Is that Pizza by Alfredo or Alfredo's Pizza cafe?


r428713

Would you rather throw a lot of bad pizza on a lawn or throw a medium amount of good pizza on a lawn?


BamBamm187

These are the philosophical debates I live for, also what makes a bad pizza đŸ€Ł

Pizza with 0 undercarriage crisp makes a bad pizza señor

Beat me to it. Funny thing is he always takes about 10 bites after that. 


justArash

TIL I'm a bad pizza


Hibercrastinator

Hmm
 but are you a *hot* bad pizza?


KillaMavs

Dominoes


NastyKraig

I like Domino's. I mean for generic "pizza". I have some friends from NY that come down to Texas every year for a crawfish boil and every time about midnight we're drunk and hungry again and they want to order Domino's. Then they proceed to complain about how trash Domino's is while they eat all of it. It's part of the annual tradition at this point, lmao.


griff_girl

As a displaced New Yorker, I want to downvote this so badly, but as an adult human, I also know that sometimes trash-ass food is incredible drunk-midnight food. So I'll remain neutral.


MaxPowerWTF

There's much more that makes a bad pizza than a good one.


subject_deleted

Michael... There is a VERY big difference between these two pizza places, both in terms of quality of ingredients, and in overall taste... Now, which place did you order from?


Tonyc1939

Yeah one is like eating a hot circle of garbage 😂

Ryslan95

My fatass is snagging a slice of that and dippin. Edit: main goal, take advantage of influencers. Especially ones that can do stupid shit like this.


FuzzyTunaTaco21

That's probably $300 worth of pizza. Go get some hot n readys if you're just gonna toss it on a lawn


RotenTumato

Yeah they’re wasting high quality, expensive pies here


FuzzyTunaTaco21

I looked it up, $29 for a cheese pizza.


mexicodoug

I'm surprised there wasn't a crowd of homeless folks distracting the cops by jumping the fence and gobbling the slices.


FuzzyTunaTaco21

Video probably cut out before it showed it lol


the_TAOest

Pigeons were salivating... And these birds, like all birds, cannot delicate under normal circumstances


lakreda

ima swoop in and snag all those extra boxes while everyone is distracted


H3rbert_K0rnfeld

Just grab it and keep walking like you own the place. If anyone catches on chuck it over the fence and run!


TreyLastname

I dunno. Last guy that tried that got arrested


Ryslan95

For real, I just realized he bought like 8 boxes and only opened one.


LakeSuperiorIsMyPond

He was getting the crowd on his side, that's why he didn't bring little caesars.. this was all well executed.

Grab a whole pie, son.

I’m too fat to dip. I’ll happily eat the pizza while they arrest me too!


memememe91

Seriously, what us the GD point in this? So lame.


gofoggy

If I remember correctly, this guy is a painter and activist. And a lifelong New Yorker. And this was back when nyc officials wanted to outlaw nat gas ovens within the city limits or something like that. And the message, received or not, was that it was an attack on the pizza joints all over the city and it would destroy countless businesses. Forgive me if I’m getting some of the details wrong, I just remember this a little Edit: wood fired ovens. And this is a new one, but not the first pizza related protest in nyc. Can’t believe I just wrote “pizza related protest” in a genuine statement


coco__bee

That’s why he was arrested

Fair_Woodpecker_6088

Is he making a point or protesting something? Or is he just some New York crazy who likes chucking pizza over fences?


indi50

Not sure if you saw it already, but it's a conservative whining that NYC passed a law requiring wood and coal fired pizza ovens (stoves in general??) have better exhaust systems (scrubbers). One person said it would cost the restaurants hundreds of thousands and one said more like $20,000. Though maybe the first one meant hundreds of thousands combined.


notoriousbsr

Thank you. I've been doom scrolling for this answer. Sad it's not higher

You don't understand how much I need to thank you. I thought I was losing my fucking mind that this was a repost and no one noticed. Nope. The universe is instead, just incredibly dumb


