The pizza she brought was square. (Little Caesar's deep dish.) I was
actually disappointed. Square pizza is not as good or as fun to eat.
Why is that?

I's certainly fun to watch pizza makers tossing the circular dough, just
like I used to like watching the chef making noodles by hand by
stretching the paste in a Pho restaurant.

Square pizza is traditional in Detroit, where Little Caesar's originated.
And the first restaurant to serve pizza in Chicago sold rectangular pizza.

It's because every piece of pizza needs an outside edge. With
rectangular cakes, I want in inside piece - but with pizza, I'd always
a piece of the outside edge on mine.

Because it came from Little Caesar's instead of a good pizza place.

We like rectangular pizza as in a halved and split loaf of French Bread from Kroger. Makes 4 nice pizzas made like you like em. Got to have everything on it including pickled japs and anchovies to get me interested. Enough food for a couple of seasoned citizens to knack on it for two days and much cheaper than store bought and way less manuel labor than making your own dough balls. The round shapes are not natural. Sorry.

It's not the shape. It's the ingredients.

Square pizza is Sicilian... served at The L & B Spumoni
Gardens in Brooklyn, the best pizza on the planet... all the rest is
dreck.

Ding! I had a piece of their $5 gem a month ago (or two). I'm just getting over it. Crappy pizza, though.

I like the SF route.

lol... it is cheap! I actually kinda like the $5 pizza pizza once in a
while... Though Clifton's super veggie here is the best pizza I have
ever had. Luckily, there are still quite a few places here thriving
that are not chains.

The benighted middle regions don't count. If the state doesn't have
ocean frontage, it's ignorable.

It's also the shape. Square or rectangular food can't be cooked as
evenly as round food.

My nephew was in town this past week and when we went out to dinner, his
wife asked the waiter whether the kids pizza was round or square. Yes,
ingredients are important but the shape has some impact on taste...
I've been craving a round pizza since eating the square one.

One of the most popular pizza places in the city where I grew up made
rectangular pizza. They weren't a chain, so unless you lived here,
you'd probably not have heard of it. I know they tossed their crust and
then just shaped it from a circle to a rectangle before topping and
baking it. I miss that place for pizza. The neat thing about them was
that their phone number was their name. No one ever forgot how to call
ahead for a pickup.

Where is it, do they have a web site?

I would still eat L & B pizza but it's too far away.

Nonsense. So why is most bakeware square/rectangular?
