My wife puts Tabasco sauce on her pizza, while I am convinced that an Italian person dies every time she does that. Help us sort this out, please.

    If you wanted pizza to be “italian”, it would have to have no tomatoes, peppers, pepperoni, buffalo milk cheese, basil or a whole bunch of other ingredients that are commonly added to pizza.

    Pizza is a global food, do with it as you will

      I mean, Italians put French fries and hot dog slices on pizza. Can we really say they’re the last word on “authenticity” ?

          I don’t see them serving these in America, though.

            And I don’t see them serving Panda Express in Beijing. The point is not authenticity it’s that different cultures take what they perceived to be another culture’s food and bend it to their preferences.

            But mostly I was making a joke because of its name.
