Not entirely sure what to do with this information

Impulse's guess the build pizza. Why does it look like that??

A funny thing I've noticed about responses to the Locked Tomb is that most people I talk to agree that the memes and references are kind of hit or miss for them, but no one can agree on which are the hits and which are the misses.

I've seen someone whose taste and opinions I really respect say, "Look, not all of the memes in these books work for me and I think overall there are too many of them, but None House, Left Grief is fucking gold," and someone else whose taste and opinions I really respect say, "Look, I don't hate all the memes in these books, but None House, Left Grief is just unforgivable I hate it."

In your opinion, does the pizza from the None With Left Beef meme count as a pizza? Or more of an open-faced sandwich? Or a secret third thing?

You know, I've been thinking about this, and it's tough to form a satisfying conclusion. (For reference, this is the original None Pizza With Left Beef, and it's just...very human that we have given this thing its own wikipedia page.)

My initial thought was that the dish begins as a pizza and then is reduced artificially, so it should remain a pizza -- ie, you are starting from a place of pizza and removing elements, but at the end of the day you are still ordering a pizza. On the other hand, the pizza is not cooked before you remove the ingredients, and if you remove, say, the flour from a muffin before baking without substituting anything else in its place, that is definitely no longer a muffin. Just because the pizza is unbaked dough topped with things doesn't mean those toppings aren't ingredients added before cooking. Mind you, you can't order a muffin to be delivered sans flour, and you can order a pizza without cheese. So this approach is really just chasing one's own tail.

I try to remember in this kind of debate that we are not really discussing objects or their fabrication as much as we are debating naming conventions (hence my "sandwich is not a noun, it is an adjective" stance). The word "pizza" is right there in the title -- we do call it "none pizza with left beef", so I think that in terms of the popular view we are going to have to consider it a pizza simply because by majority we call it one. But if we remove the title of it, and base categorization on the thing itself, we are faced with two questions:

If you were to look at none pizza with left beef without context, would you consider it a pizza?

If you didn't consider it a pizza, do we have a pre-existing category where it could be placed?

I don't think anyone is going to look at it and see a sandwich, whether or not we're prepared to categorize it as one. The originator refers to it as "tasteless bread with salty meat pellets". I think one could make a case for it being some kind of cracker, or perhaps a form of pita given that crackers aren't usually leavened. I think suggesting it might be a kind of nacho is relevant but also clearly the chaotic evil option and leads us into a whole "is it a nacho without cheese" area.

But in the end I think we should go with what Wikipedia calls it:

None pizza with left beef is not pizza nor sandwich nor pita nor nacho, but is "a pizza delivery experiment".
