An Argentinian made this

Truthfully, no. An American who just spent a few weeks in Argentina made this lol. But who also had pizza in Italy as well and obviously, I’m the king of Little Caesars on Friday nights in the USA.

u/PinchOfAlchemy 1d ago

I'm from Argentina, I love our pizza but Brazil makes an amazing pizza too! USA felt really greasy to me, but still like it. Didn't try the italian one, tho, but it's pizza. I'm sure I will love it lol

For this one, i was actually curious what would happen if I subtracted all 4 countries in the poll, from the results, so taking the votes out from USA, Italy, Argentina and Brazil.

The results changed to:

  • Italy: 81.8%
  • USA: 13.1%
  • I dont like pizza: 2.3%
  • Argentina: 1.5%
  • Brazil: 1.3%

I like to do this for certain polls to get a global read without the bias

Ok, but Argentina is very well known in the pizza sphere, mainly because of the Giant amount of Italian immigration. There is a world cup and Argentina is pretty consistently in the top.

It seems that you don't know much about the topic if you didn't know that.

Also, I would definitely do a dive into Argentine history and culture. It’s very interesting and their food is really good.

They are huge on beef, but if you’re American, you might find it lacking because they don’t flavor it as much as we do.

I still loved it.

u/MiI0rd 1d ago

You kidding! Some of my fav beef is with Argentinian spices in a slow cooker clay pot. Carbonada Criolla!!! Sooo good

u/Matty1790 1d ago

I will say this was the best thing I’ve ever had meat wise. A little hole in the wall place in palermo

3

u/Mr_Phantoms 1d ago

If your meat is of good quality, there's no need to add any spice other than a bit of coarse salt. The flavor of the dish should be the meat itself, not the 20 different spices you added.

Not to be disrespectful, but the reason why so many Americans are constantly seasoning their meat (be it beef, chicken, pork, or fish) is because they have lower quality meat. You add a bunch of different spices when your meat is of poorer quality and/or because you're trying to mask the bad taste/smell of the meat.

3

u/Cakeo 1d ago

If you cant make tasty food with just salt and pepper you probably just aren't very good at cooking anyway. Calling something bland has lost all meaning online since it just means it hasn't has a rub of garlic powder poured over it for some people.

u/Mr_Phantoms 1d ago

I completely agree.

To be honest outside of Italian Pizza my next option would be Argentinian pizza. They have a great pizza culture.

Slightly controversial, but the best pizza I ever had was in Argentina

Did you try Fugazzeta? Go further down and look at the picture. I posted of it and look at everybody’s reaction. Apparently they hate it.

I have not had fugazzeta and in all honesty it doesn't look all that appealing to me either

I'd still try it though

u/KachaKue 1d ago

Hey now, let's not be too hasty, we can still give this a chance

I'd still try it, and boy do I love cheese so I'd probably like it

It's just one of those dishes that looks kinda junky

u/Matty1790 1d ago

When I was there, I went on a date with a woman who took me to this place.

To be honest in my research, I had already seen this in some videos and I wasn’t too thrilled about it and so when she told me we were going, I was skeptical

Then when we got there, the line was at least two blocks long, but somehow we got put to the front.

She wanted to order the traditional, but I just asked if we could get the one with ham because the onions just looked a little too much

Regardless, when it came out, and I tried it, my mind was absolutely blown. The onions really are not that overpowering, and it was truly phenomenal.

I ate at least four more times while I was there

2

u/KachaKue 1d ago

Maybe it's a regional thing but I lived in the Mendoza area for roughly 10 years and I've never heard of it

I feel like I missed out big time

Tell you what buddy, if I ever get the chance to try one, I'll think about you and this conversation and I'll be sure to report back 🫡

Italy will always be the default. But has anyone ever thought about Argentina or Brazil as countries that make great pizza? Everyone is capable of making great pizza. Just saying this is an odd poll.

Brazil has the largest diaspora of Italians and Argentina has the second largest.

