Shame. Only shame.

Considering tomatoes aren’t even from Europe the Italians can think whatever they want about pizza, they’re not experts, they’re just as wrong as everyone else.
And that’s why, as a Midwesterner, I proudly put black olives on my tacos. And it’s tastes pretty damn great!
Preparing that yourself or are there places where you can buy pickled watermelon?
As long as you aren’t putting cheese or sour cream or using those hard shell things I guess it could pass
A plain slice in NY, maybe with some red pepper flakes and parmigiana. Fuckin bliss.
NY style pizza also isn’t anything particularly amazing. New Yorkers are just louder about it, like with everything they do.
NY pizza fucking sucks. You want real pizza, go to Chicago. Everyone knows deep dish is where it’s at.
Yeah I said it. Fight me.

It’s fucking soup with cheese that’s so covered in sauce it will never reach any level of golden brown delicious, nor even be able to dream of it. It’s such a US thing to think that more is better while annihilating all the nuance that makes the thing actually good in the first place.
A deep crust is fine, just put more in it and put that cheese on top where it can really shine. Fill that bad bitch with all kinds of great stuff. Use more than the most basic, one-note pizza sauce.
I was so hyped for deep-dish and it let me down so fucking hard.
It’s not about being right, it’s about making something that tastes good. Besides that, there are also well established cultural traditions. But as long as people call their garbage pizzas “NY pizza”, or whatever and it’s well distinguished by “Italian pizza” (or Neapolitan, etc.), I don’t see the problem.
Pizzas are just open-faced sandwiches. Anything you can put in a sandwich, you can put on a pizza.
This seems sounds this is a good metric on the surface, but let’s try it out.
Corned beef on pizza? Sounds great. Sauerkraut? Uhh, ok, maybe. Mayonnaise? What the actual fuck…
Mayonnaise? What the actual fuck…
Umm ok well…listen, now hear me out here
Got a friend who eats mayo on pizza. Trying to not be judgey, but I did gag a little just hearing it.
Hear me out, but pickle pizza is pretty damn good. The sauce is mayo, sour cream, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper.
Mayonnaise on pizza is surprisingly common in Finland, e.g one local pizzeria near me puts garlic mayo on certain pizzas – enough that there’s more mayo than tomato sauce. For some incomprehensible reason they also put the mayo under the cheese. As you can guess, it was repulsive. However, BBQ sauce and bacon pizza is a nice combination, which is also normal here.
Truffle mayo did work in some pizzas, in moderation.
To (controversially) go one step further, all unsweetened carbohydrate bases are interchangeable.
You can put pasta topping on a pizza, you can put pizza topping on rice, you can put toastie fillings on a potato waffle and it always ends up nice.
You can do anything, and all of those are edible, but pizza topping on rice? Oh man…
I actually don’t mind pineapple on pizza, but let me say that after reading this post I understand the haters if this is how they see it
