Italian pizza is basically an entirely different dish at this point. It happens. American pizza isn’t somehow less valid for having drastically changed from the original thing. It was, after all, brought here by Italian immigrants.
The wild thing is, what’s often thought of as Italian pizza isn’t even really older than American pizza.
It’s generally regarded as being created around 1890, and the first American pizza parlor opened in 1905.
We’re you eating at the airport McDonald’s? Italians do not mess around with food and will fuck places up if they’re serving shit. As a friend of mine said (who lived there for 8 years) you get better sandwiches at Italian truckstops than you do at specialty delis in North America.
I remember the one in Rome, it was somewhere in a residential area, not Colloseum etc, and there was a small line of people waiting. Very likely it was a bad place or some strange style of pizza that did not hit my plebean tastebuds. Or anyone else’s in our little group.
I’ve been to Italy. Still really love Detroit style pizza. When I was in Italy (late '90s), none of us realized that pepperoni was an English name that didn’t exist in Italy. We got a pizza with a bunch of kinds of peppers on it at this place in Rome. Was still great, though.
You guys are going to have your minds blown if you ever go to Italy
Lol, I love all pizza, even shit pizza. Nothing like a 3am grease slab from the kebabbery which would make an Italian spit at you!
No kebab shop ever sells anything on the level of Detroit or other unique styles of pizza in the US. I guarantee it.

There’s lots of different regional Italian pizzas. Americans only seem to know the Naples style though for some reason.
Maybe I’ve been to the wrong Italy, but tried pizza in Milan and on Rome and both were very underwhelming.
I imagine like everywhere there are good places and shit places to buy food
Except Florida.
Florida pizzas are garbage.

Interesting. I’m kind of interested now…

It’s almost like recipes evolve, and a dish created before tomatoes were brought to Europe might have different variants.
Yeah I know, it’s just amusing that Twitter OP could envision the concept of different types of American pizza but still ignored all of Italy
