So, which of these pizzas would you order?
The Balanced Chuck: Pepperoni, peppercinis, Kalamata olives, Spam. (optional garlic)
Dave's Carnivore Delight: Sausage, Canadian bacon, pineapple, ex-cheese. (opt. chicken)
Ken's Salad: Marzano tomato, pepper blend, banana rings, basil. (opt. mushrooms)
No substitutions, please.

Unrelated but related, I saw a post yesterday about MLB playing in empty stadiums. One of the commenter said it would be like being a Marlins fan 😂
Hey guys, it's not a cut tomato on my pizza - the tomato sauce is made from San Marzano tomatoes, which are the best tomatoes in the world, for a chunky, slightly sweet base. Dave, you'll hear from my lawyer about this misrepresentation! hahaha
First of all- excellent podcast! I have to go with Dave's Delight. First off, pizza has to have sausage. Chuck got the pepperoni, but I'd be doing Dave's pineapple pickoff with all the rest of his toppings, and that would get really messy with those particular toppings. I have absolutely nothing good to say about the Ken offering, so I'll just leave it at that. I do like basil though.
Just wanna say that the podcast was very fun and I don't think any of us had any idea where it was going. And truth be told, I like to envision pizzas filled with every type of salty everything, but when it comes down to it I defer to my arterial health and would choose the salad on bread myself.
I think we're all winner's from last night's pizza draft. It was like the pgb version of the Tiger King - I couldn't stop listening, and it got crazier with each new pick ... as for the actual pizza, Chuck had me until Spam. Spam is good fried, in au gratin potatoes, as a sandwich (white bread and miracle whip), or even cubed and eaten like a snack - but I have to draw the line at pizza- it's a hard no. I think Ken choked (see what I did there) with his marzano tomato picked, and went down a weird artisanal pizza rabbit hole the landed in a bread salad (webmaster words). So I gotta go with Dave's pizza Good solid ingredients that compliment each other and don't try to be anything else but what they are - pizza toppings. But hold the chicken.
I have to go with Dave's pizza. I really like the choice of meats and extra cheese. Chuck's was close, but olives aren't my favorite and I'm skeptical about the spam.
My go to pizza didn't get a single topping selected. When I can afford to spend a little extra on pizza in college, I always get a bacon, onion, and jalapeno pizza and then I add Parmesan on top.
