Two Mathias, one cup.
Seriously? Pretentious because instead of a grease dripping $5 pizza I'd rather spend $7 and make it at home, healthier, tastier, and flat out better?
whoa whoa there Miss Harrisburg. Don't even begin to talk to me about good food. There isn't a quality restaurant in central PA until you hit Philadelphia.
No, just your overall attitude.

Can still make good food, and your opinion on how the shittiest of food is acceptable fare and anyone who thinks different is a snob is a bit... silly?

Isn't pizza bad for you by definition?
Tons of carbs, Check
Tons of cheese, Check
Tons of white flour, Check
Lots of salt, Check
Lots of oil, Check
I mean sure, you can make a something with some kind of bean curd crust and use shaved carrots instead instead of cheese and then lightly roast it in your kiln that you use to make environmentally friendly earthware. But that's no pizza.
Not that I have anything against eating healthy. People should eat healthy. But trying to make unhealthy comfort food healthy is just dumb. There's so many better ways to eat healthy food than to try and disguise it as comfort food. Foods like that creep me out.
Except for Toffuti and Vegitas. Those are remarkably tasty.

It's acceptable fare for a lot of people, actually. Does that make you better than them? Cause that's what you're coming off with...
I don't think "I don't like the same food as you and here's why" equates to "I don't like the same food as you because I'm pretentious and better than you, now excuse me while I eat some of this caviar and sip some champagne from my fine crystal glass, served by a beautiful virgin, which is of course the only way I accept it. Ah, tastes like judging others."
In fact everyone was just talking about why they didn't like $5 pizza. It wasn't like "I curse you for enjoying something I do not enjoy!" Nobody was uncivil until you called people foodie assholes.

I was wondering when you were going to break down and post your picture again.

It's interesting how you just leap on people for liking healthier foods with accusations like that. What are you trying to hide here?

Well, thing is that there are foodies and then there are foodies. I know a lot of people who love to eat good food, and love to cook good food. And there ARE a lot of other people that love to show other people that they are superior to them based more on what they put in their mouth than what comes out of it.
A lot of the vegans I knew back in my hippy college days were like that. I have no idea if this applys here though because:

Nothing wrong with cheese or oil. Homemade pizza doesn't have an unhealthy amount of salt and can be made with a whole wheat crust (which I grew up with and love.) No, pizza isn't bad for you by definition.

I love whole wheat crust at home too. It has so much flavor to it.

Oh my, detective wonderfulperson is on the case...
It's interesting how when I mentioned there are no good quality places in Harrisburg; you blindly accepted. There are tons of good places to eat in central PA.
I just don't like the pretentiousness and snobbishness of scoffing at cheap food.
edit: Name-calling verboten.

Is Cici's Pizza any good? I've always been a little wary of a buffet type place that is less than 5 dollars.
Taking the other side of the debate, (again, no, I don't think I'm better than people who live off freezer meals and coke) shouldn't we try to encourage better quality food for everyone? Bad food sucks. Good food's great! Everyone should enjoy good food if they have the chance! (and they do, because cooking is not hard, or expensive, some people are just lazy as get out).

I don't pretend to have eaten at every place and I don't believe you will have either. It's a useless point since I know a couple places I like. As for cheap food, I'm pretty sure we were all talking about crap food. I'm sorry you don't know the difference.
Now do let me know when you're done blindly flailing in whatever rage you've found yourself.

That coupon is old. I don't think they're under 5 dollars any more. But they're still cheap as hell. As for pizza quality, it varies. Some of their specialty pizzas, like the mac & cheese pizza, the chicken club pizza, or philly cheesesteak pizza aren't all that bad. But bear in mind, the atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired. It basically feels like a very downsized Chuck E Cheese's with no live show, one tiny room of games and a couple TVs. There will be kids everywhere, they will be loud.
Plus, you know what they say - Pizza is kinda like sex. Even when it's bad, it's still pretty good.
That said, most of their varieties that have tomato sauce on it gives me acid reflux.
It's a great place to take kids for a birthday gathering, cheap and always food available. Not such a great place to have anything that could loosely be called pizza. I've always found it tasteless, slightly under-cooked (I like crisp thin crust, their's isn't) but perfect to feed a youth group or baseball/football/softball team.

Well, I'd likely skip it anyway. I actually hate buffets. Although I do love a giant salad bar. We went to a Brazilian restaurant and the salad bar was a beautiful thing to behold.

The Cici's salad bar is not giant, fair warning. I don't even think it's more than 4 feet long.
