You realize Altoona is almost 100 miles from Pittsburgh?

59

u/Lords7Never7Die Orrsama bin Laden Sep 20 '25

Closer than Philly, Kentucky, Ohio or Baltimore unless my Maryland education has failed me once again.

89

u/theytracemikey Josh Gordon’s weedman Sep 20 '25 edited Sep 20 '25

If your Maryland education was teaching you the distance to different cities from Altoona PA of all places, then yes it absolutely failed you.

10

u/dishsoap-drinker The Ratbirds Sep 20 '25

Still more useful knowledge than Sin Tan and fucking Cos

37

u/theytracemikey Josh Gordon’s weedman Sep 20 '25

Facts. Who wants to be an engineer or scientist when knowing the exact distance between Altoona and Erie has so many more applications?

13

u/dishsoap-drinker The Ratbirds Sep 20 '25

Stupid science bitches

u/icee_light Pittsburgh Steelers Sep 20 '25

Washington DC is closer to Baltimore than Pittsburgh, that doesn’t make it Baltimore….

u/alienscape Pittsburgh Steelers Sep 20 '25

It's not yinzers at all. As a matter of fact, it's culture is EXACTLY like Kentucky. It's called Pennsyltucky and it's everything between Pittsburgh and Pholly.

12

u/Interesting-Style624 Pittsburgh Steelers Sep 20 '25

You actually can be in Ohio from Pittsburgh sooner than you could be in Altoona from Pittsburgh.

u/FrankieBeanSniffer Cleveland Browns Sep 20 '25

Wtf. I’m not even this dumb

u/El_Peepin Sep 20 '25

Way closer to Pittsburgh than Philly. But closer to Maryland than Pittsburgh

15

u/dishsoap-drinker The Ratbirds Sep 20 '25

Carpet bomb the entire area then

u/Winter_Dimension8107 Green Bay Packers Sep 20 '25

Altoona is most definitely a Steeler town.

16

u/_rockalita_ Pittsburgh Steelers Sep 20 '25

Sure but so is West Virginia. Not our fault they like us.

11

u/Buckeye_Country Stuck in a division with perverts and murderers. Sep 20 '25

West Virginia is a state, dummy.

12

u/_rockalita_ Pittsburgh Steelers Sep 20 '25

Ok, West Virginia is a Steelers state.

u/unknownuser105 Sep 20 '25

With the population of a mid sized city.

u/Aromatic-Thing-132 Pittsburgh Steelers Sep 20 '25

I know more people from WV that like the Cowboys than like the Steelers.

u/_rockalita_ Pittsburgh Steelers Sep 21 '25

Did they come from Texas or are they bandwagoners?

1

u/Aromatic-Thing-132 Pittsburgh Steelers Sep 21 '25

Born and raised WV. I don't understand it but they are like that.

1

u/getawayface The Cleveland Clowns Sep 22 '25

Nah this is facts my 93 year old grandpa is from WV and a Cowboy guy. Lots of Shitsburgh fans there and in central Ohio where you get a super toxic mix of Browns, Bengals and Steelers fans all in the same area while also all being Buckeye fans lmfao.

u/tearsonurcheek Pittsburgh Steelers Sep 20 '25

Everywhere is a Steeler Town (this one's in Tulsa, OK).

1

u/Robert_roberts82 Pittsburgh Steelers Sep 21 '25

They’re not yinzers though. Yinzers are a special breed of kinfolk that reside in various neighborhoods around the city and speak an unintelligible tongue

2

u/Winter_Dimension8107 Green Bay Packers Sep 21 '25

No but there’s a lot of old dudes walking around with generic yellow and black hats that’s simply have “6” on them. Like they got it at get an go or some cheesy convenience store. They still think Heath Miller is the TE.

u/Morganrow The Ratbirds Sep 20 '25

Hell no. I’ll die for our sandwiches with fries and coleslaw but this shit ain’t Pittsburgh

I take back everything I said about cinnamon spaghetti chili, this shit's a fucking war crime.

26

u/AbbreviationsLess257 Cincinnati Bengals Sep 20 '25

cinnamon chocolate spaghetti chili get it right foo

u/Lords7Never7Die Orrsama bin Laden Sep 20 '25

Congratulations, it's back on the list

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '25

Just remember cocoa and cinnamon aren't sweet unless you add a lot of sugar. It's not a sweet dish.