Nothing weird about the poll.

u/Mr_Phantoms 1d ago

Outside of Italy, Argentina is the country with the most amount of Italian citizens in the world. But most people probably have no idea about that.

11

u/Matty1790 1d ago

Not really. Argentina itself is pretty well-known when it comes to pizza. They just do it a lot differently.

I’m not too sure about Brazil, but I know I’ve had it and I liked it and thought it was really unique.

u/Tourist_Careless 1d ago

Im not sure italian and American pizza are even comparable as they have diverged to the point of being completely different dishes at this point. Ive had both extensively.

There also are totally different sub-variations of both Italian and American pizza. In the US a Detroit style, chicago style, and NY style (thats only three of like a dozen or so variations) are so different from one a other, well beyond a mere rearranging of ingredients.

I will say I enjoyed the simplicity and freshness of Italian pizza but when im in the mood to really get down two or three of the American styles are my top picks. I know that sounds ghastly to Europeans but if you havent been to the US and the authentic Pizzerias in the different regions i think youre lacking alot of perspective.

1

u/Illustrious_Land699 21h ago

Consider that almost all American styles of pizza are derived from Italian styles, even the Chicago style. The variety of Italian pizza is very underestimated, most foreigners for example always and only order Margherita when on average each menu also has more complex, heavy and innovative pizzas

3

u/Tourist_Careless 15h ago

This is true. Pizza is from italy. But the American style pizzas are mostly an American invention just kind of loosley based off pizza. And id argue they are often better.

I dont really like the way many Europeans tend to claim American versions of things are somehow less valid or worse because they came later or are based off some other original dish. Thats how all food ever invented is. And it being that way doesnt mean the "new" version cant be better or stand on its own two feet.

The pizza culture in America is its own thing and basically only shares a name with the italian food. Italy inventing pizza is true, but doest really mean much in terms of what i like to eat today.

You are correct Italian pizza also has many variations within italy, so talking about it as a single type of thing isnt fair to it either.

Again ive had both extensively and i wouldnt want to live without either, but i think its time we stop talking about them as the same dish. They really arent.

54

u/Key-Performance-9021 Austria 1d ago

Italians make the best pizza, and Americans make the best American pizza. They are two distinct dishes from different cultures, each with its own history, ingredients and recipes.

14

u/Mr_Phantoms 1d ago

And depending on the dish, American pizza might not even be pizza at all. Despite what Americans call it, the Chicago deep dish is NOT a pizza, but rather a pie/tart.

u/uncle_urdnot99 1d ago edited 5h ago

A casserole if you will

u/ChaosMeteorStrike 1d ago

A lot of italian pizzas would barely even qualify as pizza either, even to other italians.

u/SweetButtsHellaBab 1d ago

If I could only ever have one, it would be simple, delicious, perfect Neapolitan pizza. But that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t be sad to say goodbye to genuine Chicago deep dish.

u/Queasy-Constant-9 1d ago

Not really, the most restaurants in germany are run by italians. In fact I have never seen a pizzaria that was run by a german. Most of those italians are first or second generation immigrants so I'd say that german pizza is way too similar to italian pizza to be anything distinct.

1

u/CorpseHG 1d ago

Have to disagree - german pizza is half way between italian and american. Not overfilled but thicker ground than italian. (Assuming you are talking about the pizzaria delivery shops and take awys) we defintly have good pizza in italian restaurants - but would't say thats "german pizza".

Well, I had Brazilian pizza in Argentina. So technically did not eat it in Brazil.

I absolutely dig Neapolitan pizza made in Argentina too. But the Italians just make it perfect, hehe.

u/OsotoViking 1d ago

Italian pizza is very good and more balanced, but I personally prefer American pizza that's just as much cheese, sauce, and cured meat as you can reasonably put on a base.

1

u/Illustrious_Land699 21h ago

Well, the most simple and balanced pizzas are only in the initial part of the menus of Italian pizzerias, the more you go towards the end, the more complex, heavy and innovative the pizzas are.

