You guys are going to have your minds blown if you ever go to Italy

Lol, I love all pizza, even shit pizza. Nothing like a 3am grease slab from the kebabbery which would make an Italian spit at you!

No kebab shop ever sells anything on the level of Detroit or other unique styles of pizza in the US. I guarantee it.

It's almost like recipes evolve, and a dish created before tomatoes were brought to Europe might have different variants.

Yeah I know, it's just amusing that Twitter OP could envision the concept of different types of American pizza but still ignored all of Italy

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Italian pizza is basically an entirely different dish at this point. It happens. American pizza isn't somehow less valid for having drastically changed from the original thing. It was, after all, brought here by Italian immigrants.

The wild thing is, what's often thought of as Italian pizza isn't even really older than American pizza.
It's generally regarded as being created around 1890, and the first American pizza parlor opened in 1905.

There's lots of different regional Italian pizzas. Americans only seem to know the Naples style though for some reason.

I've been to Italy. Still really love Detroit style pizza. When I was in Italy (late '90s), none of us realized that pepperoni was an English name that didn't exist in Italy. We got a pizza with a bunch of kinds of peppers on it at this place in Rome. Was still great, though.

Pfft what could they know about pizza

^^^^/s

Maybe I've been to the wrong Italy, but tried pizza in Milan and on Rome and both were very underwhelming.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I imagine like everywhere there are good places and shit places to buy food

[–] droans 0 points 1 year ago

Except Florida.

Florida pizzas are garbage.

You should specifically look for places with Neapolitan pizza, it's by far the best

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

If I ever go back to Italy, I will!

[–] uienia 1 points 1 year ago

They should try pizza al taglio in Rome. That is a great way to get inspired with regards to toppings on pizza.

[–] uienia 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean you had pizza at one place in those cities. You haven't tried them all.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Not one place, I remember this one place specifically.

But yes, I'm aware my sample size is small. So what. As a tourist you have a subjective view of what you experience in a country, unless you're one of the people glued to Google Maps reviews and waiting in lines to Michelin restaurants.
