What would Jesus order?
I think a regular Neapolitan margarita pie. You know one with just mozzarella and red sauce. None of those fancy four cheese thingy's.
No thin crust. No Chicago deep dish. No white pizza. Not even a Grandma pie. Just your regular pie.
Jesus is a regular guy. Plus you know he would bring the wine. Just sayn'

Pepperoni!
Jesus was a greaser!
Probably a little olive oil.
Something for Mary Magdalene.
It would, of course, have to be kosher.
PS You were right about the sock puppet.
I like only cheese pizza, with a nice red tomato sauce-I am like Jesus!
I knew it. God invented pizza. It makes sense. I also like his kid.
5 crusts and 2 anchovies ,when an unexpected mulitude shows up for Superbowl Sunday.
BTW how many Jews thank Y*WH*H that Moses didn't live long enough to encounter Chinese takeout.
Is it a terrible sin if I admit to liking DiGiorno's Supreme Pizza? That's the one with mushrooms, onions, red and green peppers and pepperoni on top of the cheese and tomato sauce. I mean I don't have an orgasmic reaction. I can tell it's not great, but it's good enough for me. How many acts of contrition get me off the hook?
It might be called DiGiorno's Pizza Supreme. But I've got the colors on the box memorized so I never reach for the wrong box!
Serious bible student would know Jesus ate fish pizza and he could whip 'em out of baskets like nobody's business mindblowingly. The bread is flatbread, the fish is not freshly caught Sea of Galilee fish, no, too dodgy for crowds, it is dried fish, intensified by drying and salting, sort of like fish jerky, torn and moistened with olive oil.
You can make this at home easily. Be sure to get sardines packed in oil not water. Julia Child said sardines and tuna and salmon and such packed in water is for pussies.
Italiano chefs buy their anchovies from Italiano delis. The fish packed in salt.
Look. Be reasonable. What do the people in that area eat now? Hummus, that's what. Jesus' pizza would be hummus on flatbread. He'd break a piece of flatbread and use it to scoop hummus like normal people. Some sliced olive, some sautéed red bell pepper, onion, thin slices of garlic, boom, pizza topping right there. It could be a thing.
So many bread+protein+cheese+sauce are similar to pizza, roasted open-face sandwiches that become an ersatz pizza. croque-monsieur ham sandwich in France is a near pizza. Focaccia another. In summer I like a slice of sourdough bread with a thick juicy slice of garden tomato soaking into it. I can live on that through the summer and the whole time I'm thinking, this is a bit like a pizza, the elements are here. Salt, garden basil. It's very nice.
Jesus would like my cold raw near-pizza for summer. He'd go, yo Chip, this bread reminds me of the old days.
Mrs Haz and I are riding around in the Upper Peninsula today. I love the UP. Gorgeous scenery. Anyhow, we rode up to the tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula today because we wanted to buy jam and baked goods from http://store.societystjohn.com/">some monks.
Lunch time found us in Copper Harbor. Not much to choose from. We stopped at a place where there were a few cars. On the menu was a pizza that was made with smoked trout and white sauce with some vegetables. AWFUL.
I had a hamburger.
This link should work. Sorry. Link.
Copper Harbor, MI is famous (to me) for being the starting point for old US Highway 41 -once a major north/south route. The other terminus was Miami, FLA.
My dad drove that road to and from Wisconsin when he was stationed at Fort Knox, KY in the early '50's.
A couple bands wrote songs about it, e.g., Tom Petty and The Allman Bros.
Copper Harbor got its name for being the harbor from where lots of native copper was shipped out. The land was originally littered with copper chunks. Nowadays, the copper has to be mined, but billions of pounds were removed and billions probably remain locked-up underground.
It would, of course, have to be kosher.
He didn't come to abolish the law, but rather to fulfill the law. With a nice meat-lovers pizza, I'd think.
Anchovies on pizza are an abomination in the eyes of the Lord.
Although personally, I kind of like white pizza with garlic, mushrooms and spinach.
Jesus is a regular guy. Plus you know he would bring the wine. Just sayn'
Jesus was as peculiar a guy as the current pope. Perhaps even more so. From the stories told about what he said and did, he loved to turn what was considered to be regular or right upside down.
Also, there's no record of him bringing the wine. Just sayn'. Plus it was his mom who prompted the ordering that took place.
