People started referring to Glock handguns with extended magazines as 'Gluzi', being short for glock-uzi.
The Uzi is another gun with a commonly extended mag that pokes out the bottom of the grip, hence the comparison.
The slightly derogatory 'Gluzi' became 'Glizzy'
Now, another more derogatory nickname for a gun with a mag that sticks well beyond the handgrip was "Hotdog" because, well it looks like the sausage sticking out the end of a hotdog bun.
So people are calling these guns "hotdogs" and "glizzy", and so naturally, at a barbecue somewhere where the sausage was notaby longer than the bun, someone must have started referring to their extended sausage hotdog as a "Glizzy" as a joke, comparing the sausage to the extended mag of a Glock, and it stuck. The comedy lives in referring to an innocuous food item as a weird looking, often gang or crime-associated style of gun. Maybe because there's a high chance of encountering both kinds of Glizzy at certain barbecues, and bystanders are subject to the ol' switcharoo when one person asks for a Glizzy, and received a hotdog. Or maybe they asked for a hotdog, and recieved a gun, IDK I wasn't there.
I hope you made every word of this up, because this is the de facto history of glizzy now. Like, a screenshot of this comment should be the entire Wikipedia page.
Dang and here I thought Australians were the first to call a hotdog a glizzy. And I assumed it was glistening with grease, and that's why they abbreviated to glizzy. According to a quick search, you appear to be correct tho with the glock-uzi slang
Imagine bitching about pineapple on pizza when those gastroterrorists are unironically putting ketchup on sausages. It's sacrilege, an atrocity against man and god.
Pineapple on pizza is great in theory. In practice people usually don't pre-grill the pineapple and they don't cut it thin enough, so it creates a big soggy pineapple juice crater in my otherwise delicious pizza.
Joke's on you: my mustard game has become so advanced - a habit so entrenched - it has rendered me immune to the chemical irritants which are commonly deployed at street protests, which is really coming in handy lately.
As I wind my way to the front, my people chant in unison:
MUSTARD MAN!
MUSTARD MAN!
MUSTARD MAN!
I open every orifice and beg for pepper balls and gas. The people, euphoric, giddily cheer through their masks as I personally ingest about a year's worth of taxpayer-funded chemical munitions via every route physically available to my mortal form. The pigs waste... all of it. It is a tasty snack.
The pigs are sad. They go home for the night. Questioning their life choices, they are unable to sleep. Half of them later resign.
I have no idea where it was taken but from the burnt surface of said glizzy the pic would suggest that it wasn’t served near Port Authority and thus soaked in 9 day old water and smeared with Chernobyl sourced ingredients.

It makes perfect sense, like how glizzy could be short for Glizzabella or Glizzaac, it can mean two things!

None of it compares to well done steak with ketchup.

I probably wouldn't use ketchup either, but if it were already there I'd still eat it without gagging.

And since my friend also hated it, I sent him a video of me happily eating the raw stuff, without flinching.
