Wouldn't most pizza snobs say that Margherita is the most pure pizza? After all, this guy doesn't actually like pizza, he's just using it as a vehicle for all that extra cheese. Hell, pizza Marinara doesn't have cheese at all and originally didn't even have tomato sauce. Surely that's even more pure? I guess I'm a pizza snob snob. /s

Also, It's kind of a stupid opinion. It's ignorant of some absolutely fantastic kinds of pizza like capricciosa, which is one of the most popular kinds of pizza in Italy. If the inventors of pizza say plenty of toppings are fine and even good, why be so prescriptive for everyone else? If OOP could expand their definition of pizza, they might even get to try the magnificence of pissaladière.

So..bread?

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 5 days ago

Add the toppings back in and boom, focaccia.

[–] Depress_Mode@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Basically. Top it with olive oil, olives, and some anchovies for a traditional fisherman's snack.

Most people I've seen making claims of what "real" pizza is tend to point at a traditional Napolese pizza, which is just basically a cheese pizza. They also tend to say that's where pizza was invented, despite evidence that pizza has practically always existed since humans invented bread. Pretty much every single culture on Earth has some kind of flat bread+sauce+topping food.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

which is just basically a cheese pizza.

it's not even that, it's fucking bread with a bit of cheese on it.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 5 days ago

Gotta take one of the 2 slices where the fat slab of cheese was placed before someone else takes 'em.

[–] pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 days ago

tomato sauce, cheese, pepperoni and olives is my favorite

No, because it was BS ... 😆

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago

I do agree actually, kinda. I love a supreme pizza, and I'll order whatever toppings I feel like, but I usually reserve judgement on a pizza place until I've had their cheese pizza. It's hard to mess up toppings, but too many pizza places here in the Rockies have that mindset that all pizza is is just a vehicle for toppings. The result is that their cheese pizza tastes like nothing. This isn't a given! Cheese pizza can be amazing! Not saying you should only order cheese, but if you're in a position where you make pizza, make sure that your cheese pizza is a good pizza. Even if nobody orders it, it'll make your other pizzas that much better

[–] ShortFuse@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Toppings are meant to enhance the flavor. But a lot of times they are used to mask bad pizza.

I know people trash pineapple on pizza, but pineapple is meant to balance well with tomato sauce. Pineapple on cheese bread is just bad. And "tomato sauce" varies wildly based on how it's prepared.

[–] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I agree but this shit is pretentious as hell

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Pretty sure this is just satire, mocking coffee snobs.

[–] synapse1278@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Simple pizzas are often best. To much toppings will prevent the dough from baking properly.

As a thumb-rule: 3 toppings max.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I'll have my cancer with olives, thank you.

[–] superfes@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Extra cancer please, yes I know it costs the same as an extra topping.

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days ago

Kinda agree with the top post tbh.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 3 points 5 days ago (2 children)

this guy has never been in a genuine swedish pizzeria run by a hardworking guy from the Levant. that's true pizza.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

you lost me at Swedish pizza, but masterfully bought me back into the fold with the Guy from the Levant.

Bravo, sir.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 2 points 5 days ago

those guys have truly mastered the art of fusion cuisine. one place i used to frequent served a döner kebab four-cheese pan pizza with french fries on top.

then there's of course the infamous Calskrove.

[–] hanke@feddit.nu 2 points 5 days ago

En kebabpizza med isbergssallad, pommes, färska tomater, färsk gurka och stark sås tack.

[–] Eiri@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 days ago

I like my pizza with lots of sauce, way more vegetables than crust, and cheese is actually optional.

I don't care what the purists think. I like what I like and it's valid.

[–] Geometrinen_Gepardi@sopuli.xyz 3 points 5 days ago

I bet he also prefers added sugar/syrup in the sauce, the dough and even the cheese.

[–] A7thStone@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Why not go all the way and get tomato pie.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Psh, that's for people who don't truly appreciate the full experience. The only true way to appreciate pizza is to spoon live yeast, flour, and water into your mouth separately, so you can appreciate the quality of each unique ingredient.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Pretty sure this is just satire, mocking coffee snobs.