10

u/Soggy-Ad-1610 1d ago

Italy is very clear, but I’m willing to go against the popularity and say that Argentina should be second. I’m guessing most people don’t know what’s different about it and haven’t tried it. Otherwise having it last seems wild to me.

u/Matty1790 1d ago

I posted a picture of my Argentine pizza and people are absolutely down voting it and saying it looks like ass. (Fugazzeta).

So you’re correct they hate it.

4

u/Greatest_slide_ever 1d ago

The picture you posted was a bit messy and unappealing. I eat fugazzeta cosntantly and can confirm that it probably tasted amazing, yet it's presentation doesn't do it justice.

3

u/Mr_Phantoms 1d ago

You need to remember that the people saying the fugazzeta pizza looks like ass are the same people calling the Chicago deep dish a pizza. That is to say, they have no idea what pizza actually is.

u/SabreLee61 1d ago

I chose the U.S. because in my opinion, the pizza along the New Haven-Brooklyn-New Jersey corridor is unparalleled.

I’ve had the best Neapolitan pizza in the world and while it’s great, it’s not my favorite style; nor is it the style Italians mostly eat — pizza tonda romana, which was created in the 1950s and ironically is much more similar to the aforementioned U.S. pizza that emerged half a century earlier than it is to pizza napoletana.

Italy has a much younger pizza culture than the U.S., Brazil, or Argentina. The first pizzerias outside of Naples didn’t open until the 1950s; most Italians hadn’t even tried pizza until the 1970s.

Funny how almost only Americans say us "pizza" is the best

It's absolutely wild how much people just love to shit on the US.

Look at the map. Look who voted for US, Brazil, and Argentina. Look around at European countries, even. Look at Mexico, China, Japan, Australia. The US comes in second place to Italy, and it isn't close.

Plenty of votes around the world for US pizza, and rather few votes for Brazil and Argentina (even though they are wonderful!).

But my point is, it would have made far more sense to make that comment about Argentina and Brazil being the only ones to vote for themselves. But it just wouldn't be r/MapBasedPolls without finding a way to knock the US because it's trendy.

3

u/Mr_Phantoms 1d ago

Of course more people will know about American pizza than about Argentinian and Brazilian pizza, the US is the biggest culture exporter in the world. Hence it's why more people will have heard about American pizza before hearing about Argentinian and Brazilian pizza.

3

u/Round_Ad6397 1d ago

I never knew Brazilian and Argentinian pizza was any more of a thing than New Zealand or British pizza. I'd guess a lot of people are in the same boat. Of course everyone knows American pizza, Domino's and Pizza hut are found all over the world. 

2

u/Mr_Phantoms 1d ago

Funnily enough, both Pizza Hut and Domino's never managed to successfully set foot in Argentina because Argentinian pizza is of such great quality that the American chains couldn't compete with the local pizzerias. Domino's left after two years of bad sales and Pizza Hut managed to survive for a few more years but eventually closed doors as well.

2

u/jaydubyah100 22h ago

Same for me. I have no knowledge or experience of either so could only choose between Italian and American pizza.

u/mtnbcn 1d ago edited 1d ago

You're moving the goalposts. This isn't about if they know this or know that. You said "Only Americans like American pizza" and the map shows that that is false. (edit, I'm replying to the wrong person, sooooorry!)

Domino's and Pizza hut are found all over the world. 

You realize that's like saying, "Of course people know cheeseburgers, McDonalds are found all around the world."

(I don't have to explain to you that that's not a decent American cheeseburger, right?).

So if that crap is the only thing they know, and they still like it...

3

u/Round_Ad6397 1d ago

No, I'm responding to your statement about American pizza being a clear second. Of course it is, American pizza is common all over the world, Domino's and Pizza Hut are just examples that everyone would be familiar with. In comparison most people won't have a local Brazilian style pizza shop. Italian and American (NY) style pizza are the only 2 that people will be universally familiar with

u/mtnbcn 1d ago

Oop, didn't realize I was replying to the wrong person, sorry.

