As an American of entirely Italian descent, fuck you, pineapple on pizza is fucking delicious.
I’ve had pizza in Italy, and as a New Yorker, I gotta tell you… it wasn’t special. Hell, I’d hesitate to call it ‘good.’
Pizza as we know it was invented in New York City around the turn of the 20th century (and became popular because factory workers would buy a pie in the morning and leave the box on a radiator to keep it warm until lunch). The stuff they had in Italy prior to that was basically just a variation on bruschetta.
Pineapple on pizza is indeed fucking delicious, and not even the weirdest pizza topping I’ve enjoyed (that honor goes to salami & cream cheese).
^ I knew I married him for a reason.
The Husband is correct! Sort of. By the mid 19th century, pizza in Italy was still mostly of the type called the marinara – called so because it largely made by the wives of seamen (heheh, I am like 12). The thing that makes the marinara not quite like modern pizza is that it had mostly no cheese. Which like, who even cares at that point.
The margarita introduced big ole globs of mozzarella and basil in 1889 to honor Margharita of Savoy, Italy’s Queen consort at the time.
But these pizzas aren’t really anything like a good pizzeria pizza today. It was poor Italian-American New Yorkers in the early 20th century who set that standard.
So basically I am very suspicious of the motherland’s opinions on what makes a good pizza.
delete america
… pizza marinara is named marinara because IT HAD VERY LITTLE INGREDIENTS SO SEAMEN AND NOT THEIR WIVES COULD MAKE IT. IT’S CALLED MARINAR*A*, FEMININE, BECAUSE PIZZA IS A FEMININE WORD AND SO THE ADJECTIVE GOES WITH THE PIZZA. wives of seamen my ass. shut the fuck up that’s just the top of the iceberg
PIZZA IS CANCELLED FOR AMERICANS
NO MORE PIZZA FOR YOU

Put the fuck you want on your fucking pizza, but why the fuck do you Americans have this compulsive need to call other people’s heritage and culture American and belittle them at the same time? Like. Who the fuck do you think you are, you fuckwards.
