have you ever tried real, italian pizza? not that new york or

Tried it

Doesnt compare to Superior french cuisine

Fuck off Africa niger

It's really expensive. They need a kitchen long enough for them to apply the toppings using a slingshot from at least 20 feet away.

You know the one in the OP pic is quality due to the spread.

i eat it regularly, the closest pizza restaurant to my apartment won the World Pizza Championship in Italy in 2014

>>7990691
Yes, it sucks

>>7990691
Oh, it was gorgeousness and gorgeousity made flesh.

When I was in rome I ate pizza in this little shop. It was really tasty.
There is a lot of basil and a lot less sauce. the bread is not satisying, and it isn't as fatty or salty as american pizza
it was good though, just different

>>7990691
Yeah. It tasted exactly how you would expect garlic/basil/tomato and mozzarella on flour crust to taste.

>>7990691
Yeah it was lush. Best pizza I've ever tasted

>>7990691
Yes, I've been to Italy and had real Italian pizza. It's not bad, authentic Neapolitan pizza pretty good, but still like NY style better. Also in Italy I ordered a "German sausage" pizza. Literally sliced hot dogs.

>>7990691
Yes, and in Italy.

It was bland, crispy on the outside and floppy towards the middle when.

There is this restaurant near me that got certified to make and sell Neapolitan pizza. I haven't tried it yet.

It's on the Gold Coast, Australia.

>>7990691

yeah it was bretty gud, and healthier than american pizza

but american pizza is better. and the entire world agrees with me.

>>7990691
I prefer Italian to American pizza most of the time. More complex flavor. NY pizza is fucking amazing though, it feeds a different kind of craving.

>>7990691

I had one that looked just like that from a place that sold "Certified" 'politan 'za. It was alright I guess (I loved the dough and the sauce, but the cheese parts & basil were nothing to write home about IMO).

I was in Rome a few months ago, and I definitely wanted to try out some real Italian pizza. I had met a few people around at some pubs, and one afternoon I got them to take me to a pizzeria for dinner. They order for us, just some basic pizzas (I know enough Italian, but my accent is shite). A bit later, I see pic related come out, one for each of us.
I'm utterly shocked, and I pause a bit as I watch everyone eat theirs like nothing is wrong. I think maybe these guys are just trolling me, right? But no - I looked around, and saw some other people with this garbage too, unless they hired out an entire troupe just to fuck with me. Fuck Italy. Pic related - the fucking "pizza.

>>7992077
yo what the fuck, they used wonder bread too
haha

Eaten pizza in Italy - the main thing I noticed was that they use a lot less of everything. As in, the dough was thin, they didn't use much sauce, and there were only a few scattered bits of mozzarella.

Was delicious.

i've been to italy 4 times and sicily 4 times

the pizza there is good but it's because it's fucking good dough cooked in a fucking hot oven with fucking good tomatoes and fucking nice cheese and some basil. it's not rocket surgery. no need to put it on a pedestal. it's just that americans think the mark of a good pizza is excess. there has to be a sea of cheese and a mathematically perfect distribution of toppings. the cheese and toppings don't even have to be good, nor does the dough. it's stupid

>>7990691
Yeah it's good if made properly, tastes like an actual dish and not just random shit slapped together, like regular pizza does.

The lack of toppings makes it a bit bread heavy.

>>7992295

this

get the basics right, cook it well and it's really good, like a lot of other italian food too

>>7992295
my dad is ridiculous like this. he always has to "doctor it up" by putting on extra cheese and olive oil and other bullshit

all he does is ruin the fucking pizza every time by drowning it in cheese and oil for no fucking reason

inb4 it was a marinara with mozzarella. there are no "additions".

>>7990691
It's just meh for everyone. Maybe not for hipsters tho.

>>7992397

it doesn't matter what it's called, 'real italians' make pizzas with that configuration of ingredients all the time. i just posted that to show that they put garlic on their pizzas sometimes.

>>7992405
>it doesn't matter what it's called

but that's where you're wrong.

>>7990691
I've had something similar to OP's pic. Not sure if it was """""true"""""' Italian, but it was p good. I like American style pizza better, but that's just because that is what I have eaten my whole life. I've always felt that pizza was to be this greasy, delicious party food that you would order on special occasions like having company over, or watching a sporting event. This doesn't do the same for me, and for that, I can't say it's as good as regular pizza.

>>7990713
This, the chef that made that was a real straight shooter.

My family and I stumbled upon this little cafe in a town on our way to the amalfi coast when we visited this summer.

My aunt, who's lived in Italy for 25 years, said that the margherita pizza I ordered was the greatest she had ever eaten.

Words cannot describe how fucking insane that pizza was.

I know you /ck/ contrarians hate the southern half of Italy with a passion but I thought it was magical.

