I'll take a couple of photos at some point over the next month for this purpose. Stx 16:50, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The date is complete rubbish, I was eating deep fried pizza from Barrhead chippies LONG before the mid-1980's, I would certianly go back into the 1970's.

Clarification[edit]

Is the pizza typically baked (fully or partially) before frying? 170.140.210.108 00:02, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

--Nope, it's a pre-made pizza base with toppings dropped into a deep fat fryer. Stx (talk) 22:41, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

East[edit]

Is there anything to say that it's more common in the East? I was brought up in Ayrshire and I can assure you that every chippy I've ever been into in my life has sold a pizza supper. Blankfrackis (talk) 17:25, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. I'm from Glasgow (born 1968) and not only do I concur with the foregoing, but until the 1980s I don't think I ever even saw or heard of pizza prepared in any other way. And I wasn't a particularly ignorant kid, either; but before the Internet, the world was a much smaller place.

Regional Usage[edit]

The article says "chips" but does not explain or link the word. Since "chips" are wildly different in different countries, the current description of the food is not very illuminating. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.7.14.6 (talk) 03:24, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Chips are known in the USA as french fries Ochib (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 17:09, 27 September 2008 (UTC).[reply]
