[@dilepii7097]

I'm Italian and I can say Joey is right. In nothern Italy the most popular pizza type is called "pizza in teglia", giganteous, thicc, with double cheese and at least five different toppings over. Then there's the Roman pizza "alla pala", long, crunchy, with more bread than sauce, served in pieces, with a lot of toppings . The Neapolitan one with thin dough and large "cornicione" and so on. Where do you eat pizza in Italy makes a big difference in taste and experience (and we have domino's pizza in some cities). You can prefer American or other countries' pizzas, but you cannot compare pizzas made in pizzeria to pizzas made in fast foods like little caesar's. The difference in quality of the ingredients, cooking, and added chemicals for flavour is too much.

[@lorenzz2144]

I don't think pizza alla teglia is more poupolar by any mean, it's like another type of food like focaccia, yes evreyone likes It but evreyone prefer the og

[@dilepii7097]

There's no original style of pizza in Italy, that's the fact. The Neapolitan one is the most famous worldwide but every regione has its variants. Where I live now (Lombardy) even when not choosing pizza in teglia people tend to prefer pizza with more than three different toppings. Almost no one picks a Margherita/plain cheese.

Stone baked isn't even one thing, it's TWO - wood-fired and coal-fired. And those aren't types of pizza, it's the cooking method. And "American" isn't a pizza style either. Chicago deep dish, Chicago TAVERN style, NY style, Detroit, Grandma pizza, New Haven, Stuffed Pizza (NOT stuffed crust or deep dish, it's its own style). That's just off the top of my head.

Yes, plus all of the different types of pizza in America were made by Italian Americans adapting their cuisine to what was available locally. American pizza is absolutely real Italian pizza in the same way a California roll is real sushi. America is a nation of immigrants and that is incredibly clear in their culinary culture. Burgers are German, Spaghetti is an Italian/Chinese fusion, Pizza is Italian, California rolls are Japanese, American Chinese food is adaptations of traditional Chinese dishes, bagels are Jewish, and so much more.

You can't really say your standard bowl of white rice is the same as Chinese egg fried rice, Puertorican guisao/mamposteao, Spanish paella, the way Mexico confections their rice to put it with their dishes, etc. These boys need to taste more rice dishes, cause that statement is just outright incorrect.

[@lisinuthu6376]

Strongly agree. Garnt opinion is so on spot. I mean, bread is not just "pour water in and cook", at least it need yeast or sugar, etc. If they want to compare, a straight up bread without any of that, just pure "baked from flour and water", is much more equivalent. And bread like that of course tastes the same, just like a bowl of rice. I appriciated bread, and in my country, bread in the morning is okay, but they saying "Rice doesn't have a lot of diversity" is absurd :) still love the bois tho

[@MatthewCJoy]

You misunderstand. They were saying diffently prepared white rice tastes almost the same, shit like adding vinegar and adding other stuff isn't preparing something differently it's adding diffent ingredients. Meanwhile slight differences in how the exact same piece bread of bread was prepared can taste pretty different. Hell the altitude of where you cook it and temperature at which you cook it can change how it tastes. Rice and bread aren't nearly on the same level, and that was the point of the argument.

[@MatthewCJoy]

@@lisinuthu6376 you're wildly underestimating bread. There's a reason there is Bakeries and not the same equivalent for rice.

[@srikrishnabhat6793]

Even without preparation there is a huge difference in white rice.. Govindo Bhog tastes different from Basmati which tastes different from Sona Masoori which tastes different from Arborio. You can't use Basmati rice for say a Sambar based meal (or you could but the taste is absolutely different). Similarly, you would use Basmati rice for a Biryani, but Sona Masoori is a bad idea. You won't use either of the above generally for Risottos although I guess you can try it with Sona Masoori.

[@srikrishnabhat6793]

@@MatthewCJoy I would disagree because bakeries are a Europe specific thing (not that we don't have it in Asia, but origins are from Europe and the middle east). Also, I think the comparison should be between grains, i.e., rice and wheat. Differently prepared white rice definitely don't taste the same. You can also have bread equivalents made from Rice involving the fermentation process. Take Dosa and Idli for example.

