Pizza

I don't have a comment. I just have this picture of Sophia Loren making pizza.

My 4 year old niece asked me what the word for pizza is in Italian.

My 4 year old niece asked me what the word for pizza is in Italian.

The word is the same; it’s the product that’s different.

I had to eat a pizza with my bare hands a couple of weeks ago, was mortified.

You're right posh, aren't you.

You're right posh, aren't you.

Posher than some
Not really I just like using tools to get the job done. Even with sandwiches.

Jesus wept, please don't tell me you use a knife and fork with butties?

I'm now thinking you have a butler moose

Pizzas taste so much better if eaten with fingers.

Of course that’s what to do. I also use cutlery to eat burgers. And chippie teas. If I’m in a restaurant or at home. Obviously if you’re sitting on the harbour wall eating a takeaway, that’s different.

Do you also use a knife and fork to eat sandwiches?

Oh dear. It shouldn't be and doesn't have to be different. It will be different if you go to an average pizza chain or go somewhere where the pizza is cooked in an average, everyday oven. Go to a decent pizzeria where the pizza is cooked in a wood fired oven and it will be very similar to a pizza bought in Italy.

Please don't ask people if they eat their own words with a knife and fork.

I know. But we’ve had pictures on here of what in the English speaking world counts as pizza but which wouldn’t in Italy.

For example:
Post in thread 'Pizza'

No. Almost never. Unless they’re big and hard to handle. Or “open” (ie “not a sandwich”).

Indeed, I agree, but you couldn't knock a half decent home made effort like that.

That doesn’t look home made

Indeed, you could be right. In that case, if that's a take away, very poor.

Looks pretty good to me

Sometimes, yet, if they're sufficiently chunky that it's easier to cut them up into bits.

Hot dog, sausage, onion, jalapeño. Cheese but no tomato sauce. It works

Just the one tonight, but, it is from a place on the king's road .

Looks good, but is it just me that stresses about uneven topping placement on pizzas?

Everything has ended up between 11 O'clock and 3 O'clock, so there are going to be some very dull slices and some "ooh ooh ooh" (due to the chilli!) slices

Hand crafted.

Again, hand crafted. They are not supposed to be symmetrical and look like they came out of a factory. Is was good.

 

[Epona]

tbf it doesn't take that much effort to distribute ingredients more evenly by hand

Scatter rather than dump a handful on.

 

[danny la rouge]

My lovely daughters made me pizza from scratch. Rising the dough while I was at band practice. It was delicious.

 

[Epona]

Oh that looks lovely, and made by your daughters - bloody fantastic

I have concerns about the topping placement as well, but gets a like for what looks like fantastic crust.
