California Pizza Kitchen is bad. One of the best pizzas I've ever had was in California. It had sheep cheese and honey on it.

I thought 'Sicilian' style pizza was supposed to be the pizza abomination. But then I like California Pizza Kitchen so I'm probably just ignorant. :sigh:

To anyone who thinks California pizza is bad, you've obviously never had Japanese pizza. Whole lotta things that have no business being together to begin with, much less on a pizza.

How about Sushi Pizza from a now-closed Japanese restaurant

Sushi on pizza sounds like something that would work okay as a concept, though. I mean it's fish meat, so it shouldn't be that different from tuna on a pizza.

Asian food has a rich and amazing history but for some reason when like every Asian country saw pizza they just lost their mind and we have poo poo like korean mayo pizzas and that shrimp seafood abortion and poo poo. From looking at poo poo that gets posted online and all they never had that happen with stuff like fast food burgers aside from doing things like making huge ones or using squid ink to make black buns or something, but for some reason pizza made like half the Asian chefs that saw it go "WAIT WHAT THE gently caress IS THIS"

As bad as it sounds, here's how it gets even worse - at least in Thailand. Mayo here is not mayo as we think of it, it's more like British style salad cream, but with a shitload of sugar added. Now imagine that as the sauce on your pizza.

Thankfully, this place opened in the last couple of years and is basically the first 100% legit good pizza in Bangkok:

EDIT: Also, Thai domestic pizza all comes with ketchup packets and Thai people, generally speaking, douse the poo poo out of the ridiculous pizza they order with ketchup. It's all tragicomic to watch.

EDIT EDIT: And their ketchup produced for domestic consumption has - wait for it - tons of sugar added.

EDIT EDIT EDIT: Thai pizza is basically a crime against humanity and should result in some sort of Truth & Reconciliation Commission at minimum. That is all. Back to work.

That's what confuses me! Like, I can kinda see how a seafood gangbang pizza happens, you're a dude who makes seafood, you think of pizza as a big 'oh yea I can put whatever on top right' thing, bam that happens.

But who looks at a pizza and goes 'I should put nasty rear end mayo on this'?

Bombay Pizza Co. right? The Slumdog is my jam over there.

See that's how you do this stuff right. It's great, it has a unique sauce, on unique bread (not sure if it's naan proper or what), with a blend of toppings that reflects the chef's home, but it's still pizza, when I look at it and eat it I still go 'gently caress this pizza rules'.

There's a "Pizza and Curry" place in my hometown which I'm given to believe is pretty good; I guess tandoori chicken would work on a pizza, but I never bothered since there was a really good Indo-Pak restaurant a few blocks down. http://www.pizzaandcurry.com/category/gourmet-desi-indian-pizzas/

My (Vietnamese) mom used to make these omelet type things of egg, shrimp, onions, mushrooms, and cilantro. No bread anywhere, and you dipped in fish sauce.

She called it pizza. Don't get me wrong it was good but I'm pretty sure the English translation of banh xeo is not pizza

Not to distract from the :barf: of the rest of your post, and from that shrimp pizza ad, but Heinz has a bunch of added sugar as well. Unless, their ketchup remains sugary even in comparison?

The burgers can get pretty weird too. MOS Burger definitely stretches the definition of what you and I might consider a burger, but at least some of them are pretty good.

Also it's hard to get mad about other countries ruining the great gift of pizza when here in the US I can order a cheeseburger pizza (cheese, beef, onions, ketchup, mustard) from a local place or go to Subway and get a "flatizza."

E: I should clarify that yeah there's nothing wrong with beef and onions on a pizza but ketchup and mustard just do not work.

Wow, I thought having an Indian/Italian restaurant in my area was some sort of unique thing but I guess it isn't.

I can get pizza anywhere, but I can't get a giant bowl of take-out chicken vindaloo anywhere else. They do have a chicken curry pizza that I had once and was okay.

You know what's good if you haven't had it? Japanese tonkatsu curry rice. I never saw it until I lived in Asia and now it's one of my favorites (the Cocoichibanya super-spicy variety is crack rock - and I never feel this way about chain food).
