how do americans see this and not immediately realize it was a terrible idea

>>10615125

It looks raw, under cooked and absolutely shocking. Quite frankly it's an embarrassment, and you should be ashamed of yourself. I mean honestly, I wouldn't even serve it to my dog. It's garbage, it's trash. It's fucking abysmal. Is that really the best you can do? Is that the kind of quality you're aiming for? Really? I don't know why you even post here. Why do you even bother. You might as well give up. Though based on this monstrosity, you've already given up, haven't you? What is it, are you depressed? Are you done? Just look at the pepperoni, it's not even cooked. The raw fucking onions. They're not even sliced properly. I mean come on, you know this. You know this isn't good. Yet here you are, posting this shit again. Have you even looked at the crust? Or the cheese? I mean, what is that? They're snow fucking white. The dough has barely been cooked. Did you even put it in the oven? Did you forget to turn it on? It's just sad. This isn't a fucking pizza, it's a travesty. An absolute shambles. I don't know what else to say. It's just not good enough. Throw it in the fucking bin, and just stop. You can't cook. You're useless. Utterly useless.

Mushrooms, red onion, roasted garlic, green peppers, sun dried tomato and pesto. Thinner crust preferably.

Alabama juicy

It's always surprised and bothered me that St. Louis style pizza (or any type of cracker-crust, oregano-based pizza) isn't more popular.

I'd take a St. Louis style Supreme pizza with anchovies from a good place over any other type of pizza on the planet.

>>10615128
Because it usually looks more like this and it was actually an amazing idea.

>>10615109
>>10615616
Detroit style best style.

>>10615628
that still looks like a horrid mess of slop.

>>10615628
too much ketchup.
even a flyover wouldn't eat that much.

>>10615616
St. Louis pizza would be okay if not for the cheese. But that processed crap just absolutely fucking ruins it.

Only time I ever literally could not finish a pizza was when I was in Missouri. It was Imo's for what it's worth. I'm sure there are better places in St. Louis proper but the locals in the town I was staying said Imo's is really good.

>>10615616
There's a place here in Austin called East Side Pies that makes a lot of stuff similar to that. I usually go to a Greek place for my pizza though because it's next to a liquor store with a fantastic beer selection and also I can get dolmas or falafel on the side.

>>10615652
this too looks like complete garbage swimming in oil and devoid of any non-vomit-like texture

For me, it's Totino's™

>>10615681
Detroit pizza has a fuckin' great texture. It's super crispy.

t. not that anon

>>10615628
That looks more like a pie than a pizza.

>>10615674
Pretty much only the places actually IN St. Louis use provel on their pizza, which is fortunate because provel is fucking disgusting.

Everywhere outside of Missouri uses your standard mozzarella/provolone cheese and are better for it.
It's actually why I'm kind of annoyed that the type of pizza is called 'St. Louis style' when St. Louis exclusively makes the shittiest, most inedible version of it.

>>10615616
>>10615628
>>10615652
why the fuck can't americans make a decent pizza? why do americans undercook their pizzas so the cheese is all slop instead of holding together on the slice? why do americans cut their pizzas into squares like autists instead of radially or just making a square pizza in the first place?

>>10615687
Looks like school lunch pizza

>>10615687
There's no crust, the cheese is an oily soup, and it's in the wrong fucking order. that's not a pizza, it's a war crime

Homemade with a 48 hour fermented sourdough crust. Fuck your corporate pig slop masquerading as pizza.

reminder that chicago style """""pizza"""" is actually a just a cheese and bread casserole.

>>10615699
we do all of those things you left behind sheep fucker.

>>10615699
I get that you're 'le epicly baiting', but the idea of non-Americans bothering to have opinions on pizza is adorable.
European pizza is, without exception, worthlessly homogeneous; in that generic Pizza Hut style and only differentiated by the choice of toppings.
When even the smallest European village has their choice of, at the very least, three different pizza joints selling styles of pizza so different from each other you might not even be able to meaningfully compare them as being the same food, THEN I could take their opinions on the subject seriously.

>>10615719
do americans really think this looks appetizing?

>>10615730
putting a block of cheese in a pan with some dough at the bottom doesn't make a casserole, it makes a block of melted cheese on some oily bread

even if you want to argue it's still a casserole but just a shit one, a defining feature of casseroles is that they're mixed. a chicago """""pizza"""""" has distinct layering, and is more of a pie

>>10615740
>European pizza
not only are you O B S E S S E D but that's where pizza is from you fucking moron, and across europe pizza is incredibly diverse. don't get pizza in sweden, it'll have bananas and cold sauces on it and shit

>>10615699
You really can't ask "Why do Americans..." in this context. There are many, many different types of American pizza.

New York style is fuckin' great and it's on par with anything Italians make.

