Why post this?
 
It's the Rachel Dolezal of Pizza. It wants to identify as Pizza and some people are "nice to it" because they're p***ies, but it can never truly be Pizza without tomato based sauce.
Meanwhile in Italy:

P.S. I would respect you more if you put pineapple on the pizza as it is at least a vegetable unlike tomatoes. BBQ Sauce is for the meats!

If BBQ Pizza is real pizza, despite not having one pillar of the holy trinity, then so is this...

"The proof is in the enjoyment!"

Don't you see what you sound like? What you've become?
I eat that all the time sans tomatoes...leave it to Girl Cheese over here to eat lectins as well.

Christ...fucking lectin eater...explains your commoner origins.

You've gotta look at pizza as a 'pizza of the heart' -- BBQ pizza, while not 'perfect' has the soul of a pizza. Grilled cheese and soup does not.

I grew up in Northern New Jersey -- so I know a thing or two about pizza.

I guess then it becomes a question of which bbq. Lexington style yes it is pizza, Eastern style no it is not pizza.

No. No BBQ is allowed.

If you went into a Pizza Parlor and they decorated it with one of the pillars of pizza, you'd see more symbols of red tomato than you would of bread or cheese. While all 3 are important, red tomato sauce is the most vital.

This thread is officially closed. Not enough deep thinkers here to support it.

To quote your tag, it's a parody of actual pizza.

I like the lightness of a true Italian pizza don't get me wrong. But if you want a hearty pizza that will give you a heart attack but fill you up, You eat American pizza with all the meats and the cheese and tomato sauce. Chicago style is a little much I will give you that.

You can put more than tomato and mozzarella in an italian pizza, you don't need all the grease and questionable cheese and meat and shit.

An average pizza place has a 4 page menu of pizzas...

When i was younger my usual pizza was margherita + ham + sliced boiled eggs + sliced wurstel - fries - black olives, around 33 to 35 cm of diameter.
Normal people wasn't even able to eat half of it and it still felt completely different from an american pizza.

I had a slice of bacon cheeseburger pizza that had yellow mustard for the sauce. It had pickles on top. The ideas was better than the execution.

Tomato's didn't originally come from Italy or that continent either. They showed up long after authentic Italian pizza was first created.

Indeed. Authentic/historic pizza is dough, cheese, olive oil and some flavoring/topping that can be sweet (like fruit) or salty (like fish)

if I go for actual Italian pizza I go for Mozzarella and fresh Tomatoes, or sometimes just a Margherita.

if I want something more out there I go for Salami, hot peppers, garlic and onions... but it's hard to find Pizzarias that have the right peppers... I got one relatively close tho thankfully.


as for BBQ pizza... nahhhh, that's just an insult to pizza. the only meat that goes on Pizza is Salami or Prosciutto! anything else is heresy

I've never been a picky eater, but I’ll never understand why people willingly put vegetables on a pizza. Just give me some sauce (obviously, you need that) and load it up with all the meat

At the office, we eat pizza pretty often, and the number of picky eaters is ridiculous. And don’t even get me started on the slow eaters. Those tiny bites every 15 minutes? Just finish the damn slice already.

Double meat, no nonsense. That’s all I need.

If you start with a pizza base and add a topping it becomes a pizza, i.e. if I melt a toblerone on it its a toblerone pizza, or if I shit on a pizza base its a shit pizza (incidentally they look pretty similar)

If you put the basic toppings of a pizza on a toast it becomes cheese and tomato on toast.

Ergo, pizza is defined by the base its formed on.

However, I used to use pitta bread as a base in my pizza oven. I would still argue that it was a pizza, even though that makes my opening statement re: the legitimecy of attaining pizza status redundant.

Conclusion: I'm really not sure.
