    I’ve been to Italy many times (wife’s from there). Yes the pizza is amazing. Yes in almost every case. Yes they do not understand pineapple on pizza.

    But they are wrong. Those fuckers sometimes put boiled eggs and shit on there which ruin it.

    Just because somewhere invests something doesn’t mean they have ultimate and final say. Hamburgers came from Germany and I know our fatasses got those things perfected here.

      Tomatoes are not native to Italy. They were imported from Central America to Italy by the Spanish.

      Next time a dumbass Italian tries to gate keep pizza, remind them of this fact: Tomatoes are American. And watch them go nuclear.

        Knowledge is knowing tomatoes are a fruit, wisdom is not putting them in fruit salad.

        Pizza has historically had fruit on it. There are wallpaintings in Pompei depicting it. Pizza has historically had pretty much everything on it.

          Man I remember some nasty scrolling sessions visiting that sub, the opposite ones, and the rest of the US Vs EU corners of Reddit. Really riled me up that stuff, made sure not to sub to these topics because they get real toxic real fast. The SAS one was the mildest though and you could get a good laugh but I’d find outraged Americans in the comments, follow their profile and end up in /conservative or worse, following some morbid curiosity.

    One of the best pizzas I’ve eaten had wood roasted pineapple with smoked duck, jalapenos, tomatoes and mozzarella.

      Lost me at the duck but pineapple, pepperoni, Canadian bacon, jalepenos, and olives is my jam.

      Sweet and spicy is such a solid combination.

        Why is it called Canadian bacon anyway? In Canada, we’d call that “ham”. Bacon is bacon!

            Hey you guys aren’t innocent of adulterating foods either, just look at your ketchup-flavored potato chips. Then ship them all to PEI and throw them in the ocean because they are disgusting.

          I’m with you except I substitute the jalapenos with banana peppers. I’ve never been a fan of jalapenos though. I find something in their flavor strange.

            I’m not a fan of banana peppers interestingly enough, although I do sometimes substitute the jalapenos for green peppers at times when I’m feeling concerned about heartburn or something like that…

            It’s equally good that way too, IMHO.

          This discussion (along with a push notification from Domino’s about having enough points for a free pizza) inspired me to have this for dinner tonight even… 😂

    I recently saw a TV commercial for Little Caesars Pizza, where they’re now offering a limited-edition pineapple-flavored Pepsi as part of a meal deal. That way, you can have your pineapple flavor without necessarily pissing off the “no pineapple on pizza” purists among those you’re sharing the pizza with.

    Whether anyone will like pineapple-flavored Pepsi is up for debate.

    Pizza is the Westoid version of sushi. Both are actually simple peasant food that were needlessly glorified. Pizza is just bread with stuff on it stuck together by melted cheese. Is chees on toast a high cuisine? No. Neither is pizza. Put whatever you want on your bread.

      I feel like putting random toppings on flat bread during baking is probably the oldest cuisine imaginable, going back to caveman days many thousands of years ago. No doubt cameman-gordon ramsay (who is the same person as modern gordon ramsay) would have some mean thing to say about it though.

          You are aware though what is good and what is not. The easiest way i know to make memes is using the app Meme Generator. I bought it years ago and it continues to serve me well to this day.

            Just because I don’t make my own memes means I’m not able to talk freely about others I see? Come on now, everyone’s allowed an opinion, and it’s this is a forum/message board for discussing and voicing your opinion. That’s literally the point of this site

              Yes, it is, but if your comment just boils down to “this sucks”, expect to be called out for being nonconstructive.

        No, it’s not bad. Just finding that there is a lot of Facebook boomer memes and just older style memes here instead of actual original content. But this is also for shitposting so I’m moreso yelling into the wind for fun

    Does any other culture get so stupidly defensive over their food like Italians? If you paid for it you can put anything dumbass thing you want on your pizza.
