I tried this while I was working in Altoona for a few days. It’s an abomination and those people should be shamed.

This reminds me of cafeteria pizza at my low-budget elementary school. A rectangular crust of something that seemed like it was supposed to be an english muffin, covered with weirdly sweet and dry pizza sauce, topped with some pepperoni and frozen veg with grated cheese from a 20-lb bag over that.
Little did I know that being nowhere near Altoona, that’s what I was eating.

The article clearly states that it’s really just from one location in town and a few others started making it after that place burned down.
Regardless, I’m okay with punishing the entire town for this.

I’d rather know where NOT to get it.
They lost me with the American cheese.
