What's your favourite pizza ?

@samouraipizzacat @clousems You both might like an adult cartoon series that's on TV here. Its called "Samurai Jack" Jack could throw a pizza into the air...and slice it perfectly with his magic Samurai sword. It's a good idea for a show, Jack gets attacked by a flying flock of hostile pizza's...He slices them all up and has them for dinner. I crack myself up! Very entertaining! :]
@Skittle-Head That sounds very funny, I had already seen a similar thing in the Japanese Zatoichi series with the blind guy, but nevertheless he was not attacked by pizzas. LOL.
I will fight you to the ends of the earth on the classification of calzoni.
Pizza is a flatbread, whilst calzoni are folded, like a large dumpling. If one were to take your loose definition of "pizza," this would lead to all kinds of confusion. Are Stromboli or the so-called "pizza bagels" (obviously a misnomer) pizzas? And what of hot pockets?
I hereby accuse you of being a focacciammunist
EDIT: Oops, I forgot to tag @samouraipizzacat . Can you imagine how embarrassing that would have been?
I come to tell my favorite pizza and i find people talking about cartoons 😕😕🙄🙄🙄🙄
Anyway i'm a pepperoni and bacon fan 👏👏👏👏👏👏 (Maybe with some black olives here and there)
@clousems "Focacciammunist" LOL. └(=^‥^=)┐

Well, it's easy to understand : a Calzone is literally a pizza folded in half and just in half, with the same ingredients, so it remains for me a ... PIZZA, but folded in half : period ! Where Stromboli usually does not contain as many common ingredients as pizza, and it is folded in a very sophisticated way so that it looks almost like a big sandwich. No comparison possible !

@SlicingBishop2006 Wow, another Margherita fan!
@Savage_Cactus I see the pepperoni is really starting to be successful here! The bacon variation is a good move too !

Welcome to you ! (^・o・^)ノ”
Just because two foods have the same ingredients does not mean they are the same. Are a patty melt and a cheeseburger the same? Of course not!
In fact, Calzoni were actually invented as a portable alternative to the pizza, according to a thorough internet search. If something is an alternative to something else, than the two things cannot be the same.
EDIT: Just a warning, my pedanticism knows no bounds.
In Australia the pizza debate revolves around the addition (or not)of canned pineapple pieces.
On one side are the ignorant mawkish picayune biscuit-brained cloddish moronic barbarians who say "yes"to pineapple,and on the other side is me.
Basically "less is more" when it comes to a good pizza,but I confess I am partial to extra anchovies and a few capers in attendance.
Interesting anecdote...way back in the day,it was the job assigned to the young children of the family to take the left-overs from the previous nights repast down to the village baker ,who would then make a pizza with them.The children were always told "don't eat the pizza..bring it straight home!"..but of course nobody,let alone a bunch of kids,can resist a fresh hot pizza.
The parents,however,depended on the children giving in to temptation,and thus taking a long time to return home.This gave the parents a window of opportunity with the house being child-free.
You can probably fill in the next bit ...:)
