meatza
n.— «My friends once ate a pizza that was known in legend as “the meatza.” This pizza had no sauce, just 7 or 8 different meats piled quite high (estimated at about 4-5 inches). They then used the crust to mop up the grease that had dripped off the slices as they ate.» —“The Bacon Explosion” by Dustin Ray The whole crazy thing Jan. 29, 2009.