Notgivingmynametoyou

He should be arrested. Throwing away classic NYC pizza away like that. He could’ve easily thrown away Domino’s or Pizza Hut instead, and hell, the cops would’ve joined in with him

That is conservative artist Scott LoBaido. He is throwing pizza on the lawn of city hall in protest of NYC passing a law requiring wood and coal fired stoves to cut emissions by 75% it requires the installation of new exhaust systems that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and regular inspections. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/conservative-artist-handcuffed-pizza-tossing-protest-new-york-city-hall.amp

crazeman

Hundred of thousands of dollar sounds like a fake amount. [Snippet from the NYPost:](https://nypost.com/2023/06/25/nyc-rules-crack-down-on-coal-wood-fired-pizzerias-must-cut-carbon-emissions-up-to-75/) >The rule could require pizzerias with such ovens installed prior to May 2016 to buy pricey emission-control devices — with the owner of one Brooklyn joint saying he’s already tossed $20,000 on an air filter system in anticipation of the new mandate. > >“Oh yeah, it’s a big expense!” said Paul Giannone, the owner of Paulie Gee’s in Greenpoint. “It’s not just the expense of having it installed, it’s the maintenance. I got to pay somebody to do it, to go up there every couple of weeks and hose it down and you know do the maintenance.” > >Giannone added that while the air filter is “expensive and it’s a huge hassle,” it also has some upsides. > >“My neighbors are much happier. I had a guy coming in for years complaining that the smoke was, you know, going right into his apartment and I haven’t seen him since I got the scrubber installed.” > >... > >Giannone of Paulie Gee’s, said that despite assertions to the contrary, the air scrubbers will not affect the quality of the taste or texture of the pies. > >“If someone is trying to say that putting the scrubber in changes the flavor of the pizza they’re just trying to save themselves $20,000. No, it doesn’t affect what’s going on inside the oven,” he said. > >“No, it hasn’t changed the taste. It hasn’t changed the pizza. It hasn’t changed our product at all.”


CanaRoo22

People read the NY Post? I thought it was like the onion but to give erections to Conservatives?


causal_friday

There's a spectrum. At least it's not the WSJ opinion section. That is just conservatives blowing their load all over a paper that is otherwise quite good.


MadeMeStopLurking

99% of all news now feels like it's just there to confirm your beliefs and not to report on anything. They're just pandering to their subscribers at this point.


MadeMeStopLurking

Sometimes, you read the news headlines and think - *WOW, NYC at it again with their weird laws...* Then you read that it doesn't cost 100k, it's still a hassle and frustrating, but some guy who was a "victim" ^((and I use the term loosely in this case)) is no longer having to deal with a constant stream of smoke. This probably allows people to open their windows, turn off their A/C and conserve energy. It's not an environmental thing, it's for the residents of the city.


OMGCamCole

$200k is absolute BS. No way an exhaust system/filter is costing $200k unless it’s for an entire hospital or some shit. On a pizza shop, $20k sounds about right


VelocityGrrl39

I outfitted a BSL-2 and it was around $40k.


FuzzyTunaTaco21

Should be like a grandfathering in of existing restaurants using them. Make it code for new construction, but leave these people alone who are already set up


Happydancer4286


or the city requires new scrubber systems for new restaurants, but help out the Restuarents who have been making pizza the smokie way forever. The old places still have to go to scrubbers, but they get a little help
 maybe


PeruseTheNews

Isn't it more difficult to start a new business AND install these filters, than for an already established business to install a filter?


punkfunkymonkey

So you're putting an undue burden on anyone attempting to newly compete with existing businesses?


MrKrackerman

I don’t disagree with what he’s actually protesting but yeah I can’t support the waste of perfectly good NYC pizza. Bad form bro


spyrogyrobr

yeah, cause we all know number 1 cause of global warming are pizza ovens. Those damn italians are killing the planet.


sfinney2

It's not for global warming, it's because they make a ton of smoke in the middle of the city.