>>7992431
The sauce was just crushed tomatoes (which on their own were god tier), the cheese was just water buffalo mozzarella, the basil was just regular basil. But it was so fucking good. The crust was crispy yet tender and warm like a mother's kiss.

>>7990691
its great

>>7990691
pizza was invented as a way to get people to eat their scraps

>>7992353

>>7992627

Still though, one ingredient is stuck in one part of the food, making it incumbent on the eater to do the chef's job? Having said that, i'd still eat it. Maybe my blood sugar is low and that's why I'm complaining.

In DC, a restaurant named 2amys does real Italian pizza. It's a DOC product, and your restaurant can get certified outside italy, they just gotta import some stuff.

Honestly like they said, wood burning oven is a nice touch on all food, but I would order with double sauce myself.

Lived in italy for three years and ate "real" pizza all over the country. It generally sucks and is usually burned with giant yeast bubbles in it because dagos are lazy jews and can't into making fresh dough. Or maybe they give dumb tourists the old dough. Either way it sucks. Pizza is shit and their sauce is inferior to almost any local pizzeria in the states.

the biggest difference in mainland europe's pizzas is the fact they're mostly thin crust. They also throw more stuff onto it. Unlike takeaway pizzas I've had in the UK where it's the most basic ingredients ever and always super thick and doughy. just depends on personal taste.

Was in Bassano del Grappa for a month in May. Pizza there was excellent. As they say, less is more. 3rd generation restaurant owner in Asolo stressed quality yeast, water, and flour while not over kneading the dough ensures it is soft and flaky. A ladel of sauce and basil with mozerella, into the 800 degree brick oven for 6 minutes.

I thought it was really good and definetly authentic. Best I had out of Rome, Venice, Florence, etc.

Not in Italy, but Pizzeoli here in St. Louis is pretty faithful to the Italian style. Best pizza I've ever had, especially that wood fired crust.

I like to make semi Italian style, but I don't have a wood fired oven so the crust is never perfect. Wonder if there's any good ones I could set on my deck...

Anyway, pic related is mine. Tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, basil (only a little since I had used up most of my basil plant for the last one) and reduction of balsamic vinegar.

Yes, liked it with stracciatella as a topping

>>8000802
Me again. Anyone here ever use a Uuni 2S. I make pizza and bake bread pretty damn often (several times a week, 3 a week is probably the least I've done it in the past few months) so $300 for it's size is pretty damn tempting if it's good.

here in London, UK there are tons of authentic italian style pizzarias

Went to a place in Tokyo owned by a Japanese guy who trained in Italy and won best pizza in the world multiple times in competition in the late 2000s and early 2010s

It was the packed, needed a reservation unless you wanted to wait over an hour, and was easily the best Italian pizza I'd ever had.

It was good but still totally inferior to NY pizza, deep dish, or pretty much any style of American pizza.

>>8001036

Weebs really are this stupid....

>>8001089
>fag lord who has never been to Tokyo and doesn't realize how ridiculously competitive the restaurant business is over there
>Can't read that he won in international competitions

For the foods Japanese people are familiar with like Japanese, Korean, French, and Italian most of those guys train in the country of origin of those foods and then have an extreme dedication to getting it correct because if they don't some other guy will come in with a restaurant right down the street and take all your business.

Japanese people are extremely fickle, love to try the new hotness, and have zero loyalty when it comes to restaurants unless the restaurant truly is among the best. The Italian food you'll find in Tokyo if you go to some place that isn't a bargain dump will be as good if not better than the majority of Italian places in Italy.

Sure they get some stuff wrong for currently unfamiliar dishes like anything from Africa and most North American cuisine like BBQ, Deep Dish, and Mexican, but theres tons of classically trained in Europe chefs now throughout the country and the general public knows whats good and what to expect.

>>8002237
>it always 'happens' to be in or about japan doesn't it.

The argument usually goes something like this:

>>blah blah in Japan
But that doesn't count because it's Japan, not Italy (or whatever...)
>> But it actually does count, because Japan has an unusual focus on authenticity that makes the previous point irrelevant

Nobody is claiming that Japan is sooo amazing or needs to be worshipped, etc. But in this specific instance--the discussion of food in the context of traditional standards--the Japanese approach to things is certainly relevant. Should we be talking about Japan all the time? OFC not. But in this specific instance? Yeah, it's relevant.

Cooked another pizza. Quite good. Probably my best one yet.

Only thing lacking is that charred but chewey wood fired oven crust. Once I get a Uuni it'll be perfection.

>>8004513
turn the oven up

>>8004535
The max of 500f isn't nearly hot enough, need a solid 900f+ for the proper crust. And it'll never have the full wood fired taste without the smoke.

Uuni isn't too expensive or space consuming considering how often I make pizza or bread.
