Subreddit Rules

Keep It European

Memes should be relevant to Europe, Europeans, or European culture. Off-topic memes will be removed.

No Hate Speech or Bigotry

Racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, and other forms of hate speech are strictly prohibited. Satire is welcome, but not at the expense of marginalized groups.

No Spam or Self-Promotion

Don’t flood the sub with your own content or links. Participate genuinely.

English Preferred, but Multilingual Welcome

While English is the main language, memes in other European languages are allowed if the humor is clear or a translation is provided.

Be Kind and Constructive

Disagreements happen, but keep discussions civil. Personal attacks, trolling, or harassment will result in bans.

its kinda funny my wife has no issue with margherita but you get a standard pepporoni and all of them have to be perfectly evenly spaced.

I tried pizzas from a few countries and didn't find Italian pizza very appealing, it is basically just dough with tomato sauce

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah fuck that; I need a metric assload of mozzarella or it's not a pizza as far as I'm concerned. Toss on an extra heaping of ricotta, pile on the toppings, and I'm in heaven.

More appealing doesn't mean better overall. Also, there is a tonn of different pizza styles. To have a fair comparison you need to compare similar pizzas, not different. Here it is like comparing a Husky and Labrador dogs with both grown in different locations, while you should compare 1 dog breed grown in different locations.

Can't say I'm a massive fan of the Globs of mozzarella either.

Same. This is what I think of when I hear Italian pizza:

Esterica is not flavor

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 1 points 3 weeks ago

A lot of Italian pizza doesn't even have tomato sauce.

An oil drizzle around the edge of the crust fries and browns the crust on typical American pizzas. Also wood fired ovens can cause a grey crust

Americans dont have access to the quality of ingredients that Italians have

[–] Dearth@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That's ridiculous. Tomatoes are native to the Americas

[–] Juice@midwest.social 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

All American food tastes like Monsanto. The quality of Italian food is objectively better.

[–] Dearth@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Maybe when you live in a state that can only grow corn. But if you live in a place that can and does grow everything, and then are served food grown withing a few hours drive from where it was harvested, you wouldn't be saying such ridiculous nonsense.

[–] Juice@midwest.social 0 points 5 days ago

Whatever you say, Monsanto

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip -1 points 3 weeks ago

Perfectly round pizza is off-putting to me. And I'm an American.

[–] stumu415@lemmy.zip -4 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

The picture on the right is not a pizza.

[–] Thteven@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

You're not a pizza

[–] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago

Ok what traits disqualify it?
