These Are the Worst Pizzas in America
Melted cheese recently melted the Internet, when Pizza Hut introduced their latest artery-clogging frankenfood, the 15 Hot Dog Bites piea large, one-topping pizza with pigs-in-a-blanket backed into the crust. "I tried it and survived," wrote one taste-tester online. This, about a food our Italian ancestors imagined would be a low-cal appetizer. Unfortunately, Pizza Hut isn't alone in offering pies that better resemble manhole covers than Neapolitan delicacies. At most popular restaurants and in frozen food aisles, thin, healthy crusts have gotten thicker, more bloated with cheap carb calories. Toppings have gotten gimmicky, so healthy mozzarella and tomato sauces are sometimes replaced with things like burger meat, ziti or chicken fingers. And serving sizesespecially for "individual" pizzashave taken these pies to a new level of caloric callousness. How bad is it? The editors of Eat This, Not That! magazine researched every pie in America and determined the absolute worst for your health and waistline.