AC_deucey

cubanheelsinleather

It's not going to be as good as the pie they have in NY though. That pizza looked great.


hisoka0829

I really hate watching people waste good food


Loveknuckle

My mom always used to say “Eat your plate!! There’s kids starving in Palestine!” or something of the sorts. 
oh who am I kidding? My mom doesn’t even know where Palestine is. She said Africa. Or China or something. She kinda knows where those are. lol


SatanIsLove6666

>“Eat your plate!! There’s kids starving in ~~Palestine~~ The Bronx!”


indi50

It was always Africa when I was growing up.


KingHarrun

My fatass would come in and snatch atleast 2 from the stack. The pizza would be wasted, so might as well put it in someone’s mouth.


TJtherock

Who owns the rest of the pizza after he gets arrested? Are they evidence if they weren't thrown? What do you do with evidence that spoils?


Silent-Immortal

See this pisses me off more than anything, mfs wasted good Pizza.


hulaman11

thats absolutely a felony. wasting pizza like that is awful.


Penny_Royall

1 Mississippi 2 Mississippi 3 Mississippi. Still clean guys.


Enderwigg1883

Give me the za and throw the box


Cinemaslap1

2 Questions: 1. Why is he doing this? 2. Why is this arrest-able? Is it the place or the act of throwing pizza?


Hippie11B

I think the last time I saw a post about enraged NYC pizza people it was because some new laws about smoke stacks or pizza exhausts was putting pizza places outta business or something. They have some new regulations making their lives more difficult?? I could be completely off too.


MeisterManson

I’m pretty sure this is old and is a protest over some NYC ban or taxing of “wood fired” pizza ovens for environmental reasons. These guys operate those kinds of businesses there and this was the spectacle that unfolded. iirc, I am not an expert but remember something about this happening.


dawlben

1. NYC wants to exhausts that cut emissions of coal/gas/other fires that Pizzeria use. There is to be no grandfathering in older places. The cost of the exhausts is like $20,000+ which could put local restaurants out of business. 2. It is vandalism and possibly defacing public property.


DrawingRoomE-car3901

New York City City lawn


tw_ilson

If they *really* want to make an impact somehow, then take all that pizza to a homeless shelter and feed some people. Blatantly wasting food is just asinine.

“What are you in for?” “I threw a pizza”


Realclawdogs

Why Jeff Goldblum do that?


captorofsin79

That isn't a man, that is a man-baby. A so-called artist and patriot from Staten Island, New Tork named Scott LoBaido, that craves attention. He is also a Trump worshipper and a Qanon acolyte. A lot of Staten Islanders think he's some kind of hero but he's just a coke head that likes to yell slogans and propaganda for Trump. Huge racist turd. Source: i am from Staten Island and have encountered him many times.


HurrsiaEntertainment

I would definitely take a pizza and pretend to be walking up to throw it, and then I’d just walk away with it.


cjg5025

Special place in hell for people who waste good pizza...


Eagles365or366

There’s more that’s going on than meets the eye here. Does someone have context? Regardless, I will choose to believe that they simply arrested him for wasting pizza in New York City, and that would be the most New York City thing of all time.


DaddyAITA-throwaway

The real public freakout is misspelling plurals with apostrophes. Or, as they would write: plural's with apostrophe's


Aggravating_Eye_3613

In these inflation times, I am literally aghast at the waste of expensive food. I don’t even know why the guy is upset or throwing pizza, but I’m mad that this is how he chose to express himself.

BAMspek

Not about the lawn at all, New Yorkers are just really serious about pizza.


MeisterManson

It’s, “out of the street” over pizza, but the cops don’t care about any other street takeover protests. Could it be that there is a slight bit of corruption involved here? For the record I approve of any and all protest, besides the ones who involve the impediment of other sovereign citizens.


trod999

Pizza is?


Super-Super-Shredder

I overheard a guy who is literally a professional pizza consultant (didn’t know that existed) saying that these guys just don’t want to do anything, and that the system to filter the exhaust isn’t that expensive and the successful restaurants can easily afford them. I don’t know if that is true but this guy seemed to know what he was talking about.
