i'm surprised that Balut wasn't number one and that a Canadian layered pizza was in the top 5. obviously "authenticity" played into a lot of the ratings.

- account42 4y agoThe "Pizza Cake" looks like what someone who heard of deep dish pizza without actually knowing how its made might cook up. Somewhat unorthodox, perhaps even "stupid food" but I don't see why the end result wouldn't be tasty to most people who like pizza. How it made it to #3 is baffling. The author/raters also seem to have something against anis, wtf.
- _whiteCaps_ 4y agoI'm Canadian, and I've never heard of pizza cake before. It was a one time thing by a chain restaurant? Doesn't really fit in the same category as lutefisk.
- gwill 4y agohaven't heard of it either. by the picture i thought it was chicago style deep dish at first and thought that fitting as there is a lot of gatekeeping around it. also that looks a lot more appetizing than Altoona-hotel pizza.
- technothrasher 4y agoIt was apparently a Boston Pizza thing. Not hanging out that much in Canada, I'd never heard of Boston Pizza until recently. But it was obvious immediately that 1) While Boston Pizza seems to be based on Greek style pizza from my native New England, it has drifted enough that it's not really that similar, and 2) People generally find Boston Pizza to be poor based on the reviews.
- wk_end 4y agoBoston Pizza is to pizza what Cheesecake Factory is to cheesecake. It's not great pizza or even good pizza that they serve there (in addition to a million other things), but it's fine for what it is. It's definitely not lutefisk. Silly list, a real demonstration of the limitations of crowdsourced, data generated content.
