing it up, folding the slice, and shoving it into their mouthes, instead of with knife and fork, like a civilized person.
I’ve seen people rolling their whole pizza to eat it like a Lahmacun.
In fact it was only one person but I’ve seen it quite often because we saw daily.
I’m on my way home from Amsterdam atm, a slice of pizza was €10.
I skipped that and left hungry, because i’m buying two pizza’s and a big bottle of coke when i get home in about an hour.
Damn, you can get an entire large pizza for $10 at Costco. Granted, your only options are pepperoni or cheese, and the quality isn’t the best (far from the worst, though), but it’ll feed 1-3 people.
Still, I miss the days when you could a large pizza with unlimited toppings at various chain restaurants for $10. But that was over 10 years ago.
You only need to be a cosco member and hopefully not have any previous experience with pizza
Domino’s still regularly has €5 pizza’s on monday for pickup, at my old job during the late shift we had €17 per person to spend on food and 2 people in the shift.
We used to order 2 family xxl with their thursday 50% off for second pizza and a regular sized cheeseburger pizza+ drinks for that €34.
We both ate half our xxl and shared the regular size one, the remainder came home to feed our wives while the company covered the cost.
They even paid us a pretty decent wage too, but unfortunately the head office decided to build a new automated warehouse right when covid started that ended up only doing 30% productivity and they closed us down as a result.
A large Costco pizza will feed way more than 1-3. I’m not even trying to act like bird food eater here. I’m 225lbs and 6’2” so I know how to eat.
That said, I absolutely love Costco pizza and my safe zone is like 2 slices because they are enormous.
It’s like my breakfast and i’m an european. Some american vibe in an eastern europe shithole. But I would add a spicy sauce to the pizza.
I live in Scotland, our chip shops do deep fried battered pizza. Get on our levels.
I’m ever astonished at the variety of deep fried stuff at Appalachian festivals and fairs. All these stalls trying to one-up the rest with the lengths they are willing to go into hot fat depravity. Grease-boiled confections and savories of every niche. A healthcare nightmare. But this is a region steeped in despair. It’s tough to heap blame on folks giving up.
Fuck you now I’m craving a half pizza supper and a deep fried mars bar but the nearest proper chippy is thousands of miles away back home in scotland 😭
They probably have that at a state fair here in the US. They deep fry everything there, even Oreos.
Deep Fried Butter. Stick of fat wrapped in carbs fried in more fat. I don’t think that can be topped.
Where do you think pizza comes from?
Like all things, we have seized it and made it our own. Like how getting Chinese food in an American restaurant only vaguely resembles Chinese cuisine. 💪
To be fair Chinese food in Europe doesn’t have much to do with actual Chinese food either
Depends on the restaurant, but in general - yes, proper Chinese is rare.
I mean, tomatoes are a fruit native to the Americas, so even though pizza was invented in Italy, its invention is still tied to the America side of the Atlantic in some ways. Pizza has a very interesting past!
Pizza existed before they had tomatoes tho
I would argue that the modern understanding of pizza in Italy and across the globe is one that includes tomatoes. Things prior to that called pizza would likely not pass as pizza today. And it’s pretty accepted that pizza and tomatoes are very linked. Imo you’re being pedantic.
Fun fact, in many places, soft-serve ice cream is known as “Italian ice cream”.
What we are seeing here is a slightly botched traditional Italian lunch.
slightly
ಠ_ಠ
Italian pizza is really different than American.
Yes, usually it’s a whole pizza, not one tenth
Pizza al taglio?
Va bene per i bambini
You clearly have never had Italian pizza. Not even close.
Pizza is American unless you want to claim every flatbread is a pizza.
We are all working class. Don’t let the 1% divide us with their borders.
It’s clear we all love pizza… together. Solidarity amongst the working class!
I once went to a Polish restaurant and the starter was pork fat on toast.
And a hazelnut vodka.
There are many ways for a heart to implode.
