Kill it with fire!

Altoona-style pizza originated at the Altoona Hotel, which was noted as serving "a unique pizza" in 1996 by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Following the destruction of the hotel in 2013 by fire, other local restaurants began serving Altoona-style pizza.

Oh, they tried but took too long and the infection spread.

While originally topped with Velveeta, Altoona-style pizza is popularly topped with yellow processed cheese known as American cheese.

A.k.a melted plastic.

Ehrm.... :

Processed cheese typically contains around 50–60% cheese and 40–50% other ingredients.

None of which are plastic. And that's the minority of ingredients anyways.

I will only accept American in two places, albeit mostly for nostalgia/vibes; burger/patty melt, and grilled cheese.

And even in those applications you can do a lot better for the melty cheese factor - hell even provolone or swiss is a solid upgrade.

Its good in a grilled cheese! I don't want fancy or even nice for grilled cheese. I want melty, fat melty, slightly oily, easy to eat like 3 of then in a go at 4am!

Take one of those, throw the ingredients on haphazzardly so they're not evenly distributed at all, then burn it to a crisp. Congratulations you just made the new haven style pizza that people from Connecticut pretend they like out of hometown pride
