At least I don't REHEAT leftover slices.
That, in my opinion, is extremely not a thing.

Usually go around 50/50 for me. Cold pizza is great, too. Not sure why reheating the leftover slices is a problem, though. Is quick -- usually 30-45 seconds is enough -- and still tasty.

I'm very, very happy that Canadian Dominos doesn't have the 'Pasta Breadbowl', because JAYSUS CRABST

... the breadbowls are quite possibly the only competitive advantage dominos has. Their pizza is middling as pizza joints go, and they don't have a price advantage. Those breadbowls are their saving grace these days. Which may have been your point and you're just glad they're not in your area because you'd eat them too much, but anyway.

Also they're delicious. Not just dominos ones, mind, but in general. Breadbowls are amazing. Hell, pizza itself is basically breadplate. Which broadly explains their grandeur. There are few things in the culinary world as delightful as tableware you eat.

Nothin' wrong with a little oxidized iron, mate. Drink up!

... more seriously, any idea why?

I prefer thick pizzas.

Thin ones hurt my mouth. :v Too crunchy.

There's non-crunchy thin ones, too, for what it's worth. Or at least you can just not overcook the thin ones to the point the crust goes hard. Had some just recently, was pretty good.

And @FD: The one true pizza is the one going in my mouth. Its nature is irrelevant, pizza truth is in consumption not contemplation or construction. There is no too thick or too thin, no too sweet or too bitter, no too much or too little cheese, etc., etc., etc. Perfection is digestion. These are the facts. No more guessing. Morpizzba.

So no one whose opinion on the subject of pizza actually matters :V

LOL! Americans have an opinion on pizzas! How droll.

Not quite. We just kinda' consume all of them with equal appreciation. Can't be picky when you're eating the biomass equivalent of europe in pizza on a yearly basis.

It's nice to know that the US pizza industry has a GDP larger than many countries :V

This one was intended to be microwaved -- box pretty much explicitly said, "Don't cook this anywhere else." Note the Lean Cuisine. They tend to do frozen dinners ostensibly for people trying to diet. Someone else bought it for folks to try, and it had been in the freezer door for... a while. Months.

As for more generally, there was a period where a microwave has the only cooking method I had comfortable access to, and I still wanted to eat pizza occasionally (well, and not eat out, which is fuckoff overpriced). Since, well, it's quicker, easier, and generates less cookery to be cleaned than cooking in the oven. Do cook in the oven more often than not, (because yeah, it's better, and a bit easier to melt cheese and add ingredients and whatnot) but occasionally I get the hankering.

Totino's, by the way, is what I eventually settled on, which had bonus points for being just about the cheapest pizza on the market and the one that comes out least terrible when microwaved. Nuke for about six minutes, depending on oven strength. Comes out with a consistency roughly that of melted cheese (hence my offhand name for it is "melty pizza"), except maybe some crunchy-ish parts at the center. Very good for mixing with other things due to the texture (it's my primary other ingredient for mac&cheese&pizza, ferex), also pretty edible with some extra cheese and lemon pepper (and whatever else is on hand). It is pretty much the worst way to cook pizza, but it's the best option of the worst, that I've found. In that it's actually pretty edible instead of being... not.

... or just get along with your parent(s). Also a fairly viable strategy for enjoyable road trips.

In wtf news, today I have cooked the saddest pizza I've ever seen, and that's with a period of time in which I was trying basically all pizzas purchasable within easy driving range trying to find one that microwaved decently. Lean Cuisine's "vegetarian" pizza (which... isn't. It's a cheese pizza.). Looks like it's mostly cardboard, feels like it's mostly cardboard, functions like it's mostly cardboard. Lost around an eighth of it trying to pry it off the cooking surface included. It's like a little depressed rectangle of pseudo-pizza that just wants to lay down, go to sleep, and stop trying to be food.

Doesn't actually taste that bad for microwave-intended pizza, though, and for all the texture on the hands is terrible and cardboardy the texture in the mouth is alright, if a bit crunchy on the edges. It's the ugliest pizza that could, I guess.
