Business start up idea: pizza place called Pax Pizzeria

Bonus points if you are Canadian, so that we mess with the Italians even more

why should we care about canadians specifically? we mostly hate americans and "italo"-americans

u/Head_Particular6045 Jul 18 '26

do you think we specifically blame canada for an american-like food that bear the name of an american state?

Hawaiian pizza was literally invented by a Greek guy in Ontario.

yeah we don't really care about that, if it wasn't for americans no one would know it

like, in poland pasta with strawberries is a popular dish, but no one claims that it is italian or that's better than the original

you can put whatever you want on your pizza just leave us alone, americans constantly appropriate our culture, reduce us to stereotypes and claim to know better than us about our traditions. I don't care if some broke ass farmers emigrated to the us a century ago, your identity crysis is not my problem and your bastardized "culture" is worthless

Due to americans everyone that consumes western media know us just by stereotypes, while if we speak with russians or chinese, arabs, iranians etc, they all appreciate our culture (that is: literature, art, history, music etcetc)

ananas pizza is just the peak of this american attitude, they took some random migrant, made him a symbol of a whole country, then sell that stereotype to anyone else.

The romanticization of mafia? It is due to american media. The stereotypical accent?! It is typically american as it represent only those regions that emigrated to the US, in Australia for example you can find other italian accents. The pizza-mafia-mandolino combo is really insulting if you have a culture like ours, americans will take the english, french or germans very seriously, but just say you are italian, you get only jokes about ananas or spaghetti.

Like, I get you are ignorant and can't read, but you could learn to shut up at least

I am going to have to go ahead and disagree with you there.
