Do You Blot Your Pizza Before You Eat?

September 14, 2009

Pizza is one of my weaknesses, and I definitely indulge in it once in a while. Some slices are especially greasy, and I can't stand it when I take a bite and oil drips onto my plate —or pants! So I've gotten into the habit of blotting my pizza. I feel this makes it a bit healthier. What about you?

Sometimes I do, I hate the feeling of the grease all over my mouth.

I mostly make delicious and healthy home made pizzas which dontn have much oil. But if I get pizz from somewhere else yes definitely blot!

If any food is too greasy to me stop eating it or I try to blot away the grease as much as possible.

I dont' blot unles sit's disgusting, but w/ pepperoni, it's a lost cause to blot... it's yummy tho.

I only blot if the grease is pooling and about to drip, not because I don't want to eat oil, but because I perpetually get food stains on my clothes!

ehhh, sometimes you gotta blot... if its too outa hand. normally when there a bunch of pepperoni, blotting is essential. Otherwise i suggest not blotting, and enjoying it, as it's meant to be enjoyed.

i love grease too much to remove it, unless it's blatantly greasy

I blot everything from pizza to baked potatoes and fish.

Pizza Hut is the worst because they oil the pans so much the dough is basically fried instead of baked... Half the time the bottom of it needs blotting more than the cheesy part!

on the rare occasion i do eat pizza, i use up several napkins to ensure that my slice is as dry and chewy as can be with no oily crap all over it!

Hee. At least it's a different picture this time. Usually the pizza blotting posts feature that very smiley girl. (Clearly I've spent far too many hours procrastinating on FitSugar over the last couple of years!) To be honest, I don't think I've ever had a pizza that was so greasy you would need to blot it. Most pizzas I've eaten in restaurants in NZ are pretty fresh and crisp tasting.

I'm not big on pizza. It's just not that appealing to me. When I do eat it, I order it with half the cheese, extra veggies and sauce on a thin-crust, so I don't have to blot much fat off. When my husband eats pizza, he always makes pepperoni and eats the entire thing, grease and all.

I think that is disgusting. All my friends used to do it in high school. First of all, how clean is that napkin really? And second, if you don't want grease, eat something else.
