I also grew up very poor, but I can’t respect any of the thick crust pizza I’ve had so far in my life. Thin pizza has that perfect crunch to the crust…so I’d obviously choose what’s better for me, other than wasting the pizza.

[@toufusoup]

@@aus-li I get that. Personally I really don’t like hardcore seasonings on crusts like a super oily brush of garlic or something. But, well, point still stands for me, if someone offers me pizza, I’ll probably eat it anyway, given that it wasn’t fished out of the garbage or defecated on.

[@aus-li]

@@toufusoup That’s fair. Although I don’t think you’ve tried enough pizza, lol. I’ve had pizza where the crust was like cardboard; or literally all the cheese fell off the pizza when I picked it up, leaving nothing but little touches of “tomato sauce”.

What they are describing with the lasagna is usually referred to as “letting the flavors meld.” Certain foods benefit from a long sit, and lasagna is one of those foods. It allows the flavors of the layers to intermingle and become more cohesive. This same principle usually applies to soups, which is why restaurants often make their soups the day before and then reheat them.

Garnet is confusing oil with moisture. The drip is the fresh mozzarella and tomato sauce reduction that happens during cooking.

[@benstoyles1297]

They go light on the ingredients because the dough/cheese/meat all cook through at different temperatures and stonebaked ovens are way hotter than normal and commercial ovens. Overload it and the dough won't cook properly, but at lower temps all the ingredients can cook through. Some places in Italy will part cook the dough first, then add the sauce/toppings and put it back in the oven. Stone baked ovens are 400-500C, commercial ovens 300-350C and domestic are usually 200C.

[@stephenshields4095]

You have to understand America has a rich Italian history. New York and New Jersey have massive Italian American immigrants that brought over traditional Italian tastes and adapted them to a new world. So while it may not be “traditional “ to people from Italy , it’s a by product of that culture. America popularized pizza , we may not have invented it but we loved it so much that it became what we were known for and each region has its own style.

[@stevenmark4407]

@@stephenshields4095 very well said. Some people forget how much Italians blesses up early America we just later added America stuff to it making it our own. We all know Italy got some fire pizza and theirs is more traditional. That doesn’t mean US pizza isn’t good too.

[@dzhiurgis]

its pretty normal for someone to invent something and someone else to perfect it like Australians invented sheep skin condoms and kiwis perfected them by removing them from sheep

[@MissDarknSpooky]

American pizza is very filling, usually oily/greasy, but very cohesive and can be eaten with one hand. The sauce is slightly sweet and the cheese has a touch of that parm nutty ness going on. Pepperoni is the most commonly adored topping but they are all honestly good. This obviously varries depending on where you buy the pizza. For instance Dominos tends to be super garlicky. But yeah, American pizza is incredible. If I had to choose one food to eat for the rest of my life it would probably be pizza due to sheer variety and consistency. America does great pizza.

From my understanding, the dripping comes from bad pizza places. Usually because they have to much water in their ingredients (150gr meat + 50gr Water costs the same as 200gr meat...), so if you get like a meatlover pizza and it drips, they just use cheap meat. A pizza place where i grew up piled the meat on top of the pizza and it was still dry (not to try, just not one drop of grease or anything)

[@icarusmarioFAN]

@@TheArdomur The worst places are the ones where the grease is practically the topping and it's all you taste.

I can't even IMAGINE going to a pizza place because they advertise that their pizza is super greasy... Like, dang dude, the grease is an unfortunate side effect of toppings, not the reason for eating the pizza. If your pizza has a lot of meat and cheese, there WILL be grease, but it should NOT be DRIPPING OFF THE PIZZA! The WORST you should see is some oil pooled in the pepperoni after it has curled up into a bowl shape, and even that should be removed with a paper towel or something before being served.

[@ConnerTravis1998]

I’m definitely more on the stone cooked Italian side when it comes too pizza mostly because of how light it is and the char flavour you get on the dough is too die for. I definitely like other types of pizzas too but if you gave me the choice stone cooked Italian style is my personal choice (plus if it does get cold it still taste good compared too the other types of pizza, still doesn’t beat freshly cooked warm pizza though)

[@ael371]

Ok guys time for some cleareance: Napolian style pizza refers more to the Toppings of the pizza then the stove used. i visited italy multiple times , ate extremly good food there, but there are really on three major influences on pizza style: deep dish, napolian (New york style) and sizilian. Deep dish comes from chigaco and cant be called a pizza in my opinion anymore. thin style is what is commonly known in europe as a pizza the concept of deep dish pizza only reached us with the internet really , and god bless for that. the wood vs stone based thing is just based on preference really.It does make a difference , but it boils down to if you like smokiness with your pizza or not . you like over open flame grilled meat? you will prefer the wood burned pizza , if both are done corectly. the stone can also be replaced nowadays with a electrical oven.The stone was just used to maintain higher tempatures and a even cookling surface, which was quiete hard to do otherwise in 1870 but is easy accomplished with modern day applicanes specialised for that purpose. thats also why there are pizza stones for the oven: pizza needs higher tempatures then most dishes ,so shove something in there that retains heat, and you have a higher tempature cooking surface

