    Sandwiches, if done well, by far. People say sandwiches are just a meal on bread; you can basically take it in any direction and there's endless possibilities. (Hamburger wins if its in this category).

    Burritos are essentially also a well-composed meal in one, but feel like there's less variety here.

    Pizza is the other way around. Simpler the better. toppings are there to make the underlying pizza play up. I pretty much never crave pizza and if i'm paying for good pizza i'd probably rather be at another nice restaurant.

    You qualify it.

    Yes, a hamburger is a sandwich.

    Same thing, different shell size.

    Sandwich: two pieces of bread (bun) with fixins between
    Pizza: Flat bread with sauce and fixins
    Burrito: Tortilla wrapped around fixins

    If I had to pick only one thing to eat for the rest of my life (regardless of health consequences), it would be between burgers and pizza. I really think I would have to choose pizza. I haven't had a lot of bad pizza, but I've had some bad burgers.

    So we've established that a burger is a sammich.

    What about a pita? Gyro/falafel/kebob/etc?

    The only reason sammich wins this is the almost infinite amount of variations on meat/cheese/veggie/bread/condiment. Whoever described them as "thin sliced meat with some lettuce and mayo on bread" is living a sad existence. (looking @you @VooDooPope, iirc). Here's 23 global variations:

    eta: it's hard to ever go wrong with pizza though

    I would lean pitas/wraps/gyros are burritos in this case.

    Sandwich: Two pieces of bread
    Pizza: One piece of bread, flat
    Burrito: One piece of bread as a wrap

    Literally impossible. Cousin xth-removed? Plausible.

    Is a hotdog a sandwich?

    If that's the qualification, I'm skipping all that and going with a Tex-Mex combination plate (specifically a Casa Elena (RIP) Tampico Dinner (beef taco, beef enchilada, cheese enchilada, pork tamale, rice, beans) or a two meat plate (sliced moist brisket/sausage with potato salad and beans) at any number of BBQ joints.

    This is strong, but your TexMex plate is missing fajita meat in some delivery vehicle (nachos? tacos? quesadilla? burrito? torta? enchiladas?)

    Hotdog is a burrito?

    I don't make the rules in this thread.

    They're all very very nice and pretty much interchangeable IMO. But to cooperate with the thread.....

    Sandwich (bacon cheeseburger)
    Pizza
    Burritos


    It's easy to destroy a good diet

    The tasty stuff aint good for you
