    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!

        NY style pizza also isn’t anything particularly amazing. New Yorkers are just louder about it, like with everything they do.

          Yeah I’ll die on the Dayton style pizza hill. But seriously most people who come from somewhere with its own style of pizza love that style. For a non hometown favorite Chicago bar style (not deep dish) is excellent.

        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.

        Asian noodles and italian pasta evolved independently. It’s a myth that Marco Polo brought the recipe home.

      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.