TBH I like both, I can get behind eating American style without having a huge fuss like most Italians do. Even things like Hawaiian pizza (with pineapple and ham), I can enjoy because I like trying different things. However I personally see italian styled pizza to be a more refined dish. Not to discredit American pizza, it's good, it also has it's culture and it's heritage in American history, but I see it more as a party food then something I would sit down and order at a restaurant. They're two different vibes. Edit: Time to get italian smartass here, it's kinda dumb to say Italian style pizza is "stone" pizza and American is oven pizza, because both are made in ovens. You don't put the pizza on a hot stone and just leave it on a counter. Also there's a huge varity between different types of pizzas in Italy.

My issue with Garnt's defense of "stonebaked pizza" is that stonebaked is merely the technique used to cook it whereas Connor's defense about American pizza is delving more into the toppings and structure. They're essentially having two different arguments. You can take a napolitan (as garnt should be calling it) pizza and cook it in a pizza hut oven, and it will be kind of shit pizza. But you can also take an american pizza hut pizza and stonebake it, and it will only elevate it and make it better. So yeah, connor is definitely in the right. Italian pizza sucks mainly because of the toppings. They usually just toss the toppings and put like clumps of cheese, leaving you with entire gaps with nothing but tomato. At least american pizza shreds the cheese and distributes it evenly, same with toppings. Maybe Italian pizza uses fresher ingredients, but i prefer the better structure and distribution of american stuff.

[@rangered_64]

I think it's mainly because Italians don't wish for their pizzas to be heavy, which is why its thin and their toppings aren't as much as American pizzas, similar to reason to their dough. And I do believe that the ingredients for Italian pizzas are fresh besides the dough. For me personally, if I wish to have a big buss, I'll eat an NY pizza. If I wish to eat something light alongside having a heavy meal, Italian style.

Actually many things can impact your taste on food, expectations and the professionalism of the chefs.

Also everyone has different taste buds so it’s not right or wrong about the food you like, just appreciate everyone’s opinions and receive fair criticism.

[@Saito57G]

That's true - also Connor made a valid point about price. If you can get a good meal (in their opinion) for 5$ or you can get meal of similar taste for 20$ then due to psychology you are going to kinda degrade the more expensive food for not being worth its price and will put the cheaper option on the pedestal. Cause sometimes even if the food is good the price makes it feel less enjoyable and makes you feel kind of guilty, so in the process you project the guilt onto the meal in form of lower rating.

[@Giacuzz]

@@Saito57G Well an important point is that the price is often based on the quality of ingredients. A pizza for 5$ is cause it's a fast food and you can expect bad quality of ingredients, and the usage of chemical shit to make the taste better. Maybe the taste is better than a 13$ pizza you get in a good italian pizzeria but it's not about taste.

The baker said: Croissant Auntie replied with another question: With? Baker: Nothing, its just plain old Croissant. The auntie just walked away. After that day, the German baker did not have any business at all for the longest time. However, only after he started adding stuff on it such as Tuna and whatnot to his Croissant, only he begun having business. So I would say this is very much a cultural difference thing. To the most of us, eating an entire meal with nothing but bread is very much just eating a whole loaf of store bought bread as a full meal, and that is equivalent to having only plain rice as a meal. Well this was a story I heard like 10 years ago, and I would say in general, we are already begun to love just having a good bread by itself.

I'm split 50/50 on the bread arguement. Because I don't think all bread taste the same and I adore bread but if I were to have a proper meal, I wouldn't eat the bread alone. Usually I'll eat bread alone as a snack.

As a Hispanic-American, I am sort of confused by bread as an entire meal confuses me but I eat tortillas almost on the daily and with tacos, enchiladas, and especially migas and chilaquiles existing I'm not completely weirded out by it.

Personally I think with Neapolitan pizza, adding too much toppings takes away from the balance of the pizza. Sometimes more isn't better There's a time and a place for a ton of toppings but that's when I'm craving a mess of salt and fat not an exquisite pizza experience

[@alaingraham]

Meat Feast pizzas are king tho (That's a pizza with all the meat toppings available at that restaurant, usually Ham (or turkey ham), bolognese, peperoni, salami and meatballs.)

