most kosher Israeli pizza is sweet

There was a store near the mir that was making pies with a savory suace... but gave in to what actually sells, and changed the sauce to a sweet one.
Yes, you'll never confuse a Pizza uri pie with one fron ave J, or JII here with Perazio, or Pizza Shemesh/Extra Pizza with Cafe Napoli on M (Z"L) but they're all tasty and decent. (OK, except for PS/EP  )

Apropos to nothing, I recently tried Pizza Hut's thick pizza (branch by Ramot Mall has a Rubin), and it was delicious. Fwiw the sauce was probably the first genuinely savory sauce I've had in a very long time.

Pizza Hut's delicious.

Blink twice if you're being held against your will.

Is it a problem to like both savory and sweet pizza? Or is it a problem for Pizza Hut to get a Rubin hechsher? Or that the pizza didn't have sesame seeds?

I'm sure you recall that in the states Pizza Hut is Shpitz Treif (like something one would use as a moshol)

Of course. Which is why I A) immediately stated the hechsher and B) posted it in the Pros and Cons of Where You Live thread.
Hey, McDonalds is still off-limits.

It's just bad corporate pizza.
There actually is truly delicious pizza in Israel these days, alas nothing with a Rubin level hechsher.

Okay, now I understand.
I think it has been established to my satisfaction that my tastes in food are quite out of the ordinary around here.

I mean, liking Pizza Hut, Subway, or any corporate chain isn't out of the ordinary or else they wouldn't be so successful.

Tornadoes can happen. This one hit closer to home than any I can recall. We never lost power and most people that lost power got it back already, though there are some exceptions.

A community member sponsored a massive trailer with refrigerated and freezer space for everyone who lost power to use, which typifies this awesome Jewish community.

CLE is still paradise in the summer.

I love it when Cleveland gets stuff 10 years after NYC and they think they have the most amazing thing ever.

Kinda like their one good restaurant or Dougies in a freezer in the back of a bakery.

Although those were existing large fridges and refrigerated warehouses and trucks already in service by various establishments not rented special.

This was a trailer and generator at a shul with no power.

I guess that is a con of where you live, that you need to rely on that. Over here, as soon as there is a larger-scale issue, the establishments that are equipped for it open up their equipment to the public and competitors.

Pretty big exception is basically the whole UH....
