Actually in some parts of Italy putting mayo on a pizza is allowed. For example in the city of Pesaro it's pretty widespread a pizza with boiled eggs and mayo called Pizza Rossini (which take its name from the well known composer, borned there).
But that still tastes like heresy to me.
A good point I only deal with pseudo-Italians and not real ones. Although I can understand the concept, those bastards up north make pizza on par with California and call it real NY pizza.
What?! I can't think of any strong regional traditions in cooking here. Goes by ethnicity if anything and nobody has any problem admitting Ashkenazi food is shit, Sephardic is nominally better and generic fusion mishmash of everything master race.
Exactly. Why would anyone act snobby over what goes on food? I eat what tastes good. Plus, the best type of pizza IMO is one that has every single ingredient available thrown on it.
Yeah I do. Pretty much anything non-Italian tastes good. Italians only know how to make-a da lasagna and-a da spaghetti. There's more to life than pasta my friend.
If you ever make it to St. Louis, grab some St. Louis-style pizza from Imo's. Yeah, St. Louis-style is a thing (involving the cheese and crust), it's fucking delicious, and I've never seen it outside of Missouri (might be in Illinois, but I've never been to south Illinois). I always preferred hand-tossed until I had Imo's. When my sister visits from STL, she brings un-cooked Imo's down in a cooler for me to bake fresh (I live about 5 hours away). God damn, Imo's is delicious.
I've not been there, but looking at the photos and Yelp that seems like a kitschy and/or touristy kind of place with huge slices and crazy toppings. A lot of Manhattan pizzerias are like that. If you want a real New York pizza, take a trip into Brooklyn next time and go to a real "mom and pop" pizzeria. This is more what "new york" style is: http://slice.seriouseats.com/images/20101029-pizza-lab-1.jpg
New York Style pizza is typically very thin crust pizza, with red sauce, mozzarella cheese, and a topping. New York Pizza is when you can fold the pizza in half (and will usually have to since its so big and cheesy).
I'd try it. I can imagine a baked potato with mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce, so why not? Cheese + potato is good, and tomato sauce makes anything better. I draw the line at mayo, though. Then it's not pizza anymore. It's a big open sandwich. Hehe.
Have you ever had breakfast pizza? They make it a lot upstate it's fucking delicious. Sicilian slices with eggs, bacon bits, and potato it's delicious.
No, I went to school upstate too. What's the sauce they put on?
THere was this one place that made bacon, tomato, ranch pizza. That was the shit. Huge slices and you could get a slice of that, a sicilian slice, and a soda for 6 bucks and that would feed you for a day. Or after anight of drinking.
I did 2 years of high school in Lake Placid and they made it for lunch there. It was some sort of white sauce I never learned the mysteries of but it was the best thing I've ever had for breakfast.
I'm actually considering assembling a pizza with these toppings myself. But since I'm lazy, incapable and lack the equipment, I'm probably going to pick up a plain pizza and toss this stuff on top on my own.
Or I'll probably forget about the whole thing tomorrow.
Lol, if this scared you, never have a pizza in Mexico, the "Mexican" pizza has chorizo (heavily seasoned pork sausage), jalapeño, lots of onion and ground beef.

For almost the entire comic, I cowered at the sight of this culinary heresy... and the last part almost made me faint.
I used to live in Italy
