I don’t speak German and even if I did I wouldn’t know what is going on as to why there is so many posts in German referencing pizza. Anyone in Germany care to clue me in?

I don't know about this meme, but you know memes come in waves. It's just the nature of memes.

That said, Germans - at least the Bavarians - have a special relationship with pizza second only to Americans. It's kind of weird, because it's so random. You don't see this in, e.g., Southern France, and Italians seem almost ambivalent to it.

I think it's because, despite the world wars, Germans generally have a fondness for American culture, the same way Americans generally have a fondness for Mexican culture. They have Germanized versions of American food, like we have Americanized versions of traditional Mexican food.

I don't know who the French are fond of, besides themselves.

Not from Germany but I do speak the language. As far as I can tell, someone used to have a kinda pizza day at work but it's been cancelled so this employee started memeing on the German me_irl.

I imagine they're pizza just sucks in general. And yes, I am biased. I'm from Chicago, I've have that right.

A Chicago resident would be an expert in shit pizza after all

Chicago clearly has no idea what a pizza is. Like Gilles_D said, that's a quiche.