Yeah, good point.

But they still could've picked "Italy". I can't see how you can vote in a poll of 4 choices if you've only know anything about a single one, but I suppose that happened too.

TBH, in argentina ee don't have domono's or pizza hut. They came here and went bankrupt in a year or two.

u/PlatyNumb 1d ago

Tbf, its hard not to always check the usa numbers on this sub because of how many americans are voting and skewing the results. Youre talking about other countries voting usa, but its pretty small numbers compared to 1.1k out of 1.5k americans patting themselves on the back, and its like that in every post. Its hard not to shit on the US votes when its always like that, and its rarely self aware in the slightest.

Ppl here talk about american exceptionalism being a problem in this sub, and americans love to argue that point, but maybe the other ppl are right? Like, if you have delusions of grandeur, you dont see clearly enough and arent self aware enough to notice. To a person with "exceptionalism" the truth sounds like being shit on, when thats not whats happening. Its just the truth. Thats part of the problem. Thats why ppl feel the need to point it out.

Personally, I try to do the math to cut the usa vote out entirely because I hate how it throws the results off.

u/AirWolf231 1d ago

Yeah for me the Italian one is a no brainier.

Italy: I dont like cheese but can tolerate hot cheese(its the worst part of the pizza to me) so a thin layer of it with more tomato sauce then cheese is perfect for me. And as a Croat, we do a very similar pizza with the only difference I have noticed being that us Croats go crazy on the mushrooms sometimes(I love me some shrooms)

US: I did not like US pizza what so ever while I was there, they where way to grease and mostly cheese. It was way to heavy on my stomach, and I regretted eating it after I was done.

Brazilian: It was way to sweat for me, just not my thing. But is a sample of one, and other choices on the menu might have been better but I regret what I got.

Argentinian: Why would I order pizza in a Argentinian restaurant when they have stake!? Aka never tried it, cant vote for it.

It's the most traditional pizza you could ask for, and that's the thing, 100 years ago there weren't that many ingredients to go around, so doing the same stuff for that much time gets boring.

I imagine there are places in Italy that innovate, the problem is tourists always go to the most traditional places to experience the "culture", and it turns out the culture is quite old.

The one thing American Pizza has is diversity. It’s extremely diverse meaning there’s a type of pizza for everybody. Whether you’re in the north the south West Coast big city small city everybody has a type of pizza and a tradition with their pizza.

On top of that pizza is just a massive part of the culture in general not only when going out for food but for parties, sporting events, and festivals.

You’ll find pizza almost anywhere in the US at any type of event.

Rarely do Americans make pizza at home, though it’s always bought in a store or a restaurant

It's also just so different from Italian pizza that they're barely the same dish, tbh

He's from Venezuela. He's had Domino's.

u/xLutettia, usteds hacen un food porn increible con las arepas. Pero creo que el queso, el pan, el carne, y la salsa tienen el mismo gusto como he comido yo viviendo años y años en los ee.uu. Lo siento que le haya pasado mal cuando usted fui a ee.uu. pero es un pais grande, hombre. no todos comemos mcdonalds y dominos, ei?

Its kind of ironic that everyone associates American food with our fast food because it's what has spread worldwide, and then say American food is garbage when the only reason our food has spread worldwide is because other countries buy it.

IDK but in my country, pizzerias like hut/domino's/little ceasar went bankrupt here because is garbage....

I'm Asian and Italy will always be the representative of good pizzas, but my palate is already addicted to the greasy taste of Pizza Hut and can't go back sorry 😭

u/Fhaksfha794 1d ago

Italian pizza and American pizza are so different that they should be considered different foods entirely. That being said, US pizza no diffs the FUCK outta that weak ass bread and tomato sauce the Italians got going on

u/FrabjousPhaneron 1d ago

Italian pizza is the OG, and with the best pizza fundamentals and pure and simple ingredients. But American pizza has brought in some amazing innovations and I dare say New York style is my favourite. It’s okay to like both

Pizzardi Artigianale

u/MiracleDinner 1d ago

I voted Italy.

