The argument was started because somebody pointed out how NYC pizza joints have been plagiarizing Buffalo pizza places for years

I don’t care how many things you mash up with West Side Story. No choreography means 2 stars.

Live in that pressure cooker town long enough and you’ll be treated to at least one spectacle like this. The most memorable one for me was watching one enraged jamoke chasing another down the street, wielding a wooden chair leg he most definitely intended to use.

All that pizza going to waste. Is it bad that I really want a slice?

They sure went to town on that one instigator once the pizza paddle came out. Bonus if he was a proud boy type.

Maybe the fight started when someone asked for a Chicago deep dish pizza.

That is standard Friday night brawl behaviour in pretty much any provincial English town I was brought up in. Ironically, when I lived in Brooklyn (Flatbush) I was surprised by the lack of violence in my local bar, Lounge 773 on Coney Island Avenue (this is before it burned down), I’m talking late-1990s. I once made this observation to the barman Paul (“You don’t get to call me Pauly. Not until you can count me as a friend.”) and he said: “You know why we don’t get any trouble in here? See over there? He’s packing a piece. See [y]? He’s packing a piece. See [z]? He’s packing a piece. You don’t want to cause trouble in a bar with three drunk guys with guns.”

I’m pretty sure that place might have sold lasagna too.

kitchen utensils such as a pizza paddle
That implement is called a “peel” (except in the large intersection of the baking and kink communities).

When a patron fights a patron in a parlor with a paddle it’s called a “Pizza parlor table ladle lay-down paddle battle.”

I, too, am a little awkward while trying to ease back into socializing.

Yeah, after the epic monkey brawl, this human brawl was a yawn. (Thankfully, I should add.)

Business end of the pizza peel moving at lighting speed in chopping motion, f’ing ouch!
BTW: Resident Flatbush Brooklyn Girl, my Dear Wife said, and I quote, that was definitely Brooklyn and those animals better never try that shit with her.