[@Ash_Wen-li]

@@alaingraham I honestly don't think they are an improvement over a simple Margherita or even cheese pizza. If I do get toppings, I usually prefer max 1 meat to speak for itself with 1 or 2 other toppings to compliment it. For example Italian sausage with roasted red peppers and onions or Prosciutto Di Parma with Arugula and shaved Parmigiano

[@marlondavide9343]

@@alaingraham not gonna lie I love meat feast but @Ash is right Italian pizza is elite I live in England right now but I was born and raised in Italy I’m not Italian by ancestry so I have been exposed to many other foods I can tell you no one does pizza like Italy. So simple that my favourite pizza despite me being a meat lover is a simple “tonno e cipolle” tuna and onion pizza sometimes less makes it better

[@LockheedMartinEnjoyer]

Would you even consider a pizza as a full meal? In the US it definitely is the main dish.

[@Ash_Wen-li]

@@LockheedMartinEnjoyer Well American pizzas are rarely single serving unless you're grabbing a slice. So it's not hard to get full off one pizza. I have a pretty big appetite in one sitting so for a Neapolitan pizza it may just satisfy me, but sometimes I need dessert or something else too

[@Azrael79a]

There's a price to performance ratio in regards to food. The cheaper something is compared to the quality, the more satisfied I am personally. For example, a little Taco Bell Taco is like almost 2 dollars now. On the other hand, I can make a giant bean burrito myself for only 50 cents a piece. I can also use the Taco Bell sauce packets to make it taste more like Taco Bell lol.

I love that the argument is that the place where the food originated from does it better but pizza as we know it was invented in New York City, traditional Italian pizza was called biscotti margharita and is actually a different thing

[@Moodbone]

100% with Connor here bud, don't let the origin point in the food's history be the determining point of whether its better or not, just say what tastes better

[@crobeastness]

Italian pizza > American pizza and it isn't just because it's the origins.

[@dzello]

@@crobeastness I mean, you can somewhat empirically prove this wrong just by how widespread American pizza is compared to Italian pizza. People in general love American pizza a looooot more than Italian pizza. Sure, Italians started it, but Americans indeed made it better.

[@pivad1388]

@@dzello Popularity doesn't automatically equate to quality though. Imo while stome baked pizzas taste fucking amazing, most of the time, I just want a simple, quick pizza while I'm chilling.

[@dzello]

@@pivad1388 Popularity equates what people want though and that's what matters here. People want American pizza WAAAAY more than Italian pizza. Garnt seemed shock by Connor's opinion but Connor is absolutely right, most people will take an American pizza over an Italian pizza. It's not even close to a 50/50. The simplest way to see the difference is... I can go to an Italian restaurant to get an Italian pizza, but there's like 15 pizza places (from Dominos to independant commerces) that make American pizzas within the few dozens of blocks around my house. It's day and night how popular American pizza is relative to Italian pizza. Also, I did say ''kinda''. There's other factors (American food being more ''worldwide'' for example) but the gap is so big between Italian and American pizzas, you can hardly argue against it rationally.

[@riccardobuso5379]

@@dzello i’m not sure i’d agree: i can confidently say that an amazing steak is a better meal than an hamburger (despite both being meat) while the latter is far more popular, this could be taste wise or simply due to cost. Italian pizza has it’s selling point in the quality of ingredients and the specific taste of them, which doesn’t travel well through countries. Concentrating more on the toppings you can make a pizza which travels far better between countries than one which relies on region specific ingredients (Habits do make a difference in this, being used to eat something definitely changes your perception of other food)

[@LoserZalbo]

I've had various pizza in italy and america and frankly its pretty difficult to pick one because there is massive regional variation. Honestly the best heavy topping/medium crust pizza I've had was in Australia. I imagine there is very good similar in parts of USA, but its a big place and I've not been to all of it etc. One thing thats worth considering is pizza in tourist areas vs actual local pizza.