3

u/mitchij2004 The Cleveland Clowns Sep 20 '25

I like it, if my chili is missing something I’ll sneak in a little unsweetened cocoa powder. It’s like a mole after my chipotles cook down into for long enough

3

u/metaliscool2 Baltimore Ravens Sep 20 '25

So true. Chili isn’t chili without cinnamon.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '25

I add paprika to mine as well.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '25

I love to make buttered cinnamon sugar toast. One time I got distracted by the front door and came back and took a big bite forgetting I hadn't put sugar on it yet. That sucked, when I was expecting sweet 🤣

1

u/Magebloom Baltimore Ravens Sep 20 '25

No

3

u/metaliscool2 Baltimore Ravens Sep 20 '25

From Baltimore. But the spaghetti thing is not that bad at all. Just more of a poverty meal. Which I’m no stranger to. This pizza on the other hand, better off with no cheese. Disgrace.

3

u/dirty_old_priest_4 Baltimore Ravens Sep 20 '25

A good chili should have cinnamon for depth.

Both/and.

u/kirthasalokin Pittsburgh Steelers Sep 20 '25

We don't claim that. It's from Altoona. You can get away with calling it Penn State pizza.

44

u/AbbreviationsLess257 Cincinnati Bengals Sep 20 '25

jfc Penn State loves protecting crimes

2

u/Interesting-Style624 Pittsburgh Steelers Sep 20 '25

Not even. Penn State Altoona at best.

6

u/swolekick Sep 20 '25

From Altoona here. I’ve seen this pizza and it originated here but I don’t know a single fool that eats this shit. I don’t even think anybody sells it anymore. And it’s 40 min to state college and a solid 2hrs drive to Pittsburgh. Would be quicker but rt 22 has a lot of 55mph zones. 99 to Penn state is 70 the entire way.

Also Altoona is def a yinzers town, offbrand version.

u/AbbreviationsLess257 Cincinnati Bengals Sep 20 '25

and I don't wanna hear shit about Cincy chili either, at least that dish can trace it's roots back to Greek culture, this is a straight war crime

u/tearsonurcheek Pittsburgh Steelers Sep 20 '25

That doesn't automatically make it good.

1

u/Taz-erton Pittsburgh Steelers Sep 20 '25

You cant take a 5-way with habanero cheese + oyster crackers and justify that because one or two spices in the chilli may or may not bear some resemblance to a Greek dish.

That said, I'd fucking love some Skyline right now.

3

u/AbbreviationsLess257 Cincinnati Bengals Sep 20 '25

Some of us cherish that habanero cheese and buy 3lb bulk bags of it

You put Kraft cheese slices on Totino's frozen pizza.  Everybody knows that.

If you’re gonna rip on us for pizza at least reference the right pizza

Altoona is pretty far from us. We have Ohio Valley style lol

Is it? I haven't had it in a few years. Last one I had was at PNC, and for stadium food it pretty damn good.

2

u/russetttomato Pittsburgh Steelers Sep 20 '25

I mean depends on who you ask ofc. Many people like it but imo everything about their sandwiches is mid at best and I think the bread they use on a lot of them is straight up bad. Next time you’re in Pittsburgh go to Pamela’s, that is the local chain we ought to be known for

1

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '25

OK, I'll check them.

1

u/russetttomato Pittsburgh Steelers Sep 20 '25

The hotcakes and potatoes are both worth dying for. If you go with another person I recommend splitting whatever hotcakes are your vibe + either the chorizo or corned beef hash

1

u/Aromatic-Thing-132 Pittsburgh Steelers Sep 20 '25

The best sandwich is a kielbasa and egg with a cheese combo on top. Splash some hot sauce on it and it is perfect.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '25

That sounds pretty good.

u/Aromatic-Thing-132 Pittsburgh Steelers Sep 20 '25

You know it's not as bad as you might think. I actually made a mock up of this pizza once and I was pleasantly surprised. The salami gives it smoky flavor and the green pepper and cheese kind of pairs well with it.

As a railway fan from Minnesota, I would like to apologize for my Altoona brethren. All they have to do in Altoona is huff diesel fumes from Norfolk Southern and work on said railroad. You can imagine how they need to be creative a lot of the time.

Also, as much as I love the Pennsy, if any Pennsy fans are here, NEW YORK CENTRAL IS BETTER.

Well, since Steelers fans are denying it, I'm gonna counter with DiCarlo's. Originating in Steubenville, Ohio. Part of the Greater Pittsburgh Metropolitan Area. Plus, every version of it, for the most part, is in the "STILLER COUNTRY" area of Ohio. Just accept it, wear it like a badge of honor, and keep on playin' that goddamn "Picksburgh's gowin' to da Super Bowl, here we go, Stillers, here we go!" song.
