I was watching old Chris Hansen stuff last night and I’d like to talk about pizza

Specifically the pizza Jeff Sokol brought in his episode of Hansen Vs Predator.

You’ll notice he brings a pizza to his meeting with the 13-year-old, as she requested. A pepperoni pizza and some orange juice. That is the best looking pizza I’ve ever seen. Hands down, no question about it, that pizza looks absolutely delicious. And this was in southwest Connecticut, and I’ve just moved from Connecticut, and I’ll likely return for a visit one day and I’d really love to get that pizza.

But they blurred the box.

Fortunately, some other severely neurodivergent man also badly wanted to try the pizza, so he sussed out where it was from somehow despite living in another state, 3-4 hours away. He uploaded a video of him getting the Jeff Sokol Special (not an official menu item).

Over 10,000 pizza and Hansen appreciators have sought out this video and viewed it because goddarn just look at that pizza.

My friend also remembered how good the pizza looked.

And he’s just there munching it while Chris tells him his life is over. Even offers Chris a slice. I think the reason he was so chill is because he realized he wouldn’t have to share it with some zoomer brat, personally.

Planet Pizza has locations in New York and southwest Connecticut. If you can provide a timestamped Planet Pizza receipt with the Jeff Sokol Special, I will give you a very desirable pizza predator badge.

Do you remember Mr. Sokol’s pizza? Please weigh in.

I live in Georgia, but my company sent me some frozen pizza from Chicago, which is probably closer to New York if my B in 3rd grade geography is still up to snuff.

Do I still get a badge?

You do not. Though Giordana’s in Chicago is the best pizza in the world.

Giordano's? I've lived in both Chicago and NY and the secret truth is NY pizza is all shitty like Sbarro (with some better places like Two Boots,) while Chicago thin crust is the best/most varied in the world. Chicago does have some great deep dish options, but most people eat Chicago thin crust in Chicago, and would be appalled by samey NY deli shit. In fact one place in Chicago faithfully recreates NY style pizza, Luigi's on Clarke, and I used to work by there, and just thought it sucked (before I moved to NY and realized it was just crappy NY pizza.) No idea why Chicago places haven't taken over the country (there are tons of Giordano's in Chicago and surrounding area, now.)

Because you're wrong. You have a large brain tumor that distorted your tastebuds.

Do you subscribe to Jon Stewart's horseshit take? Nobody in Chicago grows up eating deep dish.

Pick a random name--"John's Pizza". John's Pizza on Western in Chicago is a uniquely great thin crust, blows out 95% of NY deli-tier shit.
