A photo of a pizza served at Trump Tower in New York has sparked debate online.
When Politico’s White House reporter Annie Karni tweeted a tongue-in-cheek photo of her meal on Twitter, she probably didn’t think she would horrify thousands of Twitter users.
So glad to be back in NYC, specifically for the famous Trump Tower pizza. pic.twitter.com/oKgZx8S4cG

Her meal was a thin crust margherita pizza from Trump Tower and it looked a bit sad.
Who knows how the pizza tasted, but it certainly didn’t look appetising to Karni’s followers.
I've had better microwave pizzas. pic.twitter.com/FV6W4cD4rr

Looks like cheese melted to a paper plate

I don't think the person who made that actually eats food

It’s not clear where exactly Karni bought her pizza, but a margherita is on the Trump Tower On-the-Go cafe menu for $11.50 (£8.50) and comes with a choice of thin or thick crust.
Some saw the pizza as an insult to the famous New York pizza.
Been to NYC. That is not NYC pizza. It looks like some cut-rate, off-brand, frozen cardboard, and cut-rate cheese concoction.

I'm in Scotland. We eat oats, blood and offal wrapped in a sheep's stomach. Even we know that's not a NY pizza. 🤢Boak!

These New Yorkers decided to recommend places Karni should visit to enjoy real NY pizza.
Seriously, can that(that barely qualifies as a pizza) and go to Di Fara's in Brooklyn. 1424 Avenue J.

uneven cheese coverage, swimming in grease, uneven sauce coverage; THAT'S NOT PIZZA. You should've gone to @Joespizzanyc for REAL pizza.
