You know, as someone who's cranked out more than a few century+ days on bikes, as long as your stomachs OK with it that doesn't sound terrible.

It's got carbs, proteins, and fats, which will all metabolize into energy at different rates Presumably rather a lot of salt too is in bar pizza.

Wins all around I say. I'd personally be a bit wary of food like that were it me, but proof is in the mileage I guess.

I'm more worried about how crunchy that pizza looks.

I don't think pizza is supposed to look like that. I could be wrong, though.

I don't think "bar pizza" is what you and I think of as "pizza".

That looks like an open faced sandwich of some sort.

the brown stuff is cheese that's been baked low until it's uniformly crunchy. Which is great on the edges, for example.

Not so great in the middle.

On second thought, forget the bike, I’ll just eat some pizza.

When I was really fit in my younger days, I ate pizza when my body was feeling drained. It is a good fuel source to be honest.

I thought conventional wisdom was that fettuccine Alfredo was the best food to gorge on during a long run.

Gotta carbo-load

That pizza looks like trash though

It's actually really good old school south shore bar pizza. It looks awful in these pictures though.

Pff yeah so what? I eat pizza almost every day and I don't get an article written about me.
