@dev whoever is answering yes to this lives on a much smaller planet than I do

@ricci @dev that was my first reaction, but then someone pointed out to me that Pittsburgh is only about 30 miles from the border with Ohio which is clearly in the midwest so now I am confused

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohio_Valley-style_pizza

@ricci @dev it is also in the Ohio Valley which means I have to link this:

Ohio Valley-style pizza - Wikipedia

@ricci @dev when my dad was born (not too far away on the Ohio side), this was the only pizza available in Ohio, and it had just been introduced.

This might explain why my grandmother never ordered a pizza delivery in her life.

@ricci @dev (she also never used an ATM or a computer, and only reluctantly got a touchtone phone a few years before she died)

@dan @ricci @dev like they just no shit don't bake the toppings? for real? it's hard to see how this can be something people would eat

@regehr @ricci @dev I have never actually tried it myself! but yes, not even the cheese is cooked

@dan @ricci @dev I posted the wikipedia link to a local group and a friend has totally been to "Steubenville" -- which sounds made up AF but I guess exists -- and has eaten this food

@dan @ricci @dev she said "It's legit not great, but it's a legend there"

@dan @ricci @dev "Steubenville" is near "Follansbee", "Weems", "Alikanna", "Pottery Addition", and "Weirton". this is like reading the map from a poorly done fantasy novel