10:12 "Chicago-style deep-dish pizza is a lasagna pie." Some categorize it as a casserole, some New Yorkers view that regional pizza variant as a personal affront. As seen in this old Jon Stewart Deep Dish Rant on the Daily Show: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHTKioB8qd2Ii9k New York is home to America’s best pizza. “Daily Show” host Jon Stewart spoke this absolute truth after whining Chicagoans got their windy city in a bunch over One World Trade Center’s freshly minted status as North America’s tallest structure. In response, delusional Chicagoans were quick to state their sadly misguided belief that Second City deep dish pizza is superior to New York’s thin crust. That’s when Stewart lost it. “OK I was going to be nice but now you’ve gone too far,” Stewart said in his faux Italian-American persona. “Let me explain something, deep dish pizza is not only not better than New York pizza, it’s not pizza. It’s a f-king casserole!” Stewart took particular offense to Chicago’s unholy practice of putting sauce on top of the cheese in their pathetic version of pie. “It’s a cornbread biscuit which you’ve melted cheese on and then - in defiance of God and man and all things holy - you poured uncooked marinara sauce atop the cheese. Atop!” Stewart screamed. “The sauce, naked, cold on display like some sort of sauce whore!” Stewart even compared eating Chicago pizza to necrophilia. “You know the expression there’s no such thing as bad sex or bad pizza? Your [Chicago] pizza is like sex with a corpse made of sand paper!” the political humorist said. “Let me tell you something, this is not pizza This is tomato soup in a bread bowl. This is an above-ground marinara swimming pool for rats!”

[@japzone]

As someone who grew up in the US near more Italian-American restaurants than you could realistically visit on a regular basis, I always find overseas discussions about pizza, especially "American Pizza", fascinating. They get some of the basics right, like New York Style having thin crust and Chicago being a deep dish loaded with toppings, but then other things that really feel like somebody slapped random "American" things together and sold that as "American Pizza". For example, hot dog crust; I've never encountered it. Might've been a special thing at Pizza Hut at some point, but never when I visited, and it's definitely not an American classic. From what I understand, Pizza Hut Japan actually popularized it, and then Pizza Hut UK made a variation, which explains Conner encountering it and being able to continue enjoying it despite moving to a different country. As for my preferred style, because of my environment growing up in actually pretty flexible, everything from stone cooked to Chicago deep dish, though I'll always have a soft spot for New York Style Pepperoni Pizza.

[@ringringbananarchy]

I always think of the old saying about italian cooking...has more to do with pasta than pizza, but it goes something like "Only Italians would steal the tomato from the Americans and pasta from China, and then have the gall to tell everyone else they are doing it wrong."

And I'm half Italian and spent years living in Italy, Italian pizza overall isn't that good, pizza as we know it today was really created by Italian immigrants living in NYC. The Italian style is either Roman style (which I don't like) or Neopolitan style, which is good, but it all pretty much tastes the same. There is nothing more satisfying than having a well made, New York style pie. Respect.

[@lordbeerus578]

I wonder if they've had California-Style Pizza. I think it's the perfect fusion between typical American pizza and Napoli.

[@UhtredSonOfUhtred_]

Is it light dough and crust with a lot of toppings? I only know about California Pizza Kitchen.

[@lordbeerus578]

@@UhtredSonOfUhtred_ California Pizza Kitchen created the style back in the 80s, and it started chains with similar pizza to CPK and eventually the gourmet industry picked it up.

[@adam346]

LoL Garnt... you got this one backwards, Italians didn't give a damn about pizza.. it was literally made by Italians for Americans who then took it back to the US to make it big. Yes, it was a thing in Italy for a really long time.. but it was never seen as much more than street food and was never heralded as like an iconic dish or anything. Americans made it what it is today. And then a Canadian put pineapple on it and has been a decisive topic ever since.

[@ToastyMozart]

Hell really early pizza was a side-product of bakers throwing in a flat bit of dough to cool down the surface of the oven to normal baking temperature.

[@misake]

Um... pineapple is not really a "Canadian" topping... I know Ontario does it and maybe more west too. Québec it's rare to have it on pizza, but it can be asked for. Made a mistake once in Ontario and asked for an "All Dressed" 🤢 All dressed in Québec has cheese, pepperoni, mushrooms and green peppers... Ontario, they take it literally...

[@STPromosMusic]

I mean, as an Italian I can understand how you may think we don't put enough toppings, but I'll tell you immediately it's because you didn't try pizza in other cities/restaurants, the variety is pretty nice, some times I want more crust, some times I want a mountain of toppings, it depends where you go and what you ask for, even different dough types : P Also, Pizza Hut is good, I don't care if other Italians think I'm a traitor, I'm not very patriotic anyways, every pizza style has its place, just go with what your stomach asks you that day : )

I've been in the restaurant industry for about 4 years. I could tell you that if someone enjoys your work and they've loved their meal, it is the greatest complement you will ever get. I love cooking at home more than ever. My fiance loves my cooking and dishes don't seem to be harder to clean as they were. It really is a blessing to know how to cook cuz you're not so dependent on others. I'm not in the industry now, but it has gave me more independence and I needed it.

