Just say that it is true that Orks eat pizza. Would they drink wine or beer with it? I would have to venture to say that in a galaxy of only war that Diet Coke does not exist and if not for some sort of soda, wine or beer what would an Ork drink to wash down his pizza. Surely no one drinks water with pizza right? Not now or in the 41st millennium.
I could hardly entertain the idea that Orks only eat squigs for sustenance, although it is rumored that they have been known to eat humans as well as other Orks. (Dead I presume.) As a race of humanoids hell bent on violence and war, squigs would have to be packed with thousands of calories and loaded with carbohydrates to sustain any self respecting warmongering aspiring Ork boy. How else could a young lad of an Ork become some crazed tyrant of a War boss unless he had the occasional access to some of the finer dining of its human enemies? With all of the wrecking and pillaging of entire solar systems, Orks salvage any possible chuck of metal that can be made into a machine of war. So again it would stand to reason that at least some Orks dabble into human dining.
After all some Orks (Blood Axes mainly) attempt to mimic their human enemies any way they possibly can. Does this mean that similar to a mekboy that there is some type of cookaboy Ork out there? Has there ever been a cookaboy sighting? Does the cookaboy follow the hoard around in his ramshackle ad hock roach coach of a truck? Is he the one that whips the squigs into some sort of five course meal, heat up an Imperial Guard ration pack, roast a rack of termagant or bake a pizza? If so what clan does he belong to?
I will never live long enough to see the far future where there is only war, but somewhere along the way I would really love to know if Orks eat pizza Please add your thoughts on this entertaining debate.

I will continue this thought on my website blog at Felmid's Forge.

Orks drink fungus beer, so I guess you have your answer for what they drink. I'm pretty sure they eat just about anything though, and wouldn't have any qualms eating pizza. They probably wouldn't make it, since it takes too long to cook.

I don't know, I could see Chef Waaaaghsey swearing at his underlings to make him a damn good pizza and they aren't doing well enough at their job and they are worthless in Black Reach Kitchen. Ok, a bit too far. Anyway, I'm sure orks eat anything put in front of them: other Orks, humans, pizza, babies, diapers, old people...

Well, I'm not an Astrobiologist, but I would suspect that an Ork's sustenance needs are much different than our own. The nutrients and proteins they'd need to survive would be rather foreign to us.

Pizza is a combination of foods that are nutritious to humans (and most Earth-based life), but that may not be true in to an Ork.

Since our sense of taste is mostly designed to encourage us to eat foods that are nutritious to us and to avoid foods that aren't, I doubt Orks would enjoy pizza.

Which is what grots are for.
The question is - what to make it out of?

It's conceivable that there's a squig that can be milked so that they can make cheese.
Is there a fungus that can be used to make dough for the base?

They also get nutrients through photosynthesis IIRC.

But I know some other green guys who eat pizza.

Bet they'd hold the mushrooms on it.