>>10615740
>European pizza is, without exception, worthlessly homogeneous
says the person who seems to think europe is just one big country

>>10615757
new york style is just montreal style if you didn't cook it long enough and used the worng types of cheese, resulting in yet another pile of oily slop served on a piece of low quality chemically leavened bread

>>10615755
Pizza outside of Italy and Germany is shit though. Don't even get me fucking started on Nordic or Eastern Europeans' idea of pizza.

>>10615740
>European
why do americans think everyone not from america is from europe

why do americans think europe is culturally or even politically homogeneous

>>10615757
please refer to >>10615125

>>10615769
>EUROPEAN PIZZA IS ALL THE SAME AND IS ALL EXACTLY LIKE PIZZA HUT
>except for in italy, germany, and all the countries that are not italy or germany
way to contradict yourself, idiot. you are fully O B S E S S E D

>>10615766
>montreal style
Literally what? Go jerk yourself off about poutine somewhere else. The places with real pizza styles are talking.

>>10615774
You're talking to more than one person, dumdum.

And how is a bad picture of a Chicago pizza relevant to what we're talking about here?
I know Italian pizza is good. But guess what, we have it here too. Picrel is from an American restaurant.

>>10615652
>Detroit style
there's a gun and a pack of cocaine under that cheese right?

>>10615771
>why do americans think everyone not from america is from europe
We don't.

>>why do americans think europe is culturally or even politically homogeneous
For the same reasons that non-Americans seem to think the same thing about America. Newsflash: most people don't know a damn thing about countries that they haven't lived in.

>>10615699

Let's see your idea of a good pizza then, schmuck.

You talk a lot of shit but I bet you don't know a good pizza from a hole in your ass.

>>10615757
It looks raw, under cooked and absolutely shocking.

>>10615719
Quite frankly it's an embarrassment, and you should be ashamed of yourself. I mean honestly, I wouldn't even serve it to my dog.

>>10615715
It's garbage, it's trash. It's fucking abysmal. Is that really the best you can do? Is that the kind of quality you're aiming for? Really? I don't know why you even post here. Why do you even bother. You might as well give up.

>>10615687
>>10615652
Based on this monstrosity, you've already given up, haven't you? What is it, are you depressed? Are you done?

>>10615639
>>10615628
Just look at the pepperoni, it's not even cooked. The raw fucking onions. They're not even sliced properly. I mean come on, you know this. You know this isn't good. Yet here you are, posting this shit again.


>>10615616
Have you even looked at the crust? Or the cheese? I mean, what is that? They're snow fucking white. The dough has barely been cooked. Did you even put it in the oven? Did you forget to turn it on?

>>10615574
It's just sad. This isn't a fucking pizza, it's a travesty. An absolute shambles. I don't know what else to say.

>>10615125
It's just not good enough. Throw it in the fucking bin, and just stop. You can't cook. You're useless. Utterly useless.

>>10615789
>perfect neapolitan pizza
>perfect
I too enjoy burnt basil from chefs who don't know what the fuck they're doing

>>10615755
Yes yes, "Pizza was invented in Italy" and "You can get shawerma on pizza here, or banana on pizza here, or tubed fish paste on pizza here".
Except that you don't eat Italian-styled pizza, you eat the culturally-imported generic American-styled pizza that Americans would associate with basic-bitch food chains like Pizza Hut.
Europe simply doesn't have the variety or culture around pizza that America has, which has resulted in regional variations that are utterly distinct from one another in every way, and that you couldn't find in Europe anywhere outside major cities with restaurants catering specifically to that style.

>>10615766
Okay, I'll be more specific: this is how it is in Scotland, England, France, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Belarus.
Maybe it's different in the shitty parts of Europe; maybe the dough is made of mud and they top it cigarette butts.

>>10615771
Where the fuck else is there going to be pizza worth mentioning?
Japan and Korea? It's just the same shit; generic default-style pizza except they shove hotdogs in the crust, or they top it with hamburger, or whatever other nonsense.
Again, it's not the style of the pizza that is different, it's the toppings. Solely the toppings.

>>10615789

>>10615801
I'd eat almost any pizza that isn't that frozen box garbage that you posted.

>>10615789
look at how fucking undercooked that is, yet the basil and parts of the crust are burnt. was this put in at only 200 degrees or something? was this only cooked half way at 800 but then microwaved to-order or something? It's a plate of oil on obviously dry, stale bread.

>>10615802
Took me a sec

>>10615808
>a personal italian thin crust is going to be the same as a finnish monstrosity made on extra-fluffy bread covered in donair and ranch

really, the difference between american pizza and """european""" pizza is that pizza in europe tends to be actually cooked all the way instead of simply microwaved

>>10615802

>>10615719
>literally just eating a two-pound block of melted mozzarella with a single piece of pineapple on it to make it ""healthy"
Do People From That Country Really Engage This Activity?

