My friends family runs a little pizza place in Naples, woodfired, hole in the wall. Everything is bought fresh at the markets, or grown. They do alright.

I know 5 Italian chefs who would beat you to death for saying Pizza is american. They have been cooking Pizza in Naples for about 300 years, at least.

Pizza in Italy is pretty fantastic, but it's not actually Italian, it's reverse imported from the U.S. Also it's more of an appetizer than a main meal, so idiots maybe?

What the gently caress are you talking about? Napoli claims to be the birthplace of pizza, and I believe them. Totally different to anything in the US. And they serve very thin 15 -20 inch pizzas by default, definitely a main course, if a rather informal one.

He's talking about the pizza in the form of Pizza Hut or Domino's or whatever. Italian pizza is NOT your traditional American Pizza (which is generally what you think of when you think pizza) by a long shot, and is in fact not nearly as good as literally everything else in Northern or Southern Italian cuisine.

Going to Italy for the Pizza is like coming to America for the Grilled Cheese Sandwiches - aka loving retarded.

I suppose he could be correct if you restrict your definition of pizza to that fat greasy topping layered obscenity that deluded people refer to as pizza in America, and specifically exclude actual pizza.

i would restrict my definition because a paper thin layer of dough with huge 1/4 chunks of tomato and cheese on top is not a pizza even if they have been making it in that wrong way for 300 years. Like would you whine that cave paintings are the REAL way to make art since they did it in such a screwed up and bad way a long time ago? Come on. Call Dominoes.

It's a bit like when British people put together a concoction of minced beef, onions, mushrooms and cumin and attempt to call it chilli. They can call it whatever they like, but it isn't chilli. The crap served as pizza in most of the world isn't pizza.

There are fairly specific rules that define what a pizza is, and there is an organization that certifies establishments that meet them. Proper pizzas are vastly superior to horrible greasy concoctions with 15 bazillion toppings. Personally, I don't visit any establishment that doesn't adhere to those regulations exactly.

Man, gently caress franchise pizza joints and gently caress "artisanal" pizzas. If it doesn't come from a Mom and Pop hole in the wall with dead flies in the fluorescents and grease on the floor I don't even wanna hear about it.

It probably wouldn't affect your enjoyment of this show too much, but Arrow is a drat good show on its own merits. It's definitely worth a watch; just keep in mind that it has a weak opening and you'll be fine.

Well there's going to be a crossover episode later in the season; but given that Arrow is pretty much the best show on television catching up would be an absolute good in its own right.

As an authority on this subject I agree Italian pizza sucks.

However that's not exactly common knowledge and a lot of people think it must be great in Italy, so my ruling is the scene is Fine.

Yeah when I was in Rome 4 years ago pizza was definitely main course. Really good pizza btw, I didn't know the italian for plain pizza, so I got mushroom pizza instead. Top of the line.

What really needs to come to America is cibata bread with black olives embedded in them, that was sooooo go :btroll:
