That makes no sense at all.

Good pizza is just as greasy as bad pizza.

By nature a pizza is greasy due to all of the melted cheese.

That’s like saying a good burger isn’t greasy. Of course it’s going to be greasy.

I've had good cheesy pizzas that have less grease. If you pick up the pizza and the bottom of the box is damp it's too greasy.

What do you consider “good” pizza?

I’ve made a lot of pizza in my day and it’s damn near impossible to avoid grease.

It comes from the pepperoni and cheese and anything else fatty that you top it with.

Are you saying good pizza is made with ingredients that don’t have fatty grease? You’d have to use low fat cheese, etc. To me that isn’t “good” pizza.

As for pizzas I get from restaurants I’ve never had one that didn’t have at least some grease in the pizza box. This is coming from someone that lives in the NY area where pretty much all pizza there is gourmet authentic pizza and not franchise pizza like dominos.

I think our definitions of good pizza are way different.

Good pizza should have some grease to it, otherwise the ingredients are questionable.

Literally had pizzas with these ingredients that weren't too oily and greasy. It's possible and tastes so much better.

Both statements are entirely valid, as neither pizza nor burgers require meat or cheese.

Good point but if you work in a pizza restaurant you’ll realize almost NO ONE orders pizza without cheese. There is the very rare order it happens but it’s extremely rare.

So technically you are right but in practicality you are way off.

However with a burger it’s the meat that is greasy. Not so much the cheese. So unless you’re having a non-beef burger (not really a burger) it’s going to be greasy no matter what you put on it.

True, restaurant/delivery pizza - even vegan options - are almost universally super oily.

Non-meat burgers are most definitely burgers, and do have the benefits of not only having more variety, but are easily made to be actually healthy if desired.