>>10615824
>Referring to it as "American Pizza"
Dude, you're not even on the level that I can adequately explain how wrong the tree you're barking up is.
"American Pizza" is not a thing, except possibly in the sense that you're referring specifically to the generic style of pizza you would find at Domino's, or Pizza Hut, or in Europe.
American Pizza is comprised of dozens of completely different styles of pizza that are so dissimilar to each other that the only way they're meaningfully connected is that they're descended from the same dish, and that they're discs of bread with toppings on them.

It's like saying the EuroLeague is just as good as the NBA; the comparative lack of popularity, lack of history, lack of competition, lack of cultural front-centeredness of it, all of it results in Europe lacking the diversity and quality of American pizza.

>>10615894
>wah wah u cant call it american pizza cuz american pizza is 2 diverse, itz european pizza that is all the same :( :( :( :(

nigger you have lost the plot, i'll reddit space it so it's closer to your native language

pizza, when made by americans, is almost always undercooked

americans can't cook, and so this results in shit pizza regardless of the specific style, because the same mistakes are consistently made and result in consistent problems across all styles

>quality of american pizza
the only quality american pizza has is that it's closer to a cheese and grease soup than some kind of pie or bread dish

>>10615894
>you're referring specifically to the generic style of pizza you would find at Domino's, or Pizza Hut, or in Europe.
That's exactly right.

>>10615908
>pizza, when made by americans, is almost always undercooked
You're talking about what was posted above.

It's an accurate description of average "delivery style" pizza, which is the most common in the US. But we do have the proper stuff too.

>>10615128
Because the midwest is fucked.

>>10615921
>But we do have the proper stuff too.
prove it nigger even when you tried in >>10615789 all that image is of is some oiled up bread and burnt basil leaves

Daily reminder mods are gay as fuck

>>10615908
Is this what shitposting is nowadays?
Just saying nonsensically false inanities and considering literally any response whatsoever a win?
>Americans can't cook
#GotEm

>>10615628
>eating an entire kilogram of half-melted mozzarella per slice
do americans really?

>>10615811
Why don't Europeans stop generalizing every stupid negative observation they can muster from their inane drivel which constitutes some sort of thought process for them?
>>10615908
Somehow you manage to be worse than Reddit. Congratulations.

>>10616079
Sure, why not?
Considering that Chicago-Style is one of the very few pizza sub-types you can commonly find outside of America, I'd say non-Americans do too.

>>10615109
Not like that.

>>10616093
>Chicago-Style is one of the very few pizza sub-types you can commonly find outside of America,
I have never once seen it anywhere I've traveled in Canada

>>10615832
Is the mysterious substance above the meat another form of noodles or cheese?

>>10615109
Mon dieu is that fucking cornbread?

>>10615699
why does european pizza have the consistency of soup and is eaten with a knife and fork from the inside out? why do europeans put mayonnaise and french fries on their pizza?

>>10615709
the crust is like 80% of that pizza, you mongoloid

Just cheese.

>>10615757
what the fuck is up with New York style everyone says its the best but when i see a pic its just a slice of cheese pizza does it tast diffrent or what

>>10617813
It's the default pizza that the shitty chain pizza style devolved from.
NY pizza is to chain pizza what a cheeseburger is to the Big Mac.
That's it.

Ignore all Voodoo Witchdoctors who insist it's fairies in the tap water or the sweaty Italian particles in the air that makes NY pizza magical.

>>10617813
>does it tast diffrent or what
it actually does because of the mineral makeup of the local water supply.

Made this today. Grilled on a skillet for extra crispiness.

>>10617813
The NY approach to pizza is quality over quantity. The idea is that the food speaks for itself

Midwesterns don't know foods that didn't come from the Sysco truck so the only way they can make their '''''food''''' palatable is to pile more of it on, pile moron, because they are fucking morons. Then add ranch, hot sauce, and shredded pre-bagged ''''cheese'''', then jalapeno poppers (omg it sounds like poopers because peppers make me poop!), then some tobasco [sic], then some ketchup, then more ranch

It's the pizza equivalent of typing in all caps

>>10618914
>The NY approach to pizza is quality over quantity
laughable

>>10615128
Funny enough, most did. Then some dipshit news reporter publicized it just before the place that started that style went out of business. After that, it became the will of the mob. And I don't mean the illegal type. Groups of humans chastise and grind down those that don't fit into the "norm".

>>10618914
>Muh midwesterns
>Posts food that Quebecfags make in California
>NY's best defense of their pizza is a crazy-person-on-the-subway style rant about how at least it's better than bottom of the barrel nonsense

>>10618914
I love New Yorkers talking about pizza when NY style pizza is something like the fourth best regional pizza type.

ITT yuropoors and coastfags that have never tried deep dish pizza in their life act like it is below them even though it is the peak form of pizza and intimidates them

fried beef instead of dough

>>10615109
what the fuck is THAT

>>10615652
this but picrelated in particular is bad
