April Blake, writing in the Cleveland Free Times, had a more negative view of the recipe. She considered it difficult to prepare, lacking crispiness in the crust, and more unhealthy than a regular pizza.^[5]^

Who would have thougt that essentially stacking six pizzas would be unhealthier than just eating one? 🤔

Caught me completely by surprise, made me rethink my entire existence. 6 > 1. Unreal!

Boston pizza is shit, and it's all made frozen in a factory somewhere else and flown to your city. Don't eat there unless you're a loser and you don't know how to heat your own frozen food. Even their nachos are atrocious which is something that by the laws of cooking physics should be next to impossible to fuck up.

Funny, because on of the places we used to eat at when we were in Boston in the early 00s (and kinda poor college students and retail workers) was California Pizza Kitchen. It was good early on, but went down hill over the years after.

Then we moved over the river and discovered Pinocchio’s and other closer spots that were awesome.

I’ve never heard of Boston Pizza before now.

Fun fact, "Boston Pizza" is a Canadian company. As is a restaurant chain called "New York Fries".

They were originally great! I remember going there when I was a kid in the 80s.

Then they were bought out and it immediately turned into the illusion of a restaurant with the food I described.

I refuse to go there now - it's just awful.

Real Boston pizza (chain) was Papa Gino’s anyway.

will never understand why people think frozen is automatically bad, frozen pizza is bog standard in nordic grocery stores and tastes great.

You'll "never understand" hey. We're talking about going to a sit-down restaurant and paying $23 for a $5 frozen pizza.

We need a new word for lasagna?
