Italians have great raw ingredients, if only somebody would teach them how to use them.

Yes, lemmy is large enough to get astroturfing bots now. Congratulations you are very smart.
Big Pizza infiltrating Lemmy… stay alert soldier!
it is pretty obviously a joke at dominos expense
Seeing Dominoes as the standard for American pizza fills me with sadness and shame.
Yes, I know it’s only a shitpost, but still.
Deep Dish erasure. It’s like our only original pizza contribution.
The perfidious Swede is known for curried bananas on their pizza. It could be worse.
Okay, I’m going to be that guy because I don’t see it being pointed out already.
That’s not actual Italian pizza, it’s still an Americanized version.
Real Italian pizza is so thin you have to eat it with a fork and knife and it’s meant for one person, not to share. The one in the picture is still way too thick to be real Italian.
But real Italian pizza in Italy really is on another level. It’s so god damned good, it makes all pizza in America look like cardboard with sauce.
“Real italian pizza is so thin” Yeah that’s just not true, there are many different types of Italian pizza, the most standard of which is like the one pictured. The form varies in popularity by region.
The Napoli pizza portofoglio is the best
Exactly, plus it’s usually cheap as hell too, along with being mind blowing-ly good.
Not everyone gets the chance to go to Italy though, so just enjoy the pizza and op should stop gate keeping a delicious food.
I’m not gatekeeping, I’m countering the papist menace known as “single serve” pizzas.
It’s part of the anti-Freemason plot to prevent us eating communally in order to reduce obesity amongst alter boys.

thank you I needed this laugh
Glad it caused a laugh.
The one on the left was by an Italian in an Italian cultural zone known as new Amsterdam (fucking hipsters changing the names of everything).
I’m Italian, can confirm that that pizza looks like a correct napolitan style pizza
i’ve had real italian pizza, in italy. it was fucking delicious, but it doesn’t make the best pies i’ve had in places like new york or chicago taste like cardboard with sauce. some places in nyc can absolutely go toe-to-toe with italy.
Yeah I don’t think so. They have different kinds of pizza in Italy. When I visited, I ate both kinds (as pictured and as you described). However, no sign of anything resembling Dominoes or frozen pizzas from the US. They were both delicious, but I prefer the slightly thicker and doughy crust seen in OP’s picture.
Thicc pizza is my guilty pleasure
What do you mean expensive? A Margherita is usually around 7 euros
I paid 21 USD* (~19 EUR) for a margarita in North-West America yesterday :(
It was pretty good, but it was also small (12"/30cm).
* that’s before 10% VAT and 15% mandatory tip - you can basically add another 5.
What the fuck
Wow ok that’s steep (also margarita is Spanish not Italian)
margarita
Ha, that was my spellchecker :)

They use euros in Africa? We are talking about Italian pizza so I’m talking about Italy

Yep in Italy is dirt cheap but the further away you go the more the American style stays cheap while the Italian style becomes “gourmet” and gets more expensive.

Reddit taught me that’s the normal way to answer and the driver takes the view in lieu of a tip
I know it’s a meme, but this is a dumb take. You’re comparing two very different things, and they serve two different purposes. Sometimes you want to crush some fast food at 2 am after drinking at the pub, sometimes you want to have really good pizza where less is more and the quality of the ingredients matter. Eat both and be happy you have pizza.
Really good pizza
more bread than anything else
Come on, we both know the toppings are the star of the show and bread is the delivery vehicle.
See how thick that chonker on the left is? That’s because it has a higher bread to topping ratio.
And people accuse Americans of wanting more sugar. WHAT DOES BREAD TURN INTO?
That’s the joke
Domino’s crust is always covered with a layer of nasty gritty powder, even if I tell them to not season the crust.
it’s the cornmeal they use to keep it from sticking during prep
That’s what they want you to think
Uh, I’m pretty sure it’s baby powder.
Yeah that’s not seasoning, that’s corneal. Unless you mean the edges? Then that’s their fake parmesan.
Corn flour? Lol
Baffled at the plenty of toppings and lots of cheese notes. Maybe it’s just Dominoes in Canada but I’m fairly certain there’s less cardboard in the box it came in. To each their own I guess.
different supplier than the supply region I’m in, so I’ll take your word for it.
Maybe it’s part of the MAID plan? Easier to convince people if they don’t have good cheese to remind them that it’s worth going on until that next greasy slice.
Pretty sure that 30 minutes or less thing hasn’t been a thing in forever
As with all retail, corporate accounts for people abusing the staff until the manager relents.
Don’t do it obviously, Scaphism is sometimes justified, but you will get that free pizza.
I always forget how good a genuine pizza is until I have it again

food of the peasants
The ignorant peasants, yes. I can feed myself for two whole days off the price of a McDonald’s combo meal these days.
Eat the Mcslop citizen! A frugal wage-slave is bad for the economy, so do your part be precarious!
Memes aside, Punjabi food is definitely in the top tier when it comes to styles of Indian food (and Indian food is top tier already).

I feel you, variety is the spice of life (but that’s only after a vicious battle against cumin that could have gone either way).
That sounds awesome, I’m on the Wikipedia pages for a couple of those rn and you’re spot on. Nothing like it around me, but there is a Pakistani place that does Charsi Karahi with goat and it’s “viable contender for last meal” tier.
I need to learn how to make some Marathi food, when you said “spicy by Indian standards” you convinced me lol.
Thank you for sharing all this information and stuff. Not what I expected from a pizza shitpost.
I will doxx you to the mafia!
Please take pity on the Italians, they sent their best to America and now they are trying their best.
Yeah, Italian Pizza actually needs less time in the oven.
Precisely, if you’re going to ruin good ingredients like that leave them raw.
:D
Honestly they turn the heat way up compared to American pizza, so it’s faster but also burned in some spots :D
