Incorrect. Firstly, it's an UFB. Secondly it's not a bloody tourney. Make you own food based fight night up! :p

Pizza I guess. Close call.

Edit: oops... thin crust only? I should have chosen burger.

Oops, sorry for the transposition. Well, that sucks. I don't want to make my own, I want you to run yours the right way - My Way, dammit!

You could set up a rival tournament, you know, like Ultra Food Fights. Then we can have UFB vs. UFF arguments, with fans of both sides fighting it out till the end of time.

Gotta go with pizza because of the variety plus those old college days with next day leftover pizza and warm beer bring smiles to my face.

That's right. Why the heck does burger get a bye in the first round? I'm voting pizza just because the organizers are stacking the deck.

Now this is truly a worthy battle.

On the one hand, pizza is the workhorse of the junkfood kingdom. Sporting an ever reliable delicious cheesiness and host to a myriad of flavorful toppings, pizza is always a meal unto itself and its any time versatility means it can be enjoyed with the same euphoric delight be it day or night.

On the other hand, there's almost no beating the savory juiciness of a well made burger. No slouch in accepting a wide variety of toppings, the burger reigns supreme in making the most of its ability to meld flavors where each bite can be a gustatory orgasm of gastronomical proportions.

Hmm, extremely difficult to choose which deserves the crown, but ultimately I have to go with reliability and versatility. Pizza is the security blanket of junk food. :D

That may be a UFB for another day. Or perhaps thin crust beat out Chicago in the qualifiers.

Why not just 'Pizza'.

To me 'thin crust' is that thin crispy crust they have at Pizza Hut.
New York Style is thin floppy crust.
Chicago Style is in a deep dish with the sauce on top of the cheese.

However Pizza of any type (except California crap) >>>>>> Burgers.

Burger over pizza, I think. It's just so much more portable.
