I see we've gone back to the classics of annoying language discourse, americans and the english telling each other they can't spell and can't cook

yanks arguing about new york style pizza versus chicago style pizza then suddenly the door bursts open to the deafening sound of bagpipes and they all start screaming at the awesome glory that is glasgow style pizza
I was specifically thinking of pizza crunch but a munchy box is good too
You can get basically any fight around pizza to end by having them google search Altoona pizza and watch them look on in growing horror and disgust
altoona pizza looks bad, but st louis pizza feels bad
it's just a lifeless cracker with tomato and cheese. there's no happiness to be found.
Oh so it's St. Louis I have to blame for that, I've been blaming Columbus OH for it, lol
But as a Counterpoint I think even with the crust on those being terrible if there's good cheese good sauce and good toppings that can be at least edible. Altoona Pizza is combining bad ingredients to make them all collectively worse, I've never seen anything of even mediocre quality used to make it. It's awful all the way down.
I've lived in Columbus for the better part of 30 years at this point in my life. We don't have a distinctive style and people whine about it on the subreddit all the time.
Tavern cut - that is, the square pattern - is popular here, yes. But a cut does not a style make; and it's popular across the Midwest, as well.
We've got places that do New York, Chicago, Detroit, and (covertly) St Louis style, but there's really nothing distinctive about our local pizzas in style.
For the record, it's a national chain that does the St Louis style and they market it as their "thin crust." I was coerced into choosing it once when my mom was trying to micromanage my diet.
I always assumed it was a Columbus thing because I absolutely never had it before moving here a few years ago. I think I have a bad habit of blaming things I don't like or are new to me on Columbus one really it's something endemic to larger Midwestern culture.
And yeah, there's definitely some places around here that make my NY ass happy, for sure.
