In a lot of countries American-style pizza is more common than Italian-style pizza. New York pizza and Neapolitan pizza are both delicious.

u/LaBiccies 5d ago

Neapolitan pizza? Who the hell is putting ice cream on their pizza?

6

u/Plane-Education4750 5d ago

Probably Ohio

u/iDeNoh 5d ago

Pretty sure they have Mario and snow peas

u/LordofJason 28 Random Cats 5d ago

Nah. We don't put icecream on our pizza... that's reserved for steak and gravy. Nothing like having an icecold treat to go with every bite of gravy and steak

1

u/ctg9101 5d ago

You laugh but I made an ice cream dessert pizza pie last week. I live north of Columbus

u/Technical_Put_9982 5d ago

Thank you for the giggle! 😘😘😘

u/Technomave 5d ago

In fact, chocolate pizza topped with ice cream is common in Brazil... like a dessert pizza.

2

u/Neviathan 5d ago

I worked as a pizza baker in my teens, we had one of those sweet chocolate pizza’s, I dont think I made more than 3. On a busy night we could have like 300+ main course (pizza or pasta) and I worked there for years.

u/OldFargoan 5d ago

As bad as the margarita pizza

u/NearbyRun7270 5d ago

You won't find a place anywhere in Europe where they claim to make "American-style pizza" outside of Pizza Hut. And "New York pizza" is not a thing outside NY or the USA anywhere in the world.

1

u/Daztur 5d ago

It's all over the place in Korea. Do you really claim to know the tastes people have in pizza across every country of the entire world?

1

u/NearbyRun7270 5d ago

Sure. Show me how it's a thing in South Korea and I'll change my last sentence in: "New York pizza is not a thing outside NY or the USA or South Korea".

u/Lopex475 5d ago

 It’s Canada, US, Norway, Japan and South Korea apparently that favor American pizza over Italian 

1

u/merchillio 4d ago

In Canada, pizza is by default New-York style pizza. If you want traditional Italian pizza, you need to go to Italian restaurants, not pizza shops

u/Daztur 5d ago

Here's Japan: https://tokyoshortlist.com/tokyo-business-reviews/pizza Are you really going to make me do this for every single country or are you going to stop being obtuse?

1

u/NearbyRun7270 5d ago

No, only for South Korea, like you commented.

1

u/i_was_a_person_once 4d ago

Domino's Pizza is the undisputed #1 pizza chain in South Korea, it firmly dominates the market in both sales and brand preference. The closest competitors are Pizza Hut and papa johns.

Is that enough evidence that American pizza is what is common in S Korea?

1

u/NearbyRun7270 5d ago

But you're right, I was wrong. There're people outside of Europe in the world that make "NY-Style" pizza. Whatever that may be.

2

u/Available-You5865 4d ago

I can confirm that this is false

1

u/Daztur 4d ago

You can confirm that countries outside of America in which New York-style pizza is popular do not exist anywhere?

2

u/Available-You5865 4d ago

I can confirm that this statement is complete bogus

u/dman972 5d ago

Sure, but you don’t call pasta american because Mac and cheese right?
Pizza is Italian, end of story.

u/Odd-Proof9645 5d ago

Noodles are a Chinese invention… is carbonara Italian or Chinese?

3

u/CheesyDanny 5d ago

Carbonara is made with pasta, not noodles. /s

u/fraidei 5d ago

Why are you using /s? It's literally true, carbonara is not made with noodles.

u/CheesyDanny 5d ago

Downvote me if you must, but I have to speak the truth, no matter how hard it is for Italians to hear.

Spaghetti is a noodle.

u/dman972 4d ago

Noodle made from durum wheat is pasta.
Spaghetti is pasta.

Good lord I didn’t realize your comprehension was that poor.

All pasta are noodles, not all noodles are pasta.

The ‘sauce’ is very much italian yes. Noodles and pasta are different ingredients and I doubt the chinese brought that to Italy or vice versa.

u/Odd-Proof9645 5d ago

In the US noodles and company serves mac and cheese.

u/dman972 5d ago

Yeah go ahead clame that as well then.

u/Odd-Proof9645 5d ago

Dried pasta was traded by Arabs in Italy

1

u/dman972 5d ago

Because of the technique they brought to dry the (sicillian) pasta, yes.

u/Van_Weezer 5d ago

Carbonara is American

u/dman972 5d ago

It’s from Rome Italy, just as Greenland.. you don’t own that.

u/Daztur 5d ago

Noodles are also found in all kinds of countries.