Pork fat is less processed product and certainly more healthy. America isn’t actually great at much but one thing we do have is the least healthy food to ever exist.
Truth. Heart disease wasn’t nearly as prevalent back when we cooked everything with lard. And then Crisco came along, started producing that overprocessed “vegetable oil” garbage, marketed it (and continue to market it) as “healthy”, and people actually fell for their BS. Hell, judging by the amount of downvotes you got, half the public still believes this lie.
A lot of this is because people had to do a lot more exercise during the day than we do now. Not that the lard was better for us. This is where a lot of the downvotes come from. Even the rich had to do a lot more walking. If we could return to the amount of exercise we averaged 50+ years ago, you would see a lot of this decline. The next big thing is the amount we eat. We consume significantly more calories now than we used to. In the past 100 years it has increased ~20%. All the while we have been doing less physically. The third big factor is where the shitty food comes in. Having sugar/highly refined carbs added to just about everything promotes over-eating, while also fucking with your insulin production, and other endocrine issues, that promote fat retention, while also increasing addictive eating disorder likelihood.
Hot roast chicken skin chopped onto rice is a meal fit for the gods.
Better than bacon. And I know those are fighting words in some places. Just embrace the schmaltz and let it drip into the rice.
The key is to get to that skin while it’s still hot, but before it winds up in the fridge. You can reconstitute it in a skillet, like bacon, but it’s just not the same.
Eating animal parts totally makes me feel like a Ferengi eyeing your latinum ring.
Polish hazelnut booze is awful. Granted I only know Solpica, but one shot tastes the whole day and maybe longer.
I don’t know why but those ice cream things make me physically sick to look at sometimes. That amount of sugar in one sitting is borderline lethal for me.
now imagine drinking it after you just had Pizza+Soda
Hah! In Scotland we dip pizza in batter and deep fry it. With a deep-fried Mars bar for afters.

Time to make a pilgrimage
Get drunk before having it, but if you’re coming here you were probably going to do that anyway
That deep fried creme egg looks naughty
I’m calling Gordon Ramsey on your ass.
Gordon Ramsey would deep fry that pizza in wagyu tallow.
I’m from the Midwest and never had Costco food before. Tbh, it’d probably kill me too, lol.
Obesity is a natural reaction to an unnatural food environment
Why there is only one slice of pizza?
One slice of Costco cheese pizza has like 700 calories
What diameter?
Nearly 46cm
Thanks
One football field divided by a Washington monument.
Regular football or one where bulls smash their heads into concussion? Also who is washing ton monument? And why? I didn’t know americans built monument for ton.
The second kind of football of course! You know, the one where players mostly carry the ball with their hands.
He ate the rest before he could do a photo
Why would you get the ice cream/froyo AND a soda?
Can you go to Costco without getting a hotdog?
I’ve been a member for 3+ years and literally never bought the hotdog. Why would I go to Costco hungry? That sounds like a good way to buy a bunch of junk I don’t really want.
What? That’s like going to Ikea and not getting meatballs
IKEA is a furniture store. This is not a good comparison.
If you insist. But I’m my eyes they’re both warehouse style outlets known for a wacky food item.
Also, it’s just a joke. Please settle down
As an European, I cannot comprehend the width of that centre console. 2 drinks side-by-side AND some extra? Must be a full eagle screech wtf is a kilometer V8 mortr truck.
Fun fact:
It’s “a European” since the pronunciation starts with “ˌjʊ”. Similar thing with “university”.
I’m not trying to be a dick but to spread information.
Ok, that’s all. Thank you for reading :)
Looks like half the calories of a swiss fondue. We are not really European though.
not really European
Wdym by that ?
Switzerland is geographically in Europe but we are not part of the European Union. We don’t want to share our cheese.
EUROPEAN (adjective) Belonging to or relating to Europe or its people.
That cheese got in your head.
Yeaaah maybe I missed some subtlety of the adjective, sorry.
Hopefully I can catch some of this cheese in my head with my tongue.
