Considering tomatoes aren't even from Europe the Italians can think whatever they want about pizza, they're not experts, they're just as wrong as everyone else.

And that's why, as a Midwesterner, I proudly put black olives on my tacos. And it's tastes pretty damn great!
Pickles are pickles, but personally, I like pickled watermelon
Preparing that yourself or are there places where you can buy pickled watermelon?
All over the place. If your local store has a large pickle section, you’ll probably find it.

A plain slice in NY, maybe with some red pepper flakes and parmigiana. Fuckin bliss.
NY style pizza also isn't anything particularly amazing. New Yorkers are just louder about it, like with everything they do.

And ~~pasta~~ noodles are from china
Asian noodles and italian pasta evolved independently. It's a myth that Marco Polo brought the recipe home.

There's a lot of things to argue about, but pizza just isn't one of them. It's a chunk of bread with leftovers on it. If it tastes good on pizza, it belongs on pizza; and what tastes good on pizza depends on the tongue probing it.
Pineapple... sausage... anchovies... goat cheese... potato chips... a fucking strawberry slurpee - if you like it, you rock it.
The only wrong option is to abstain from making/ordering the pizza you want because that ingredient doesn't 'belong' there.
For what is worth, that's not how (most?) Italians think about pizza. It's not a "container" in which you put a bunch of things, but each pizza type is basically a separate dish.
I personally don't care what people put on their pizza, I simply avoid places that make "pizzas" in a non-italian fashion, like the american (supposedly NY style) ones where you get crust, 2 fingers of industrial cheese and a whole plant of oregano.
It's very similar for pasta, which many people think as a bread replacement.
This is why their pizzas are so boring. One or two toppings. Come on, get creative with it, Guissepe.
Most of Italian recipes are very simple. The focus usually is on quality on the ingredients and if they are good, a pizza with just mozzarella and tomatoes is already delicious. That said, even in Italy there are plenty of types of pizzas, but most of them don't have 20 ingredients, I suppose the point is that you actually want to taste what you eat, which is not the case when you mix many different things. There is a very messy and rich pizza (capricciosa) with a lot of toppings though (more than one obviously, but this is the most common).
Personally I am a margherita person, simple and boring is perfect, as long as it tastes great.
P.s. Giuseppe :)
simple and boring is perfect, as long as it tastes great.
As a Regina enjoyer I agree 100%

Imagine you couldn't try new things how stale or diet would be today.
I don't know. There are a lot of foods already out in the world.

I despise this traditional "that doesn't go on that dish" bullshit.
It was that way with the food where I'm from and well and now the new generation is doing whatever they want with those traditional recipes and making them modern and it's amazing. If you don't like pineapple on your pizza don't have it. But shut the fuck up with your "that's not a pizza". You sound like my great grandma
Edit: I'm from El Salvador and people used to freak out if you suggested that pupusas should have more variety than just pork, cheese and beans. They'd yell at you that it wasn't traditional. Now the young generation is making pupusas with chicken, fish, shrimp, sweet potato, zucchini, and so on, and it's amazing!
the worst is when people are like this for a dish that was invented as a way to use the shitty limited ingredients of the area because everyone was poor and that's all they had back then. That's not even tradition. Or slightly less annoying is when people try your traditional dish from the country your family comes from and say its not correct in some way, but they are from one of the 6 neighboring countries with pretty much the same food but the name is spelled slightly different and have regional plants as seasoning instead.

In Poland, some people put fruit juice in their beer (piwo z sokiem), and it is fucking delicious
Shandies are great. Radler is very refreshing
Fruity beer is also common in Belgium. It's not mixed with juice but is already flavored in the bottle as you buy it. And yes, it's delicious. Kriek for instance is a pretty famous cherry flavored beer.
Also non-alcaholic beer mixed with juice is a pretty decent drink after sports. The slight bitterness and the bubbles makes it really refreshing on hot days.
It's not about a flavoured beer - there's plenty of em. This is about a concentrated form of juice you usually dilute in water. You put it into beer, it turns reddish-pink and a lot of people preffer to drink it that way

Pizzas are just open-faced sandwiches. Anything you can put in a sandwich, you can put on a pizza.
To (controversially) go one step further, all unsweetened carbohydrate bases are interchangeable.
You can put pasta topping on a pizza, you can put pizza topping on rice, you can put toastie fillings on a potato waffle and it always ends up nice.

Combining sweet and savory food to piss people off an age old tradition.
Shame. Only shame.
Btw, carbonara with tuna and citrus juice is pretty good.
If my grandma had wheels she would have been a bike.

I’m Portuguese and I’ve seen that abomination here. I’m sorry, I thought it was contained. Now, have you guys heard about chocolate pizza for dessert?
