I live in Ohio and have no idea what Ohio-valley style Pizza is. Is that a thing? Is this a joke? Am I a joke to you? (I mean, it's justifiable. I live in Ohio after all)

The pizza is known for its distinctive cold toppings which are added after the pizza is cooked. It was nicknamed "The Poor Man's Cheesecake" in the 1940s. In 2018, DiCarlo said he did not remember why the pizza was originally prepared that way but speculated that it may have been to avoid burning the toppings. The style became a part of local cuisine in Ohio and West Virginia, and was replicated by several other chains. However, its method of preparation is polarizing, and it has been negatively compared to Lunchables.

🤣😂🤣

Aight gotta be a culture that practically eats raw dough [pizza] too then

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The crust is baked like normal, it’s just that the toppings are added afterwards. The comparison to lunchables is apt though, I’d only recommend it if you require pizza and the only other choices offer St Louis or Altoona styles.

[–] brbposting 1 points 10 months ago

Oh yeah - there’s gotta be some other culture* out there that eats raw dough :)

It looks like if an adult was banned from buying Lunchables pizza, but still wanted that same disappointment.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Except the crust and sauce are hot, which makes the cheese warm.

I say don't knock it until you try it. I love it

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Mmm, warm cheese….. lol, no thank you.

That made my stomach hurt looking at it

Never heard of Steubenville, but I’m going to blame this war crime on the people of Pittsburgh nearby. That sounds like some Pittsburgh bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Steubenville has more than one Wikipedia page, and not all press is good press.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Yeah immediately after seeing it was from Steubenville I remembered that… Absolute hellhole

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

While it didn’t originate there, it did make its way to Pittsburgh before going westward

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Ok that looks terrible especially compared to the Dayton style that’s right nearby.

Steubenville has produced nothing but disappointment and tragedy

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Wait… Dayton style?

This is getting out of hand. Now there's two of them!

Also, what's Dayton style? If it came from the Oregon District it might actually be good

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

It’s cassanos. Marion’s would also fall under it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Steubenville

I mean, that says it all right there. That's not a pizza style, that's a war crime

Okay, anyone that got this far and isn't from the area, Steubenville is Pittsburgh lite. They speak Yinzer, call the above abomination "cuisine", and generally suffer from generational lead poisoning. Also, the "Ohio Valley" isn't some canyon in Ohio (although I'd encourage you to visit the Hocking Hills sometime, it's quite beautiful, with several breathtaking ravines). No, the Ohio Valley refers to both the basin of the Ohio River particularly and more broadly the geographic region that feeds the Ohio River. That means the "Ohio Valley" stretches as far as Tennessee lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Only in… nah, I shan’t say it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

It oddly reminds me of something I had in Florence, Italy in the late '90s. I didn't speak Italian more than enough to order food (though I could get by in French for the most part for the simple interactions I was doing), so I don't know exactly what it was, but it looked like what is in that wiki. I grew up in Ohio but never had that style (which I think is more in the eastern part of the state).

[–] mindbleach 1 points 10 months ago

Two slices of pizza

Disagree.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

I thought Ohio pizza was just square cut and thin crust which is hardly a style. I've been here my whole life and never had that cold pizza style but it might actually be good...or reheat in the oven nicely ha
