First of all, the title of this post is incredibly clever. Carb-bomb, get it? Like car-bomb? I could have spelled it CarbOmb but I thought that might be confusing. Might that have been confusing?Anyway, tonight I was finishing the finishing touches on my bookshelf and I decided to scurry out for pizza. “Two slices,” I said to the counterman, pointing to what looked like normal pizza. He nodded and shoved two slices into the oven.After I paid and they yelled out “two slices!” I went to pick it up and put it on the table. As I was adjusting my straw, a man sitting next to me said: “What is that on your pizza?”I looked down:
There was pasta on my pizza!”Pasta,” I said to the man. “There’s pasta on my pizza.””That’s what it looked like,” he responded, contented.I stared down. “That’s a lot of carbs,” I said outloud. The man ignored me.The pizza, for the record, was tasty—but one slice would have been sufficient. Halfway through the second slice, I was fuller than I wanted to be. And I had pie waiting.

There’s a place in Toronto called Amato’s, where they have a pizza called the Lucille, or something. there’s potatoes on it, big potato wedges.
But carbs are good! :OThough, I’ve never seen pasta on pizza before. Where did you go for pizza? I’m not really familiar with pizza in Manhattan(I’m a Brooklyn boy), so perhaps it’s a regular topping there? 😀
oh, dude! I did not even see the pasta! i thought it was some good chunky cheese. nice!
In North-Italy there is even pizza with frenchfries…. But it is meant only for the young children of the tourists coming from Germany… As a first “getting-to-know” with Italian cousine… When they are adults, they have worked up their way to eating spaghetti with a fork and a spoon…..
In Britain, take-away pizza places tend to do a pizza with chips (fries) as part of the topping. It’s called a “London” pizza. I have to say I’ve never quite understood the point of it, though maybe that’s odd, as I wouldn’t consider it odd for someone to have a pizza with a side order of chips. Hmm.
There’s a place in Portland (OR) called Pizza Schmizza that has pizza with spaghetti on it (yours looks like penne to me). It looks gross, and I don’t understand the concept.
I have had pizza with pasta on it several times – at DeCola’s on Route 31 in Warren County (Washington, NJ) and in some other restaurants around NJ. I actually like it. It is interesting. When I am not behaving (not watching my carbs that well), I will enjoy a slice with pasta on it. I’ve seen it with spaghetti on it (Frank’s in the ITC shopping area on Route 46) and also with Penne on it.I can’t believe you didn’t notice it before you paid for it. Next time look closer at your pizza…RisaG
