People on Twitter are making fun of one of Seattle's favorite pizzerias

After the year we’ve all had, nothing surprises us anymore. At least, that’s what we thought before the official Twitter account of New Jersey started making fun of one of Seattle’s most-loved pizza spots.

Yes, you read that right: the Twitterverse is currently coming after Seattle’s Breezy Town Pizza for not reaching the standards they’re used to.

The whole pizza match began when Justin Boldaji shared the following tweet, simply stating that “Windy City pizza in Seattle has changed my life.”

He included an image of the pizza, which is where things went awry.

This was actually from @BreezyTownPizza which I thought was the same thing as Windy City which it is but apparently it’s enough of its own thing to have its own Twitter account anyway my apologies to breezy town they do amazing pies fuck w them

Multiple Twitter users replied to the tweet, many commenting that the pizza was way too burnt.

Others commented on the pepperoni.

I’m a human and have eaten food for many years. That pepperoni looks like it was pulled out of fucking Chernobyl.

The post went so viral that even notable Twitter accounts started poking fun at Breezy Town, including DiGiorno and the official Twitter account of New Jersey.

For the worse?

The reactions got so heated that Breezy Town Pizza made a thread addressing the most common reactions. Here’s what they had to say:

• It’s the Maillard browning reaction. Before you say “it’s not brown!, it’s black!.” Well, so is a good beef brisket, a perfectly crusted smash burger, the socarrat of a good paella, etc. If you’ve had Detroit-style pizza or Pequod’s pizza, our cheese edge looks normal.

2. “The pepperoni is full of grease / burnt / upside down!”

— Breezy Town Pizza (@BreezyTownPizza) March 8, 2021

You will see the same thing on a Prince St Pizza or any Detroit pepperoni slice. If you ordered pepperoni and are upset that it’s greasy, you might want to re-evaluate what you’re ordering. Fat is flavor. Pizza isn’t a low-fat food.

3. “That’s not Chicago-style pizza! This (inserts photo here) is! And I know, because I lived-in Chicago or my dad was the Empire carpet guy and/or Eagle Man or I was at O’Hare once.”

— Breezy Town Pizza (@BreezyTownPizza) March 8, 2021

find at Uno’s, Lou Malnati’s, or Giordano’s. The closest relative of our pizza in Chicago is @PequodsPizza. If you think there’s only one style of Chicago pizza, or even only one style of deep Chicago pizza, you’re missing out on a lot of the variety that makes my hometown great.

The pizza restaurant even responded to New Jersey, saying: “We see you trying to gatekeep pizza, so we made a riff on carbonara to upset Italian grandmothers.”

Hey @NJGov, we see you trying to gatekeep pizza, so we made a riff on carbonara to upset Italian grandmothers.

Gates Open, Peas Come In!

The Twitter account of New Jersey has not yet responded to the tweet, so we call that a win for Breezy Town Pizza in our books.

For the record, we’d like to disagree with New Jersey and the Breezy Town haters. Their pizza is delicious, and you should really consider ordering some for dinner tonight and then joining in on the debate.
