Italian or American pizza?

[Sodia]

I'm 100% that at last half of the people that vote for Italian pizza :P Never was in Italy and ate their pizza Let me enlighten you It tastes like paper with tomatoes ...

[WhiteEagle888]

You should be ashamed!

You don't know the pleasure and the glory. Your feeble mind can not even grasp the feeling of insatiable deliciousness :P

[Bonkura]

Italian > Swedish > American.

I am Italian. I eat pizza every Sunday. And you are flat out wrong. Keep eating you 2 meters tall pizza my friend.

I really think you need clear definitions for these. Most of the thread seems confused and unable to agree on what Italian or American Pizza even is.

There is nothing stopping an Italian from selling Pizza in the US and vice versa. What exactly constitutes Murican and Italian Pizza?

American so called 'pizza' can be summed up as 'large cheese on toast', as most things there its all about quantity over quality

[Adam Jensen]

I don't like pizza.

Shun! Shun the non believer! Shuuuuuun!

American pizza is better if you like grease and cheese.

Italian pizza is better if you like food.

Yup, with pizza the bread is the main dish. The toppings are supposed to complement the bread. Not completely overtake it.

There are several different kinds of 'American Pizza'.
Deep dish, flat bread, thin, stuff crust, pie, double pan, artisan baked, deep fried... there are many.

And there are several different kinds of 'Italian Pizza'.

I am sure there are, they invented them. Italian immigrants brought them over the the US.

[Theoris]

Italian, of course.

[khazlol]

good italian is kinda rare but its teh best

[Baine]

I prefer thin crust pizza and "light" toppings so it is less greasy overall.

[Tyrianth]

Again, we have many kinds of pizza. The over the top style you speak of is but one.

Remember, everyone, if it has tomatoes on it it is American style pizza. They come from America after all...

lol the ignorance is strong in this one.

The tomato came to Italy via Peru before the US was even a colony. Using your logic, all pizzas with tomatoes are Peruvian.

[Cosmic Janitor]

What do you consider each to be? If we are talking about the super spartan ones as italian, then surely every other pizza. Eating pizza "vanilla" style is wrong in every way - heck even historical, seeing how it was just an excuse to use the left overs for something.

Homemade pizzas is great, i usually alternate: 1 weekend homemade, and 1 weekend outside.

A nice tip to use in an alternative way pizza's dough: when it's growth, grab small pinches of it and fry them. You can eat them with literally everything (i usually open them and put ricotta, cheese, salami etc. and even chocolate).

[Bluesftw]

im happy with whatever as long as it's not deep dish or some sort of "hotdogs buried in outer rim" abomination.

[Phlegethon]

While I definitely appreciate both, I prefer the American styled pizza!
I also think that the American pizzas are generally packed more generously if that makes sense.

What do you prefer?

You have not in your life eaten a napolitan pizza, try that, nothing beats it.