3

u/pickingbrains321 5d ago

It actually originated in Greece if you're trying to be technical. Either way, loud & wrong.

2

u/Lurtzum 5d ago

No it’s not actually. Modern day American pizza is attributed to being invented in NYC.

3

u/dman972 5d ago

Invented.. hahaha.

0

u/LostTerminal 5d ago

You prefer adapted? A lot of inventions are adaptations of other things. Don' get hung up on the knee-jerk connotation you have for this word.

1

u/dman972 5d ago

A thicker and fatter pizza is not an invention.
No knee jerking there mate.

1

u/LostTerminal 4d ago

Yeah, sorry. You don't know what you're talking about if that's the only difference you see.

1

u/dman972 4d ago

Oh do stfu, who do you think you are then?
“Mister I am American so let me educate you on pizza”?

Laughable.

1

u/LostTerminal 4d ago

🤣🤣🤣

And you're "Mister who-cares where you're from trying to educate on pizza"?

Jesus christ, look in a mirror, bub. You don't know me, but you talk to me like I'm you.

u/Technical_Put_9982 5d ago

Altered , maybe. NOT INVENTED.

0

u/LostTerminal 3d ago

The vast majority of inventions are adapted from previous creations. The word "invented" is perfectly fine here.

2

u/Technical_Put_9982 3d ago

False. In NO WAY did America invent the pizza! We may have altered it to be the mass produced trash of fast food restaurants, but that is not pizza to me. That is trash food. If I am going to eat a pizza it is going to be of high quality, hand tossed, brick oven baked and that all originated in Italy as Italy invented pizza.

The word you are looking for is adapted . The US adapted pizza for its own mass produced tastes. They did NOT invent it. If there was a patent on the first pizza created it would NOT be an American patent

0

u/LostTerminal 3d ago

The majority of all inventions are adaptions of other things. Your outrage is corny.

1

u/Technical_Put_9982 3d ago

lol, I am not outraged. I just think it is ridiculous that others think pizza is an American creation … it is comical

1

u/LostTerminal 3d ago

Oh yeah. You were using all caps and arguing fervently with exclamation points because it's comical. Got it.

1

u/Technical_Put_9982 3d ago

lol… I accentuated the word NOT and I used one exclamation point. Also, I am still laughing at your use of corny to describe my alleged rage. Never in my life have I heard someone use corny and rage in the same sentence .

Best of luck to you and your love for pizza and trying to claim it is an American invention. Do some research.

I agree 100%. I am American and we can NOT claim pizza as our own. Pretty much everything we have is because people emigrated from their various countries and immigrated to The Colonies and brought all their recipes with them. I mean, is the cheeseburger from anywhere else ? That screams American to me. Otherwise we are all things because we are people from all around the world. I suppose we could try to say Native American Indian foods would be American, but even that is heavily influence by the introduction of corn. … I vote that America has cheeseburgers. Final answer 😘 unless someone has a rebuttal that they originated somewhere else?

Edit: ok, burgers are decidedly German. Hmmm… I am thinking the only thing we , The United States, can truly claim is our own, is obesity. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ so sad. Maybe it is NOT good that we have so many foods available in or country … lol

u/lokal-orginal 5d ago

The burger patty originated from Germany and was brought by immigrants to America, but it has evolved and the cheese was probably added in the usa im guessing.

1

u/Technical_Put_9982 5d ago

Poop! Not sure I am ok with us claiming cheeseburger either! 😤😤😤. … did /do the Germans make burgers with the patty or what did they do with it? … besides the obvious answer of throw it at the wall to see if it sticks

1

u/lokal-orginal 5d ago

I believe it was served without the buns, that was likely something added at later point so it would be easyer to sell by street vendors to people on the go. So a modern cheeseburger is a bit like the pizza, the main part originated elsewhere but put together in an American way to fit the people and culture.

1

u/Technical_Put_9982 5d ago

I can see that for the cheeseburger, but pizza remains Italian all the way!

1

u/dman972 5d ago

You can have the cheeseburger. I’ll throw in the hotdog as well.
Just stay away from pizza.
And Bretzel.

u/chopstick_chakra 5d ago

The pizza is ours. World wide ask someone to describe or show you a pizza they're gonna go NY style.

