Over 70's: Do you remember your first pizza?

My grandma refused to eat or even taste pizza.

I smoke a pizza every now and then. Oh, and in a smoker just in case someone gets the wrong idea.

I'm not sure my grandma could pronounce it.

The first Hawaiian Pizza with Canadian Bacon, was a revelation of just how good food could be. Many may say this is an abomination. It isn't. Its the connection of two different cultures that makes something better. Extraordinary better.

Good thing you clarified that I can see one all rolled up. Oregano, right!!

Never been a fan on Pizza and wouldn't remember the first time I tried it, however I do like a decent Hawaiian pizza with heaps of ham, cheese and pineapple. The ones you buy are so thinly spread it puts me off buying them.

Oh my, box pizza is what we had when I was young. We just didn’t eat out.

That's what we primarily ate, cooked for years on a cookie sheet; then one Christmas my mother received a pizza stone. That one change, the surface it is cooked on, took the taste and texture of the box pizza to new heights. I think my mother loved that stone more than she loves me, you should have seen her tears when it broke.

I'm only 50, but I remember when my dad (currently 73) got served pizza for the 1st time that my mom made in the early 1980's back home in Norway, he got disappointed after she'd put oregano on it.........he left the table mumbling "Taste like pencil shavings........"

We had a pizza pie that my aunt brought up to the house, she had married one of them there italians.
They used to come up to the farm frequently when my brothers and sisters were young and actually till my
mother died. Then they came up to my place, but to get back to the subject at hand.
The pizza pie that she introduced us to was a moderately thin crust in a regular pie pan,
it had lots of tomatoes and tomato sauce along with lots of meat cheese along with some vegetables.
I never had what is considered normal pizza till after I was in the Marines and out in town.
So that would have been late 1970 or early 71.

Bird, I remember in HS, guys would down a large pizza by themselves.

Geeze, my wife and I could eat an entire large Godfather's pizza with sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, and onions and a pitcher of beer until around age 40. Now we're lucky eat two pieces and a small mug.

Metabolism is cruel.
