I love that some of the comments in here brought back some fun memories.

Yes, this was the pizza served in my grade school years almost every Friday. There was usually at least one alternative entree item available for those who didn't want pizza, but pretty much the only kids who'd get something other than pizza were the ones with food allergies.

My favorite side item to go with it was the healthy in name only side salad that was basically iceberg lettuce, grated government cheese, and a wedge of pale tomato all smothered in an inch thick layer of ranch dressing.

I know Lemmy's more of an international crowd than most social media I'm exposed to and that by the standards of the rest of the world, our school food is bottom tier. I'm still surprised to see so much disdain for the square pizza. Even the picky eaters and rich kids loved the cafeteria square pizza, back in the day. Maybe my poor rural school district just had a better than average quality square pizza or something? I doubt it, though. I mean, they certainly weren't great, but there were orders of magnitude worse pizzas in the world, like those wafer-thin formerly $1.00 USD frozen pizzas from the grocery store.
