Cheese pizza seems to be a very specific request. Does anyone actually get that when you could get pepperoni or supreme?
Another interesting thing, Macaulay Culkin was in a comedy rock band called Pizza underground when he grew up.

Kids like pizza without toppings, it's been a thing as long as I've been alive. I order cheese pizza for my kids when I order pizza because otherwise, we would have to take toppings off to get them to eat it. It's why pedos started using it as code (it was already a known trope/existing association) not the other way around. A kid ordering cheese pizza in a movie is nothing out of the ordinary in my opinion.
Exactly right. I drives me a little bananas how they whine about toppings. When my kids were young, I refused to conform to their fetish. They always got a load of toppings.
Never accommodate a picky eater. Hunger has a way of fixing that issue.
Sometimes a pizza is just a pizza.
Being that I lived through the 90's old enough to be completely embedded in popular culture at the time, pizza was every kid's favorite and yes, the youngest kids didn't like stuff on their pizza, they liked just cheese. (picky little brats) That's a typical stereotype that the movie played on. And it was certainly true in my world, my little brother only liked cheese pizza, and all of my friends who also had little brothers (weird how that worked out) they only liked cheese as well. So every damn party we had, we always ordered plain cheese for the little brothers.
Now "pizza underground" sounds more like code to me, but the movie honestly just looks innocent being that it really mirrored society perfectly in the little details like cheese pizza.
Has nothing to do with most young kids preferring cheese pizza, I am sure of it.
Everything is not a comm, use discernment
Two things…. Ewww vegetables and the little rounds thing are too spicy.
...and Macaulay Culkin had a line(s) in the movie when he made a big deal out of "cheese pizza".
Cheese tends to be slang for a young white girl. Other slang for other flavors.
Hot Dog = Boy... Think Obama's White House Party with $65,000 of hot dogs flow in from Chicago. Hillary wrote him a letter saying to keep that stuff away from the White House.
"""" Fact check: Barack Obama did not spend $65K on prostitutes, code-named 'pizza' and 'hotdogs' """"

Maybe you should Fact check your Fact Check.. I mean USA Today? I'm not buying that this didn't happen, too many other "incidents" to gloss over.
Honestly I put that in because USA Today said it did not happen. It clearly is another Russian Hoax. We are closing in on Trump, he will be in JAIL and will NEVER BE ALLOWED!!! BACK! INTO THE WHITE HOUSE!!
I cannot channel that energy for to long. ;)
My apologies.
I thought you were being sardonic. LOL
Cheers!
I was trying to channel HRC to lean into that.
Right! It wasn't prostitutes. It was underage boys and girls.

Nice screenshot - can you link the original from Wikileaks, or is this made up?
They should be there on wiki leaks somewhere. I knew what to look for from years ago. Getting harder to find stuff.

Dear Barack,
When we began the pizza arrangement I thought we were going to be more careful than this. Operating from the Whitehouse is not what I originally had in mind. Remember that the hotdogs can come but if you make a spectacle of it, that will be our downfall.
Please know that I am speaking as a friend. You are the president and you can do as you like but I have to say I think it would be wiser to restrict this activity to our predetermined locations.
Let me know what everyone thinks. We can vote on it if you'd like.
Thanks,
Hillary
And the photos of Obama playing ping pong with a young boy in the WH.
Culkin is or was for a good while pretty messed up, including playing the 'Party Monster' Michael Alig, who last I saw of was busy drugging 11 year old 'drag queen' Desmond Is Amazing. It's something.
I'm going to have to say, that the teenage mutant ninja turtles had a great part in the popularity of pizza in the late 80s and early 90s pop culture. Its a kids movie.
Maybe something sinister, who knows.
Wasn't theirs always pepperoni with anchovies.
I tried that combination when I was younger, I didn't like it the anchovies weren't my thing so it only become pepperoni.
I got older and started to enjoy anchovies lol
Eating their Pizza in the tunnels under the city no less
The turtles were deeply into pizza. In fact, it was the only thing they were seen eating.
We had pizza every Friday night for my whole childhood. All we ever got was cheese. I thought you had to go to Pizza Hut to get one with a bunch of toppings. I still prefer just cheese.
No! I had the same experience two nights ago watching part one.
The entire pizza scene was truly unnecessary and felt shoehorned in, but then at the end Kevin looks directly at the camera and says something like "Mmmm. An entire cheese pizza all for myself!"
Knowing the symbolism involved it really struck me as a "look what we can get away with" flex by the producer class. Wonder if there's anyway to follow the script development... Too lazy to research. Lol.
Since we're on the topic, 80s vampire film Near Dark features a group of vampires living together by circumstance. One is a 300 (or whatever) year old in a child's body. He sets his eyes on the protagonist's elementary school age sister.
Towards the end, the vampires happen to be holed up in a motel where the protagonist's father and sister are staying. The vampire meets the girl outside at the coke machine and invites her back to their room to "watch TV".
The kid vampire and the girl enter the room where the other vampires are sitting around playing cards and relatively low in the sound mix you hear them joke about "someone ordered a cheese pizza".
That was so wildly random it blew my mind. In plain sight. I suspect if I was to rewatch a lot of the sleazy VHS horror stuff I used to, I'd find a lot of this stuff. I suspect the producer circles operated in much the same way the porn industry did.
I think Kevin says that line simply because of the events of the first act that result in him being sent to the attic. Little Fuller and Buzz likely shared the only pizza that had just cheese on it. There is nothing wrong with that, but Kevin likely got revenge by ordering a cheese pizza for himself, and with Buzz's money. Hopefully Peter punished Buzz severely because it was his actions before they left that caused Kevin to be left home.
Yeah Kevin had a cheese pizza ordered for him and the other kids ate it all to spite him. Remember - Buzz acted like he was gonna throw up pizza and told Kevin to get a plate.
I think Buzz was one of the villains in the movies. Him and the other kids eating the cheese pizza ended up with Kevin getting left home alone in the first one. As a result, Buzz should have been punished for the demolished room because it would have never happened had Kevin made the trip to Paris, or if he left the pizza alone. The second movie was also Buzz's fault as he performed an ill-timed prank. Thankfully, Mr. Duncan paid the room service bill later that Christmas Day while Kevin was making the news for saving the store from Harry and Marv.
The media went nuts when John Hughes died suddenly. I think cheese pizza is a shout-out to those in the know here. More fuckery hiding in plain sight.
