Pizza and burgers are yin and yang. They complement each other and only together form the ultimate food. Eternally revolving as an ouroboros of harmony, adapting yet never overtaking, a dance of culinary perfection.

Let me explain what I mean.

Suppose we decide that pizza is the ultimate food. Well, we can demonstrate the reductio ad absurdum nature of this claim on grounds that burgers exist. After all, it follows logically and plainly that the best of burgers are better than the best of pizzas. There is simply no substitute for the eternal combination of ground beef between bread with a variety of toppings of the diner's choosing. The visceral tendencies of man can be satisfied in only this way. Burgers are also capable of a simplicity that pizzas are not--the plain burger consists of solely two ingredients, allowing the quality of the preparation to really shine. There is furthermore no pizza without cheese for the unfortunate lactose intolerants. So clearly the ultimate food cannot be pizza, while burgers exist.

And yet, if we instead decide that burgers are the ultimate food, we can disprove this via reductio ad absurdum in much the same way. After all, burgers are a solitary food and lacking in versatility. Friends cannot share a burger like they share a pizza, nor can they produce one without beef. However, the pizza can be scaled for a significant number of eaters, sharing in the same pie. Food sustains our life, so sharing our food shares our life. And likewise, the prospect of a veggie or even cheese pizza has a wide appeal, uniting vegetarians and others in a love of pizza. So clearly the answer cannot be burgers, while pizza exists.

But the remarkable thing is that the advantages and disadvantages of the two foods fit together like the continental shelves, forming a pangea of deliciousness only revealed by the two considered in context of each other. Between the two, everyone is included. Between the two, both social and solitary scenarios are satisfied. Between the two, we clearly have the ultimate food.

Burger.

But only if it's Hawaiian-style with a slice of pineapple on it.

A good hamburger outclasses any food known to man

Usually I prefer hamburgewrs, but it depends both on the quality and on the type of pizza and of hamburgers. In some cases I might prefer pizza.

But do NOT apply this logic the other way around

Had a pizza hamburger one time at some small restaurant. Worst thing I ever tasted and I refused to ever go back there again. Actual edible garbage.

One of the best pizza I've ever eat had small meatballs in it, amongst many other things, it was delicious, but sadly the restaurant closed more than 20 years ago. I used to eat it when I was a kid everytime the summer vacation ended. I did not like that much the place where we used to go on vacation, but I loved that pizza restaurant on the way home.
