Why do americans have such big hangups over eating pizza with utensils. I mean they do that in Italy and I can't really say there's a higher authority on pizza, aside from turkish immigrants running swedish pizzerias.

they cut it but there's also usually silverware on the tables so people can self identify as big dumb babies.

They also server other things than just straight pizza, usually.

100%

Italian pizza, and most other of their stuff, is not the same Italian you get, or at least used to get, in the US. Our stuff originated from immigrants who didn't have the old world stuff to work with so they made due with what they had. That's how you got a lot of Americanized foreign food.

Sometimes it's better.

Eh, its like comparing drip coffee to espresso. Both can be nice when done well with good ingredients and attention to procedure, but despite similar ingredients they're not the same thing. A good NY style slice is lovely, and an AVPN pizza can be mediocre depending on where you get it, but I'd not be comparing them side by side. Italians know this too, and sell some extremely cursed pizzas:

Guys, guys! We're allowing partisanship to tear this thread apart. Let us come together to acknowledge that bad pizza can come from anywhere just as good pizza can, set aside our utensil differences, and gawp at this kiwi fruit pizza together.

That's the spirit.

The frustrating limitation of a thread like this is that we can never be conclusive about whether these pizzas taste good. We can be 99% sure, but let's not fall for the trap of judging by looks alone.
