Italians have great raw ingredients, if only somebody would teach them how to use them.

    Okay, I’m going to be that guy because I don’t see it being pointed out already.

    That’s not actual Italian pizza, it’s still an Americanized version.

    Real Italian pizza is so thin you have to eat it with a fork and knife and it’s meant for one person, not to share. The one in the picture is still way too thick to be real Italian.

    But real Italian pizza in Italy really is on another level. It’s so god damned good, it makes all pizza in America look like cardboard with sauce.

      Exactly, plus it’s usually cheap as hell too, along with being mind blowing-ly good.

      Not everyone gets the chance to go to Italy though, so just enjoy the pizza and op should stop gate keeping a delicious food.

        I’m not gatekeeping, I’m countering the papist menace known as “single serve” pizzas.

        It’s part of the anti-Freemason plot to prevent us eating communally in order to reduce obesity amongst alter boys.

      “Real italian pizza is so thin” Yeah that’s just not true, there are many different types of Italian pizza, the most standard of which is like the one pictured. The form varies in popularity by region.

      The one on the left was by an Italian in an Italian cultural zone known as new Amsterdam (fucking hipsters changing the names of everything).

        I’m Italian, can confirm that that pizza looks like a correct napolitan style pizza
