    Pizza can be fast food and healthy or fast food and it can be very unhealthy OR it can be slow cooked in a brick oven with spectacular fresh ingredients that may be high in calorie but constitutes a meal in and of itself. It basically depends how its cooked and what is on it.

    so slow cooked good; dominos bad?

    if I have dominios with the exact same ingredients as the brick over, which is "bad" and which is"good"...

    this argument is ridiculous...

    Who slow cooks pizza? Every recipe I've seen is cooked pretty quickly at a high temp, regardless of oven type.

    Well because then that becomes "fast" food and thus "bad", of course

    Deep dish? That usually takes at least half an hour (do not order when super hungry; can lead to hanger...).

    right so:

    > 10 minutes = fast = bad
    < 10 minutes = slow cooked= good

    I am glad we have the mathematical equation down now...

    I am amused that the OP never came back to clarify the purpose of the question...

    Ah, yes. I guess that's true. I don't care for deep dish so did not think of this.

    Why should she feel obligated to clarify her reasons for asking? It's not as if any of us is required to respond.

    Never said she was obligated... but she sparked a fun good 11 page thread... :)

    That's true you did not. I just don't understand the constant nagging for it. Honestly, I probably wouldn't answer either. It's a loaded question.

    Is eating clean pizza fast for detox, or are bad carbs ketogenic for "unclean" fast quality good? Am I right?

    Not gonna lie. 2 or 3 slices of pizza and a few stouts will cleanse you right up.

    Right now I want to, in this order, consume:

    Some *kitten*, overly-oily ceasar salad with a lagunitas IPA
    About 15 crazy-*kitten*-spicy buffalo wings with bleu cheese and two blind pig IPAs
    Four slices of Zachary's deep dish (sausage and mushroom, pesto, pepperoni and mushroom, and crazy combo) while killing a pint of Anchor Steam and a pint of Sierra Nevada pale ale.

    And after I've shat my brains out, probably do a big chewy cookie or something.

    Reality: sauteed kale, salmon filet and a baked potato with a glass of chardonnay. I mean, it's good, but FML anyway.

    I am still waiting on the "athlete diet"....

    I've been to dinner with plenty of athletes, their diet is pretty consistent with anyone elses. (I know you know that, but it's funny when someone plays that card)

    I know a certain endurance athlete on these forums who eats a bunch of stuff that people would say "athletes" do not eat...but he does....

    You should see the threads on the dedicated triathlon forums (not MFP). There are plenty of "how the hell do I get enough calories for all this?"

    The answer inevitably is stuff like "drink beer", "eat peanut butter and nutella from the jar", etc.

    We have found a recipe for Nutella cheesecake. My MIL is making for my husband and I after a half this Sunday. Neither of us are seriously athletic runners, but I'm in it to live a little.

    The pizza place a block from me has a nutella and strawberry pizza. Methinks I will be stopping in on my way home from work...

    slow cooked dominos with pepperoni, sausage, three kinds of cheeses ....

    slow cooked dominos with white sauce and vegies.

    yeah one is different than the other.

    yea, that was not my question..

    I said dominos (same toppings) vs another place (same toppings) slow cooked...and I am not talking taste.

    Certainly not the same, but I'm curious which you think is better from a healthy eating perspective.

    same toppings, same calories...the answer is neither, or negligible...

    unless you are saying that the vegetable toppings at dominos are less nutritious then somewhere else?
