Altoona-style pizza

Kill it with fire!

Altoona-style pizza originated at the Altoona Hotel, which was noted as serving "a unique pizza" in 1996 by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Following the destruction of the hotel in 2013 by fire, other local restaurants began serving Altoona-style pizza.

Oh, they tried but took too long and the infection spread.

distant sound of Italians exploding

🧨

absolutely fucking not

While originally topped with Velveeta, Altoona-style pizza is popularly topped with yellow processed cheese known as American cheese.

A.k.a melted plastic.

Ehrm.... :

Processed cheese typically contains around 50–60% cheese and 40–50% other ingredients.

None of which are plastic. And that's the minority of ingredients anyways.

I will only accept American in two places, albeit mostly for nostalgia/vibes; burger/patty melt, and grilled cheese.

And even in those applications you can do a lot better for the melty cheese factor - hell even provolone or swiss is a solid upgrade.

Its good in a grilled cheese! I don't want fancy or even nice for grilled cheese. I want melty, fat melty, slightly oily, easy to eat like 3 of then in a go at 4am!

Cmon Linus, we all know it’s you

Crikey. I’m from NY and this was the worst pizza abomination I’d seen until now. And yes it’s disgusting. St Louis style pizza

NJ here. What the hell is provel cheese?

ProvelSteer clear lol

cheddar, swiss, provolone

used in pasta sauces

Lmao

Take one of those, throw the ingredients on haphazzardly so they're not evenly distributed at all, then burn it to a crisp. Congratulations you just made the new haven style pizza that people from Connecticut pretend they like out of hometown pride

YUMMY RIGHT???

This looks like a crime

:<

"..topped with American cheese.."

Fuck. Right. Off.

So fucking nasty.

Yeah the pizza isn't great, either

“Hello, r/pizzacrimes? I’d like to report a murder.”

Altoona would be a good candidate for Nuclear Whipping Boy

WHO LETS THE AMERICAN INVENT FOOD! THATS IT NO KITCHENS FOR AMERICANS ANYMORE!
