Both craved pizza very badly. Her girlfriend wanted pepperoni and sausage on the pizza. My best friend is Jewish and wouldn't have meat and dairy mixed in a food. They could only afford one pizza, and neither would budge. When my friend realized that her girlfriend considered "Pepperoni tastes good" a good rebuttal to "You're offending me on a religious level", they broke up.
We've all reconciled and are good friends since, but the story gets told again and again for the lulz.

Wow. Was a half meat/half cheese pizza not sufficient? o.o|

Hmm... no real flames from me.
Minor derail:
We have one friend who is gluten intolerant, so no wheat for her.
Another friend is allergic to tomatoes and all tomato products, even cooked.
And yet one more friend who is vegan (actually several vegans we know).
Between the three of them, the best they could do would be a plain pizza, hold the cheese, sauce and crust. 
I guess they could still make a meal of dried herbs, powdered garlic and red pepper flakes. But that's not much like role play at all, is it?

At that point, you're essentially just "Eating around it", and that's not what the rule is.
Dumb question but why wasn't your Jewish friend ordering from a kosher Pizza place?
to Silverage fan:
a White Pie, although that wouldn't help the Gluten intolerant friend.

My old roommate once pushed his face into a fresh baked pizza in order to express his disagreement over my choice of toppings.
I ate the pizza anyway.

nearly everyone loves pizza, hardly anyone loves role playing.
Even by the low standards of internet forums, this is a poor analogy.

I once convinced an Italian to eat Hawaiian style American pizza. It was hilarious

I like a calzone sometimes
@craggy see me on Union for TFs, SFs (please!) or just some good ol fashioned teaming.
Also, pizza is the staple food of role players! The ubiquitous sustenence before, after and during games as well as during Star Trek marathons (or Babylon 5 marathons if they're 'elitists'!).
My favorite toppings are pepperoni, Italian saugage, chicken, and green & red peppers!

Babylon 5 is WAY better than Star Trek.

I am partial to a good barbeque/hawiian pizza. Or maybe a ranch style. Never chicago style, though. Makes me feel kinda sick. :|
Also, your analogy is good, in my opinion. Ignore the haters.

And if they are in a city without a kosher restaurant, well the pizza place is using dishes and ovens that are traif. Going Half and Half on a pizza is no worse.

Probably gonna get flamed for this, but I don't care. I need to get this thought out.
The way I see it, Role Playing is a lot like Pizza.
Everyone loves good pizza, but not everyone enjoys the same toppings.
Some people like their pizza simple, like a good pepperoni or cheese pizza.
Some go hog wild with the toppings, putting everything and anything they can think of on it.
Or, others will go into specialty pizzas, like a Hawaiian, Chicago Deep Dish, or Sicilian style, where the sauce goes over the cheese.
And yet others will have nothing but exotic toppings, like goat's cheese, avocado, or even mayonnaise.
But there's one thing that holds true about pizza.
No one has ever lost friends or gotten into fights merely because they couldn't agree on toppings.
Just food for thought.
