Rubric Project: Pizza by Aicha Arabab

1-Cheese Pizza

Cheese pizza is the ultimate classic; everyone likes it. You can’t go wrong with a simple, basic cheese pizza that is true to “Pizza Standards” and satisfaction. It is strongly defensible; only those who are crazy don’t like a good old cheese pizza. It is straight to the point and easily identifiable as a pizza, as a thesis should be. This base pizza can be added with different toppings, just as evidence can be built to defend a good thesis.

0-Flat Bread with Toppings

Flat bread with toppings- pizz-ey but not pizza. The Italians, aka the AP scorers, are not happy about this being in the “Pizza” section. Not only is this not a defensible argument, but it also doesn’t “respond” to the topic of pizzas. If this is counted as a pizza or a thesis, any type of bread with toppings will be counted as a pizza. That is NOT acceptable. Pizza has certain requirements it must meet, and normal bread does not meet those standards.

4- Margherita Pizza

Margherita Pizza: This is the pizza that every pizza lover just loves! It's fresh and delicious, an Italian classic. You can add a little bit of your own kick to it, just a little nothing too crazy, and it will still be the best pizza. It's a thin but airy crust, topped with fresh tomato sauce, creamy mozzarella cheese, and fresh green basil leaves. It doesn't have a lot of ingredients, but that's what makes it so good. The warm, melty cheese, fresh tomato sauce, and fresh basil leaves are THE perfect balance, creating something well developed with perfect commentary that people couldn’t ask for more of it.

3-Square Pizza

Square Pizza: This was THE school pizza back in the good old days. Evidence can suggest that perfectly cut square pepperonis (which are optional), crusty edges on all sides of the pizza, the sauce, and the cheese support this as a very high-ranking pizza. Despite the fact that this is widely known as a school lunch, it tastes fresh as if from a restaurant. Pizza days on Fridays were days that students looked forward to, and a good school square pizza can be the cherry on top of a good day.

2-Bagel Bites

Bagel Bites: They are technically pizza and meet some of the requirements, such as tomato sauce and cheese, sometimes even pepperoni, but they aren’t authentic pizzas. They are pre-made and usually frozen, making the texture, taste, and satisfaction immediately go down. Meeting some of the requirements, bagel bites can be considered pizza, but not the type of pizza that is strongly recommended, or defended, like the evidence in a 3-point essay.

1-Hawaiian Pizza

1170542 — 2025-09-22 16:01:45 UTC

Hawaiian Pizza: Just like kiwi pizza, Hawaiian pizza is also horrible and is an abomination. Why would the creator of this “pizza” think, “Hey, let's put some acidic fruit on it too!” After a while, the pineapple gets hard and shrivels up till there is no more juice left. The ONLY amount of evidence that can back up this monstrosity is the fact that, other than the pineapple, it can have ham or bacon. These, on the other hand, are just a little bit more acceptable than pineapple.

0-KIWI Pizza

1170542 — 2025-09-22 16:04:32 UTC

Kiwi Pizza: Do we really need to explain this one?? Not only does it put FRUIT on a SALTY pizza, but it is also a KIWI of all fruits to choose from. After putting it in the oven, it’ll turn soggy, and the cheese will be watery. It is a shame to even call this a true pizza, as it does not follow the guidelines. It cannot be defended with ANY evidence, and no claim is strong enough to defend putting kiwi on a precious pizza. WHAT A WASTE!! The only “evidence” it has of being a pizza is the fact that it has cheese, crust, and tomato sauce.

1- 4 Cheeses Pizza

1170542 — 2025-09-22 16:09:38 UTC

4 Cheese Pizza: It blends 4 types of cheeses to make a unique and rich flavor. Every cheese you put adds something different, from creaminess to bold flavor, to sharpness, together, though they make a regular pizza into something fancy. Even well-written essays, sometimes, can’t reach the true level of sophistication that a 4 cheese pizza blend can.

0-Pepperoni Pizza

1170542 — 2025-09-22 16:10:28 UTC

Pepperoni: It's something simple and common that everybody who eats pepperonis goes for, and sometimes that’s exactly what you want. It's nothing special, something you get when you just want a pizza, “the regular order”. It's a basic pizza that's just good enough, but sometimes good enough doesn’t get you a sophisticated point.
