Comment on Everything I, an Italian, thought I knew about Italian food is wrongparent

Well, get decent tomatoes and make your own sauce.

Good quality tomato is just incredibile.

Here in Vancouver, Via tevere makes an shockingly good tomato sauce, to the point that I get only margherita as pizza, because the flavor is so intense.

That being said, neither of them is better than the other: provola, mushrooms and truffle on a white base will blow your mind.

It's just that here in north america, they have so little choice in toppings, everything is pepperoni, something spicy, chicken everywhere. Damn!

I'm an Italian who now lives in Canada

Chicken does not belong on pizza.

You get arrested if you put it on pasta too.

What about pineapple? Doesn't Pizza Hawaii now exist long enough to count as traditional?

We don't put pineapple on pizzs either.. We do put nutella and apples, or nutella and strawberries on it, but it would be on "pizza bianca" (white pizza), which is not something you have in north America. It's similar to bread.
