As someone whose family is from Altoona, let me say that the abomination that is that pizza is not widely available in the city (a number of people in my family didn't even know of it's existence until the last decade or so) and most locals find it as baffling and disgusting as the rest of us. I'm also unsurprised that someone there would rat him out in hope of a reward, that city is the corpse of what it used to be, now stuffed to bursting with low-wage retail and healthcare jobs. It's also a conservative bastion, go figure.

Jim Cornette is a pro-wrestling personality who's known for his fast loud mouth on-air.
He's also known as being hard to get along with by most people.
So in the 1980s, when he was first becoming nationally well known, he would have bickering arguements with his coworkers. He made a list of people he didn't like.
Then in the 1990s, he worked with a guy named Vince Russo, who he still to this day HAAAAAATES. He's quoted as saying "Spite is a hell of a motivator, and it's the reason I'm going to live one day longer than Vince Russo. Just so I can piss on his grave."
So after dealing with Vince Russo, the WWF hired someone he worked with years earlier, and found he wasn't as mad at him as he once was.
He was quoted as saying "You used to be much higher on my shitlist, but you've moved down a few spots simply by not doing anything differently!"
I've always taken that last quote to be an interesting take on perspective. How things can be exactly the same, but your perspective may shift with experience.
With all that said, I see this picture, of something that is being called "Pizza", and I realize that pineapple on pizza isn't the abomination to the form of pizza that I once percieved it as.
This is poetry
Brilliant! We need to spread this message so us Pineapple Pizza lovers wont be so hated.

I like how every time I see this identical picture it’s cropped slightly smaller so people can claim it’s a unique image
There it is in full, address of the godforsaken restaurant and all.
Wait, this can’t be rea—https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g30034-d23568458-Reviews-29th_Street_Pizza_Subs_More-Altoona_Pennsylvania.html
i'm trying real hard not to judge, but how bad can the rest of the pizza in altoona for this to get 5 stars
Legit something a child would dream up. Let's take challah bread or something else thick like it and throw some ketchup on and a slice of plastic cheese on top. It's as much pizza as the candy spaghetti from Elf was pasta.
I'm not from the US, so pardon my ignorance. But holy shit, this place looks depressing as fuck. I don't know if it's the concrete jungle or the lack of walkability, but it just looks sad
It's the barren concrete taking up 3/4 of the view with a hint of lawn behind more concrete. Europe was built before modern vehicles and has narrower streets with more residential in between businesses and has some cobblestone and what not. USA was built around railways and highways so everyone has a car and walking was an afterthought.
Edit: additionally ever wonder why Europeans say how far a distance is in kilometers and Americans answer with "it's about 25 minutes"? It's partially that reason plus the physical distance is larger (some states are larger than countries) so miles mean less to us than knowing the time, post logistics.
Just to emphasize your point, California is larger than Great Britain. It takes about 14 hours and 30 minutes to go from San Diego to Crescent City, from the Mexican border to the state border of Oregon with a largely straight route. For comparison the route from Portsmouth England to Thurso Scotland is only 12 hours thirty minutes, and the route through Scotland is rather windy.
I got my journey time from google maps.
Basically a focaccia topped with tomato sauce, salami, green bell peppers and American cheese.
that ain't even actual amercian cheese (like burger joints use).. this is the individually-wrapped 'singles' garbage.
As a non-American, this individually-wrapped garbage is the only type of American cheese that exists over here
no wonder american cheese is shit on elsewhere.
i suppose you could go to mcdonalds or bk, order a cheeseburger with extra slices 'on the side' or something.
Ewwwwwwwwwwww
dear god i finally found worse pizza than st. louis style pizza.
I imagine that being served with a big fuck you energy
True facts I will never be able to purge from my accursed brain.
The married couple who owned the house in the 80's sitcom "Mr Belvedere" canonically met in Altoona. The premise of the sitcom was that a lower/middle class family ended up with a refined british butler who solved all their issues for them and brought them closer as a family. It was exactly how it sounds.
Petition to nuke Altoona as that pizza is a war crime?
Funny enough the city and especially the horseshoe curve were prime targets during the cold war.