[@andrewkrahn2629]

Has Garnt tried Detroit pizza? There might be a Jet's near where they go in Wisconsin. It's a thick, pillowy crust that's basically fried in a deep rectangular pan. No crust, just caramelized cheese.

[@modder15]

We need to have them all try every style pizza now. Detroit style, New York style, California Style, Brooklyn Style and Chicago style.

[@chunkylover123ish]

I like how they talk about Italian pizza , and mention pepperoni pizza. Italians don't put "pepperoni" on their pizza. That is 100% American. Pretty sure they only have had American pizza.

[@markkeys]

Eh that’s wrong , pizza with salame ( which is pepperoni ) is pretty popular

[@S4ndree1104]

We do have pepperoni pizza with spicy salami, we call It "Diavola". We also have sliced wurstel pizza called "viennese" because wurstel were Brought from Vienna

[@TKnightcrawler]

I mean, if they dab off the oil, the oil's not in the pizza anymore. The thing is about Italian pizza is that a lot of the stuff they do, they do for its appearance. Putting 3 fresh basil leaves on a pizza looks wonderful, but it'd be like throwing a few raw lettuce leaves on top of curry rice. The texture of raw basil is just a total mismatch for bread or cheese. If an American pizzeria wanted to add the taste of basil in their pizza, they'd just cook the tomato sauce with basil, or they'd glaze the crust with basil-infused butter right before it finished cooking, because both of those are a more enjoyable experience than eating a fresh basil leaf on a pizza. And the cheese of a "real" Italian pizza is so splotchy and inconsistent; American pizzerias would try to find what the best bite of a pizza is like, and make the whole pizza like that. That's why we make sure the whole pizza has cheese.

[@hicksle2289]

Yup now I want to see them try all the different types of pizzas because there’s more than New York, Deep Dish, Stuffed Crust, and stone baked.

[@2ndThought_]

Garnt is saying "I hear you Italians", but, iirc, pizza is actually a creation of the Italian-American population in NYC.

[@JezzaWezza]

So on the topic of different crusts. Here in australia for a little while Dominoes was doing a Garlic Bread crust for pizzas and it was amazing, like you'd be eating the pizza and then when you've reached the crust your greeted a nice piece of garlic bread crust to eat and give a taste change before the next slice it was really nice whilst it was available.

[@SpootyMcGee]

One thing I heard about food tasting better the second day is that you spend day one taking in all the smells and flavors while cooking, so your senses are kind of desensitized when you finally eat. Day two enough time has passed your senses have reset and you can enjoy is from a different perspective.

[@hyena280]

Food settles better after a day. When you make a few types of cakes, they need a day to set (cheesecake, Caprese cake, tiramisu). Lasagna and spaghetti, these kinds of foods definitely taste better the next day.

There's so many types of American pizza. And foreigners always forget how diverse America is. New York style is authentic Italian pizza. It was originally brought over by Italian immigrants. Chicago also has its own style of pizza (the original deep dish). Then there's Pizza from Italy which is usually Margherita, Neapolitan, And Sicilian which are based on different regions in Italy.

I mean the most popular chains where I'm at bake their Pizza on bricks ovens so is basically a stone oven. Also cheese is full of oil that's what it's making that oil on top you don't see it in fresh wet mozzarella because the water leaks out before the oil

[@feyntmistral1110]

Stone baked is unequivocally the best. To be absolutely clear: Most pizza is great. It's pretty hard to make bad pizza. But if I had my choice of a wood fired, stone baked pizza or something from Dominos? I'd take the stone baked option unless I knew the people making it were terrible at it. Also I can't get behind a hotdog baked into the crust of a pizza. Proper sausage maybe, I could even see pepperoni if we're entertaining the idea, but not a hotdog.

[@Mate397]

Have you seen the stuff some people did on Kitchen Nightmares or Hotel Hell? Trust me people find a way to make bad pizza.

You think Italians aren't dripping oil on their stone baked pizza? IMO the new world style is better, but what matters most is dropping cash on ingredients, so classic Italian pizza wins.

Original NY pizza is relatively Italian pizza since it was introduced by immigrants. I remember watching a short documentary that the Italian family stated that they make those types of pizza and pasta is because of abundance of ingredients. They could not add meatballs on spaghetti because of lack of ingredients in the old country as they put it.

To be fair... here in Germany there's a million of turkush Döner places where you can get a pretty decent pizza. I only tried one original Italian pizza from a family that came here recently and everything fell apart immediately...

Pan pizza is superior. It's heft and the oil it fries in gives the dough amazing flavor while also keeping it moist instead of a dry cardboard texture.

If your Pizza dough tasted like dry cardboard before, then you never ate a proper Pizza. If you want flavor: the real wood, light smoke and flames that cook your Pizza in under 3 Minutes will baffle your mind.
