Pizza and Grease

How many of you pizza lovers always wipe the grease off of your pizza before you eat it? I personally will use a napkin or two to take off the grease on my pizza. I do not like it since it isn't all that healthy. So, do you take the grease off?

It is my opinion that the grease is the best part of eating pizza, but that is only my opinion and doesn't mean yours isn't good also.

That could be one way to gain weight but really not the best way. I would recommend sticking with a high carb diet. Eat a bunch of nuts and grains. Also work out and you will add on muscle weight.

I have heard by the diet gurus that if you must have pizza have thin crust and wipe off the grease before you eat it. My 13yo daughter always tamps her pizza with a napkin before she eats it. I do not, however. I love my pizza too much. :)

Yes, I have seen many women do that to their pizza. I do it most of the time, other times, it does not bother me.

I must admit I have never thought of doing this. I have never even seen anyone doing this. I eat my pizza the way it comes. It really depends on where you get your pizza as to how much grease is on it. I make my own a lot so I don't have to worry about that.

I agree it depends where you get your pizza. The other night, I went to a pizza place I have never been to before. Their pizza was loaded with grease. It was the worst pizza I have ever had.

Alot of my friends actually do that but I do something totally different. I take my crust and dip it in the greese so that my crust has flavor. I don't really like crust so by giving it that extra little bit of flavor I will eat it. I don't know why people take it off but I like pizza in all of it's greasy glory.

I am not a crust lover at all and I do what you do, but not all the time.

Ive seen most of my friends do this especially if the pizza is really greasy. But to be honest, I never really cared if it was greasy or not. I just eat the pizza as it is :)

Yes I agree to that the grease is not healthy at all.But I think that is good enough to have it sometimes.

We get very little or no cheese on our pizza so there's no grease.

i usually ungrease my pizza crust also with table napkins or paper towel. even if i ordered mixed vegetable pizza still the crust might get oily from the cheese & other ingredients like olive oil too. most preferred pizza is homemade type so that we know what we are eating & we can prepare it very great & healthy!

I usually find that the chef knows best. If you go to a restaurant and the chefs makes greasy pizza, then it is probably supposed to be that way. It is like when someone goes to a steak restaurant and orders a Filet well done.

Sometimes i do but only if there's a ton of grease on it, otherwise i just eat it like that.
