Governor Pritzker took issue with Governor Murphy’s social media post proclaiming N.J. has best pizza in world
In a lighthearted yet heated exchange on National Pizza Day, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy ignited a pizza debate by boldly proclaiming his state as home to the world’s best pizza. The declaration, made via a video posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, drew swift reactions from across the digital sphere.
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker joined the fray with a sarcastic retort, replying with a simple “LOL” accompanied by a meme featuring actress Jennifer Lawrence rolling her eyes and offering a sarcastic thumbs up. Pritzker’s response garnered significant attention, amassing over 2,400 likes and sparking a flurry of commentary.
The debate took an unexpected turn when one commenter unearthed a 2013 video of Jon Stewart, former host of “The Daily Show,” dismissing deep dish pizza, a Chicago staple. Stewart’s colorful critique, labeling deep dish as “not pizza” but rather a “(expletive) casserole,” added fuel to the fiery discussion.