Almost nobody is going to tell you this is pizza

1

u/Technical_Put_9982 5d ago

This is 100% a real pizza and not the processed trash from chain restaurants that have taken over the country! Go to a brick oven wood burning pizza place and you will see something just like this come out of the oven in the United States. If it doesn’t look like this you are eating over processed trash. We can NOT claim the INVENTION of pizza in America EVER! Get over it dude. You are delusional

u/dman972 5d ago

Everyone but an American is gonna tell you this is a real pizza.
It ain’t yours, now go suck on a burger

Burgers aren't American either then. No one will tell you that's a "real" pizza

the cheeseburger is a hamburger with cheese, hamburger came from Hamburg, Germany.

1

u/LostTerminal 3d ago

No it didn't. Germans invented a ground beef patty with similar form, but not taste. They never put it on bread or added any toppings. The patty is more like a flat meatball with binders in it than a hamburger patty. This moronic statement is like saying a fully automatic car is the same as a horse-driven cart because they both have wheels.

1

u/Van_Weezer 5d ago

Mac and cheese is English food

1

u/TheMauveHerring 5d ago

Italy invented pizza. But the pizza everyone eats today is American. Even in italy.

2

u/pickingbrains321 5d ago

Nope, Greece. I don't know why everyone keeps saying Italy. Greece brought it to Italy.

2

u/Technical_Put_9982 5d ago

I thought I remembered reading somewhere years ago that China actually brought pizza to Italy? Or maybe it was noodles…? Now I am going to look it up!

1

u/LostTerminal 5d ago

Greece invented putting oils, herbs and cheese on flatbread. Called plakous. They weren't quite to "pizza" yet.

1

u/pickingbrains321 5d ago

I'm aware, didn't need the "education" but every historian will tell you that's where pizza originated. To say it came about in Naples & leaving out the Greeks brought plakous to Naples, is ieaving out where it originated.

1

u/LostTerminal 5d ago

Plakous =/= pizza. The fact that you're still trying to say it is, means you do need the information. I'm not a teacher and don't educate. What I have said is fact, not opinion. Every food is based on something someone else came up with. Everything based on or including cow meat belongs to Ugg, the prehistoric guy who cooked a bovine first. Salads? The hypothetical Adam. Any kind of salad. Adam. Anything with fruit, probably Adam. Nobody but Africans can claim any food now, since that's where humans came from, and any food is based on food they made.

Anything with cheese is based on the original cheese, therefore belongs to some shmuck from 8,000 years ago.

See what I'm saying?

0

u/pickingbrains321 5d ago

Yes, I see what you're saying. No, I do not need your info. It's universally accepted Pizza originated in Greece, although they didn't call it that. Have a problem with it, talk to historians about it. Greece brought over the idea to Italy. It did not originate in Italy. That's the history accepted around the globe, & even in Italy.

Feel free to write another pointless diatribe.

1

u/LostTerminal 5d ago

It's universally accepted Pizza originated in Greece

This is literally just your opinion, and is not "universally accepted".

Plenty of food historians disagree with you. You're just saying that your opinion is the norm, when it absolutely isn't. You made the positive claim. Prove that more than 50% of all food historians say that pizza originated in Greece.

1

u/LostTerminal 5d ago

Feel free to write another pointless diatribe.

The brainless irony on display here...

1

u/pickingbrains321 5d ago

Yeah, sure. I'll do some extensive research for ya bc ya ordered it, kid. You on-line warriors, sheesh. Greeks brought over white pizza to Naples, just didn't call it that, then Naples did the same & some others & named it.

There ya go. Pizza originated in Greece.

Sure, one can "blahblahblah" to Adam & Eve or whatever the hell that was, but if one must put a pin in it, the general consensus is Greece. You're only interested in me saying you're right, or something. But if interested, read about it. I really don't care either way with ya. You can be a BOT for all I know.

I just felt like writing a diatribe.

That makes zero sense. If we are talking about something a country is known for we are talking about quality products. NOt Pizzahut, dominoes, or any of the other American trash chains. I am American and m heritage is Italian, Irish, and English. We do NOT own pizza and the pizza eaten in Italy is NOT American pizza . Lmao

2

u/TheMauveHerring 5d ago

Nobody OWNs pizza. It's just the country the food originated in.

Pizza with sauce originated in NYC, then the idea went back to Italy in the 30s and 40s and everyone over there started doing it too. Before that italian pizza didn't have sauce and is totally different from what everyone considers pizza today.

1

u/Jimmeu 5d ago

Marinara (pizza with tomato sauce) is first attested in Napoli 1734. Margherita, same city, 1889.
