3. I used to frequent a pizza shop where I knew the owners.

They really select their cheeses for certain qualities.

They may get their Mozzarella from one company and their Ricotta or Provolone from another but they are selecting the best cheese for the mix. Always a bit oily for me and I always use napkins to absorb the excess grease, but there is a reason they choose the cheeses they use (flavor). I appreciate their attention to detail.

4. Life is too short to eat greasy pizza.

We had a local place that made great pizza and not greasy at all. Of course it helps if they use good cheese and you don't eat meat.

6. While opinions vary, many will tell you that the best cheeses

with the best flavor, produce the most grease. Certainly each person should choose whatever they want, but as one who has worked in pizza places in NYC for many years, the expensive cheeses certainly produce a lot of grease. I am of the opinion that the better cheeses do produce more grease, but everyone whould eat what they like best. Buyt the quality of the cheese has nothing to do with the grease. some of the highest quality cheeses produce a lot of grease on pizza. If you do not like it, you can certainly buy high quality low fat cheese that does not.

Also, for pizza, the greasier the better for me.

5. I learned to do that at a Weight Watchers meeting

saves a lot of calories. So, let 'em roll those eyes.

7. I hate food nazis almost as much as I hate Illinois nazis.

If you want to blot your pizza, you go ahead and do it.

If I want to put ketchup on a hot dog I do it.

Fuck 'em.

8. I have no doubt it works

but it just ain't pizza if you don't have a thin stream of bright orange grease running down your arm and leaping off your elbow.



My wife blots hers though. It's OK - I squeeze her greasy napkin onto my pizza.

10. I remember while growing up Down South...

There was a really good truck stop with home-cookin' that would add extra grease for $0.25!

11. When I worked in a lab, we used to joke about doing the extraction used for

testing fats & oils, when we were blotting the excess grease off the all you can eat pizza buffet pizza...

Works better than a paper towel.