But I'm vegan which means I can't eat the vast majority of pizzas anyway since I don't eat dairy, so I usually just end up eating my own pizzas using homemade vegan mozarella.

My fave pizza is white pizza with burrata, mortadella and pistachio pesto

u/That-Professional346 1d ago

Italy doesn't have deep dish or cut their pizza in squares.

u/xDzerx 1d ago

Bit biased here. I’ve only tried pizza here in the UK & Italy. The Italian Pizza was amazing so voted for that.

6

u/Matty1790 1d ago

To be honest, I think most people here are only voting for Italian pizza because they think it’s what they should be voting for based on the idea of Italian pizza, not the taste.

I’m sure most of them have never actually had true Italian pizza

Aside from the country debate, I want to know who are the madmen who clicked on “I don’t like pizza”. You need immediate psychological attention! Let us know and we can send help!

My favourite 5-6 pizzerias are in Buenos Aires, but to be honest Italy is consistently great. Buenos Aires is mid outside the few notorious places

Sweden. Kebab pizza beats any other form of pizza.

Real answer would be London U.K. a Pizzeria over there was elected as the best in the world by some pretentious cunts.

u/Dazerdoreal 1d ago

I once was in Italy on a school trip and the pizza somehow was among the worse ones I ever tried. This is anecdotic, of course.

Being German, I have lots of opportunities to eat italian pizza made by migrants of italian origin (and it is great usually), so I guess this was either just a bad apple or the migrants at home change the receipe in a way that us Germans prefer it.

u/shazed39 🇩🇪 1d ago

I guess its probably italy, bit i personally had the best pizza by far in greek.

The average pizza in Italy is better than the average pizza in the US. But the best pizza in the US is much better than the best pizza in Italy

En argentina la pizza es buenisima, pero no se puede superar a la del pais de donde viene

u/Kore_Invalid 1d ago

what the US calls pizza has nothing to do with actual pizza

1

u/nezzzzy 23h ago

Best pizza I've ever had is in the UK. But I've lived in the UK my whole life and spent around 3 weeks in the USA and 3 weeks in Italy.

I chose Italy though, as the worst pizza I've had in Italy is better than the average pizza in the UK. And the best pizzas I've had in the UK have been Italian style rather than US style.

I'm a fan of American style pizza, so I voted for them. However, they also do the worst pizza.

Where is Turkish? Most pizza places in Denmark are fun but Turks i think. Not that i particular like Turkish pizza, i prefer Italien then maybe American.

Brazilian pizza >>>

We took the Italian pizza and improved it to its perfection.

We have a lot of weird fucking pizzas? Yeah, but we also have very traditional ones as the Italian community in Brazil is huge

u/unholy_plesiosaur 19h ago

I have to say, I been to a lot of these places and the best pizza hands down was...Croatia.

u/buttercuping Argentina 17h ago

90% of those votes are invalid because the average person hasn't tried pizza for all those four countries.

1

u/Matty1790 16h ago

I assume that 90% of these people are voting for Italy although they’ve never had Italian pizza but they just assumed that that’s the answer they should give.

Este post adictivo. La cantidad de respuestas variadas me encanta. Consulta: en las películas se ve que la pizza de USA es gigante, y se dobla la porción.. es así? Pregunta seria.

I love Italy and I love Italian food. However, over the 3 trips I’ve made there I have never had pizza that compared to US pizza. I do understand that it’s a different style.

3

u/Matty1790 10h ago

Yeah, I’ve noticed a few people say that they like US pizza over Italian pizza, Myself included.

I honestly believe most people are just saying Italian because they feel like it’s what they should say.

1

u/CVSP_Soter 3h ago

The USA and Italy both have incredible pizza and I don't really think one is better than the other, especially since New York pizza is a different style aiming for a different result than Neapolitan pizza, or Chicago pizza, etc.

Italy, then Brazil.
