Everyday Item: Pizza - Pie As A Whole

P-i-z-z-a, I want P-i-z-z-a, I want P-i-z-z-a, I want pizza, pizza everyday!

I learned that fun little song when I was first grade. All through my public schooling, pizza day was looked forward to by almost everyone (except for those who were unfortunately lactose or gluten intolerant...and even then some of them suffered past their metabolic disabilities). So now in college, when pizza is an option at every meal (well...except for breakfast), at every club activity, or when I pick up the phone to call one of fifty local pizza locations, I've become desensitized to pizza day. And I've become more particular.

Pizza is served in both the dining hall and in the Falcon's Nest. In the dining hall, while pizza has been served less often than in the past, the variations differ from cheese to buffalo chicken to white pizza. In the Falcon's Nest, cheese pizza is served everyday, usually with another choice like vegetable pizza or pepperoni.

There's a saying that "Even bad pizza is good pizza." That phrase encompasses how I feel about the pizza in the dining hall and the Falcon's Nest. It's not the best pizza I've ever had, but it's not the worst.

Because the pizza sits out under hot lamps to keep it warm, the cheese gets dried out very quickly. The amount of sauce on the pizza could possibly be enough to create a whole other pizza. The crust is very thick at the top but very thin underneath all of the other toppings, making it very crisp. The taste is average, enough to satisfy a craving, not enough to make me scream out in joy.

Pizza is great to enjoy with friends while hanging out watching TV or the lastest YouTube videos. Recently, my friends and I have been enjoying our pizza by watching Harlem shake videos, the latest dance sensation that has generated millions of videos. My favorite so far has been the UGA Men's Swim Team: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkNrSpqUr-E. And the one with Matt and Kim: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DABphlXEyW8

It's said that New York has some of the best pizza and where you could get a great "slice." New York is very sensitive to the way non-New Yorkers react to their pizza...and to their dances. Harlem is not happy about that. Take a look at this video to see how Harlem reacts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGH2HEgWppc.

Ultimately, I give the pizza 2.5 out of 5 card swipes.
