    The pizza we eat today is nothing like what they ate in Naples.  It evolved quite nicely.

    I love busting balls about pizza and tacos, lol!

    I guess I'm in the minority. Looks like an average pie to me at best. 
    I'm with you, just cheese and sauce, nothing special..
    Just cheese and sauce? Yea. It’s pizza. 
    Pizza it's more than this..
    NY style pizza is cheese, dough, sauce.  Maybe a topping.
    But that is it.  

    No cream.
    No buffalo chicken.
    No broccoli rabe.

    Cheese.
    Dough.
    Sauce.
    Only kids here eating just cheese and sauce..
    Because you don't know any better... I forgive u.  Come hang out w me at the kids table and try some slices.

    Or Italians from BOOOOOOOOOOKLYN OR STATEN islandddd, ask em to say a sentence in Italian, fake ass accents like I guess the not real Pizza, everyone of those hardcore accents are FUGAZI...yes there is an authentic accent in those burrooghs, for the record Italians from Italy laugh at NY Italians who use stolen Valor by Heritage

    For better or worse, pizza loaded with non-traditional toppings sell. My kids love pizza with BBQ chicken, penne vodka, chicken cutlets, buffalo chicken, bacon ranch, etc. I could maybe do fried eggplant, but that is about it. I did like some of the Two Boots pizzas, especially the Tony Clifton, and I do like hot honey on a pepperoni pie. I do not eat a ton of pizza, but when I do, it is either a grandma pie or a simple mushroom and onion. What is crazy is that a large pie with two toppings at our local spot is $27.

    If you want to get “ technical” Neapolitan isn’t real pizza

    only personal
    12”
    Wood fored

    thats it

    do I critique Neapolitan… no, it’s good… but It ain’t authentic for these so called purists 

    and Fish… next time someone mansplains to me how to cook it… you are more than welcome to come 150 miles out with me, you will be givin a job and if you barf you can swim home 

    “ experts” 🤣🤣

    Kids will eat vegetables loaded with toppings too, lol.

    Lets talk prices.  As a teen.  90 cents a slice. A pie was $7.

    Today a pie is $18.

    W a topping 25.

    off topic a bit

    Im doing a major DOT Rig in midtown manhattan yesterday, we need to get a final pc of a Chiller, im a Mechanical Contractor...PM, I dabble in Engineering.....It was not going to fit, specs were wrong

    so me with 15 years experience in the industry....have an idea on how to take it, Hoist it a certain way to clear a bulkhead....This BLOWHARD cause hes A NEPO...so automatically hes an Expert...says it cant be done

    It got done, he looked like a dumbass in front of a crew of our Union workers up 50 floors, on the roof....he doesnt say ...hey man, that was impressive how you figured that out...hes a "REAL ENGINEER" as I mentioned, I dabble...meaning I correct Their work all day long.....maybe a portion of their $300k plus salary should come my way, IDK

    so hes standing around like a conquering Hero.....Union dudes laughing at his pompous ass

    so i decide to pull the old ROOKIE Challenge to him....hes no rookie

    So i say Brad....do me a favor, Yes Ivan......can you ask the pipe fitter Forman for a bucket of STEAM....he goes and literally  for 15 minutes is asking for it, being the Expert he is

    Everyone is dyingggggg, belly laughter

    I wont explain the joke....if you dont know, Brad might be related to you

    My point is....be self aware

    or try

    They haven't had a good slice.  They don't know any better, forgive them.  One of them has salad on a flatbread and calls it Pizza.  The other one is Canadian...

    I'm not the salad guy, I'm the white cream guy..
    Swede is the salad guy; Greek is white cream. Not sure what Hugh is but I, for one, have been very unimpressed with canadian “cuisine,” outside of poutine. I have not been to Winnipeg tho. Do they have an sirport?
    there really isn't anything strictly "canadian". It's all a mishmash of immigrant food (poutine is french). And don't say "canadian bacon", cuz most canadians a) don't call it that and b) don't eat it aside from Eggs Benedict. 

    Yes, we have an international airport.
