McDonald's pizza? I don't remember ever hearing of or seeing it.

[Archae]

McDonald's, according to this article, had pizza, back in the 1980's.

But I don't remember it at all.

Anyone here try it?
Was it as bad as this article suggests?

1. I remember driving through Canada in the early 90's

And them having pizza on their menu

2. Can't say I remember it. 7-11 actually pretty good pizza right now.

Good sauce.

You know the old saying about sex and pizza - it may not be great pizza, but ......it’s pizza.

3. It was available in test markets

and it was awful - on a par with Chef Boy-ar-Dee pizza from a box.

Guess where McPizza ranks?

Quite agree about 7-Eleven's pizza--when you're looking for a cheap hot greasy basic pie, it's surprisingly good.

5. McDLT wasn't bad, I used to eat those nt

10. I liked the McDLT.

I was sorry they got rid of it.

13. McDonald's Homestyle is the same thing

Late at night and with Covid stores close earlier and I went to McDonald's. Saw it on the menu and ordered it. Healthier than a Big Mac.

Maybe it's a limited market thing. It was decent. Over priced, but decent. It sure wasn't as salty as a Big Mac.

6. Not surprised by some of those entries, but they forgot one.

The McBratwurst.

It was a Johnsonville brat, but was so bland it tasted like a hot dog.
(I did try one.)

15. I remember those

The ones I had had barely seen the grill. I like my brats very well done.

7. I never tried it back then.

This part of the article made me chuckle. (I usually give up on a drive-through immediately if the vehicle in front of me is full of children.)

----------
For some dumbass reason, McDonald's was allowing people to order these at the window, causing backups in the line. We all know that feeling, too. When we can just tell the car in front of us is going to be a problem. Some bumper sticker that tells us they're going to cause shit. Send food back. I'm sure people at this time knew when they were behind a McPizza car. There is no way that car didn't look like a Ford Fiesta at the end of a demolition derby, because someone getting a McPizza is on their last legs as a human.

8. Make McDonalds great again.

I remember back in 1960.
Hamburgers 15cents
Cheeseburgers 19cents
Shakes 20cents
Fries 10cents
Soda 10cents

They were really fast back then. No adding machine cash register, you'd give your order and as soon as you paused the guy behind the counter would tell you the amount you pay.

I'm really pissed now. The dollar cheeseburger is now $1.39 here.

11. McMAGA! I have good news...

Adjusted for inflation, your $0.19 cheeseburger in 1960 is equivalent to $1.67 in 2020 dollars.

So you are getting an even better deal than before.

12. Back then a 19 inch color tv was about $400.

Now a 36 inch one is under $100.

16. Computers are where prices have dropped a lot more.

An early Tandy computer that nowadays is outclassed by a smart phone was thousands of $$$.

Today, a laptop with 1 terabyte of HD space is about $300.

9. Loved it.

Was in Canada for a bit in the late 90's.

Only problem was it took at least 10-15 minutes each time you ordered one..which would royally piss off everyone you were eating with....especially when you ordered one thru the drive-thru...

14. Never heard of it!
