They're just deconstructed pizza. Completely retarded

My ex used to order a Little Caesar's plain, cheese pizza and cheesy bread (which, if you don't know, is just a slightly thicker pizza dough with the same cheese used on the pizzas melted on top). She would ask for a side container of the marinara sauce, which was just the same sauce that they put on the pizza.

She'd put both on her plate and take a bite of pizza, then dip part of the cheesy bread in the sauce and bite that, then return to the pizza.

I tried to explain that this was like eating a ham and swiss sandwich (no condiments) with a side of crackers topped with ham and swiss. She didn't understand how that was an apt analogy and she doesn't understand why we broke up, either.

I helped her with grocery shopping, a few times, so she wouldn't have to go out during quarantine. Her grocery lists were 80% candy and I had to subtly make suggestions of actual food.

She's surprisingly slim, too. God knows how that works.

>> No.14222202

>>14219782
I'm going to disagree with >>14219821 and >>14220136. I won't put gravy on my bread, but, if there's gravy left on my plate after I finish the turkey and potatoes, you can bet that I'll be sopping it up with my roll.

On the other hand, who pairs gravy with pizza? Gravy isn't even a faux Italian thing. They'd be better off offering some kind of pesto dip or olive oil and a grated cheese (parmesan or asiago or something). That would be a more appropriate pairing and wouldn't be as redundant as something tomato-based.

savoury breadsticks are alright if you mix in a bunch of extra garlic and generic italian seasoning, pile on a bunch of cheese and serve them with olive oil or marinara to dip.

sweet breadsticks are also a point, mix in a bunch of extra sugar, and some cinnamon and boom, you got yourself a tasty dessert.
