It's an American pizza, and Texas is the most American state.

seems about right.

There's a reason pizza is so fattening

I don't know wtf a kcal is unless it's the energy required to heat one liter (or litre if your a faggot) of water one degree Celsius.

a pizza like OP's is probably around 1000 calories

for reference 120~ calories is a medium sized apple.

It's shit food that tastes awful and is full of additives. Having America on it is very fitting.
>>
>>8385541
It's true. Sometime way back in the 80s Domino's and then the other competing pizza places changed the names of small, medium and large pizzas to medium, large and extra large. If you order a "small" pizza at any American chain you will get the same size as someone else who orders a "medium".

and if you order a "large" you definitely won't get the largest pizza available.

It's a poor imitation of American food in the sense that it's inaccurate.

As far as frozen thick crust pizzas go I doubt it would fail to stack up to fair from the US. The Dr. Oetker thin crust certainly don't.

Texas is the only state Europeans can recognize by just its shape and often the only state they can name that isn't New York or California. For that reason it is popular for marketing American themed foods.

1 - Pizza isn't American.
2 - The brand is making fun of the country's people by naming their fatass pizza "Big americans". Plural.
3 - "American style" stands for the over inflated type of shitty dough used in most frozen pizza. You can see it looking like a sad toast on the box.

this

most americans are very opinionated on almost every subject, i suppose it stems from having a two party system ingrained from birth

ordering pizza for a work event is like fighting street by street in stalingrad

most of the time it ends up being like 1/2 supreme 1/2 chesse on one, 1/2 pep 1/2 hawaiian etc on the other

"Filet American"

I don't think the French have much of a concept of eating junk for fun so when they try to imitate American food they fuck it up by trying to make it fancy.

German food was so much better.

>>8388527
You can't eat barbecues and to try and claim them as American is laughable.

Burgers are German.

America has contributed nothing to the culinary world.

>If US food is so terrible and shitty
to name an example looks fucking amazing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-CBrJBFTF8&t=397s

It's just that the US is stereotypically known for overly processed cheap foods with too much additives and over the top fast food chains which your lower classes devour.

The only people I personnally know which didn't like it in the US were my grandmother and aunt, who said the food felt artificially sweet and greasy. But then again they're very Spartan in diet and they probably went to shit places. The same thing could've happened in Britain or here in NL.

>why are Europeans feeding their own people shitty knock off of already terrible and shitty food unironically?

Because the average European isn't retarded snobs and like novelty as much, so it's better to have it in stock than not.

The reason it's shit is because they're generally cheapass frozen foods. Dr. Oetker is actually a bad example because their 'American style pizzas' are probably the best bang for your buck if you want a hearty pizza in Northern Europe.

Pic related is a waaaay better example of shitty imitation meme Yank food.

That having been said, there apparantly are good American restaurants in places like Dublin, which makes sense. I only went to that Eddie Rocket's Diner which was pretty good.

First sentence should be:

Unless you are ordering a pizza all for yourself there should only be allowed three types. Pepperoni, sausage, and plain cheese. No substitutions, no exceptions.
