Fascism comes from Italy, pizza also comes from Italy... Coincidence? I think not.

[-] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 27 points 3 months ago

The likelihood of a pizza takeaway in the UK being run by or even visited by an Italian is very low.

[-] ForgotAboutDre@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

In Scotland most chip shops and non-chain pizza takeaways are owned by Italians or their descendants. I can’t think of a chip shop near me that’s isn’t named after an Italian second name.

[-] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 4 points 3 months ago

Interesting. Where I am (small town in North West England) about half of the chip shops are combined chip shops/ Chinese take-aways and the others along with the general type take-aways (kebabs, pizzas and burgers) are run by Eastern Europeans.

The small number of Indian restaurants locally seem to be run by Indians.

[-] hellfire103@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

It's different again here in the north-east. Every chip shop is either named after the owner or founder, the name of whom is almost always English; or it's called what it is or named after where it is (e.g. The Chippy). Nowhere is combined, but the Indian and Chinese places usually do pizza, chips, chicken nuggets, and that sort of thing as well as whichever cuisine they specialise in.

Every Indian takeaway I know of is run by Indian people, but only a few Chinese takeaways are run by Chinese people around where I live.

As a nod to the history of the location, they should serve a Fascist Pizza. Now we just have to figure out what type of thickness and toppings it has.

[-] Squizzy@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago

Whatever the toppings, put all of them on one slice and then eat it before it goes out. Blame a foreigner for eating it.

[-] Rolando@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

You just get an empty box, and if you complain they beat you up.

[-] CountVon@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 months ago

Thick crust, with mayonnaise and slices of raw potato.

[-] mozz@mbin.grits.dev 10 points 3 months ago

It's just bread and cheese, no sauce. And the cheese is underdone. And all the toppings aren't on the pie; they're just pushed all together in one corner of the box, and someone stepped on them.

Ground fascist

[-] Skua@kbin.earth 3 points 3 months ago

Several twiglets tied together with spaghetti

[-] PhobosAnomaly@feddit.uk 3 points 3 months ago

There's a 2016-spec "gammon" joke there but I'm too slow today to come to with anything decent.

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Ash and tears are the toppings as a reminder of what you end up with when you go full fash

[-] niktemadur@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Pizza... is a fascist construct.

EDIT: pizzaism?

[-] cadekat@pawb.social 0 points 3 months ago

It'll be the best god damn pizza you've ever tasted, but if you ask for anything besides Hawaiian, you disappear forever.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 22 points 3 months ago

controversial & hot takeI prefer the pizza

[-] dch82@lemmy.zip 14 points 3 months ago

Pizza is more useful than fascism.

Pizza relieves hunger while fascism forces minorities to go hungry.

[-] qprimed@lemmy.ml 17 points 3 months ago

but does it have a basement? 🤔

[-] BlackLaZoR@kbin.run 2 points 3 months ago

You're asking if it's based?

[-] qprimed@lemmy.ml 11 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

refefence to the modern fascist/qannon preoccupation with pizza parlors and basements.

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Pretty sure this is a pizzagate joke

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

I think all fascism should be turned into pizza

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

You can just go to a Papa John’s if you want a pizza that tastes like empty promises

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Say what you want about Papa John or his business, but their garlic knots are elite

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

I am spoiled in NJ; can’t go ten feet without hitting a great small business pizza place with great garlic knots.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Dear diary,

Today marks the first time I have wanted to go to New Jersey.

Why do these guys so often have the same overall physical shape

[-] bolexforsoup@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 3 months ago

They’re all wearing similar outfits, it’s going to create some uniformity.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 9 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Word "uniforms" comes to my mind

[-] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 months ago

It’s always well-fed young white men who don’t do physical labor.

[-] mozz@mbin.grits.dev 5 points 3 months ago

It's also the energy. They're standing awkwardly, a little too straight but having trouble picking their chins all the way up, feet a little closer together than is comfortable.

It's an imitation of discipline and strength without the substance that would make it look natural.

[-] norimee@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

You can't deny that Pizza does make everything better.

[-] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 4 points 3 months ago

I was thinking of a joke about pizza not requiring armed guards, but I'm honestly just glad to see the change.

[-] earmuff@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 months ago

I think their rebrand is quite impressive.

[-] BoringHusband@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

The modern photo, like the old one, is out of focus. Why?

[-] ThePantser@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

So they lowered the threshold for entry

[-] Professorozone@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago

Doesn't look like the same place to me. More like two similar pictures of different places.

[-] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 months ago

How could it be any more similar? It's a difference of almost 90 years

[-] Professorozone@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Well I was trying to find one thing that was exactly the same. The ground is level in the top photo. The curve in the curb is different. One building has a step down in the doorway, but not the other. The wall between the two buildings appears to be wider in one photo. I'm not saying it isn't, I'm just saying as far as I'm concerned, it could just be two very similar structures at two different times.

[-] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 months ago

The ground doesn't look level at the top photo

But also remember that asphalt is removed and re-applied about once every 20 years. The asphalt was probably redone at least 3 times. There's a lot of possibility for slight variation over such a long period of time.

[-] Professorozone@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Um, that's a cobblestone street. And it goes on the ground. There is no asphalt involved in the construction of a cobblestone street. It's possible the ground has settled. But I call on you to show me anything in the two pictures that is identical. Again, not saying it isn't the same place, just that I don't see anything in the photos that I can see that something has simply aged, instead of completely changed.
