>Grated cheese, oregano, crushed red pepper,
yes, yes, yes
>garlic powder / garlic salt.
wut. it depends what else is on the pizza. a plain cheese slice? oregano.

the red pepper

Hopefully nothing because the pizza is great and doesn't need any additions.

Crushed pepper would be like... the choice though I wouldn't use it.

Crushed red pepper.

I've seen garlic salt at a lot of pizza joints and it really does add a lot. you don't pile it on though like the cheese

>>4309639
Any self-respecting pizzeria would make good enough pizza to not need any end user additives.

There was a pizza place that I use to worship that's closed now, (they had been open for like, 30 years, but the owner died and the kids didn't want to carry it on) that had the most genious of table toppings, a mixture! They'd mix red pepper flakes, oregano, garlic, a little rosemary, and parmesan (I'm pretty sure there were some other things in there too, probably onion powder and god knows what else), and put it all in those big shakers. THAT was the bomb. They also had just standard shakers of parm and red pepper too, if that was all you wanted, but the seasoning blend was where it was at.

>>4309683
This makes no sense. What if I like hot pepper flakes on my pizza?

>>4309683
Not every customer wants their pizza spicy

>>4309691
Ignore anon. He believes that everyone has the same taste.

>>4309691
He's right though, stuff like cheese or oregano is usually already contained in the pizza.
Red pepper is the only thing on that list that would make sense, or maybe the pepperoncini oil thing you occasionally have in pizzerias.

>>4309700
Yeah but people have different tastes. I like lots of oregano and will put more on if given the opportunity.

You're all wrong, this is all they should have.

>>4309718
lolno

It makes perfect sense, why insult the man who spent his life perfecting his flavor and texture, sauce, toppings, and dough, by throwing junk on top, ESPECIALLY red pepper flakes because spicy foods take away from the actual flavor of a food just to feed your masochism.

Go eat cheap delivery shit if you want to dump shit on top to "suit your taste" or make your own.

It's like drowning your sushi in soy sauce or adding wasabi, it's like you don't want to taste it you just want to stuff your face.

>>4309736
>perfecting his flavor and texture, sauce, toppings, and dough
TO HIS TASTE

>make your own
Why? There's plenty of great pizzerias around that make a damn good slice and still allow me to add something if I'd like to.

>>4309736
So a stranger who doesn't know your personal tastes can perfectly create something tailored to you?

>because spicy foods take away from the actual flavor of a food just to feed your masochism.
hahahah you obviously know nothing about food

>>4309748
Also,
>make your own
I can't compete with a brick oven

Cum on guys, it depends on where you're eating.
Generally you should eat food the way you like it, but it also depends on the occasion/restaurant/chef.
Nobody cares what you add to a pizza or in a burger joint, but if it's from a renowned high tier chef or restaurant, you should probably eat it the way it's served, to their discretion.

>>4309760
Of course, but guess what? Pizzerias don't have "renowned high-tier" chefs.

>>4309763
There's different tiers of pizzerias too.

Grated parm motherfuckers

>mfw when I am Italian

I usually only throw any of that stuff on pizza that's kinda shitty

>grated cheese
Why? There is already TON of cheese on the pizza itself. Isn't it unhealthy enough.. Oh wait, you're American, lel.

>>4309818
>>all cheese taste da same guyz lelelehehuhuh

shut the fuck up

>>4309752
>>4309748
>your personal tastes
>TO HIS TASTE
I bet you don't even try the pizza before you put your shit all over it or you've never had pizza from an artisan. He's not making it for his taste or your taste, he's making it for how it should taste and how it should be enjoyed. When you alter what he painstakingly made for decades it's an absolute insult saying, "I'm a special butterfly and can't enjoy your shit pizza because MY TASTE isn't YOUR TASTE."

>>4309780
THIS

>>4309934
You're so fat it hurts. How are you even alive you living planet.

>>4309949
>implying all pizzerias employ people who've dedicated their lives to making pizza.

>>4309960
Never said they do, if you see at the beginning of this argument I said "any self-respecting pizzeria."

>>4309949
>he's making it for how it should taste
His interpretation of how it should taste. Meaning, his taste. Derp some more.

>>4309818
Grated Parmesan is great. It feel like a pleb for enjoying it so much but I actually prefer shake-container parm over the real stuff.

>>4309967
>implying most restaurants don't respect themselves.
Hey guy, they respect themselves a lot more than they respect you, and they will give customers what they want, INCLUDING shakers of cheese and red pepper, so you know, fuck off.

>>4309970
>prefer shake-container parm over the real stuff

didn't yo mama tell you bout going full retard?

>>4309969
And you're still insulting him, his family, and his country. Good job anon. Go ruin other foods like we Americans love to do.

Lol op king of niggers, all a pizzeria needs is chili.

>>4310010
HIPSTER AS FUCK.
You're soooooo edgy, anon, be careful, you might cut yourself! (But I bet you do that anyway.)

>>4310010
You're deranged.
See:
>>4309972
>they will give customers what they want

>>4309972
>>4310042
I'm sure some will, they want customers, but ask that artisan how he feels when you add stuff.

>>4310065
Probably alright since I paid. And I obviously wasn't the first one.

Would you like to go back to how different people have different tastes?

>grated cheese
nasty powdered parmesan with preservatives and anti-caking agents, probably with screw-top lids to be tampered with by multitudes of assholish trolls
>crushed red pepper
no real argument there, but it's better cooked onto the pizza instead of having to add it afterward
>garlic powder / garlic salt
that is full-on gross

any really self-respecting pizzeria would season their pizzas appropriately before putting it into the oven, but I guess I find crushed red pepper least offensive

don't get me wrong, I've eaten my fair share of pizza from places that sling it, but most of those places really aren't self-respecting.

>>4310070
Different people have shit tastes, like how some people enjoy American cheese and other enjoy a sharp cheddar or brie.

>>4310088
Sprinkling some crushed red pepper onto my slice turns it from a nice aged cheddar into a Kraft single?

>>4309949

Remember, you're conversing with people who don't come from a country filled with artisans but a country filled with underpaid illegal immigrants or overpaid hipsters making their pizzas. You're talking to a group of people who have zero traditions in their lives besides catching new episodes of their favorite show. You are talking to a group of people who been told every single day of their existence that they are special snowflakes and they can have everything their way. The only taste the majority of these people have is high salt, high fat, and high sugar and enjoying a simpLe pizza margherita is seen as the greatest of insults, WHAT THE FUCK BRO, PIZZA WITHOUT MEAT? THAT'S NOT PIZZA YOU EDGY HIPSTER FAGGOT!


I hope this helps you next time you choose to educate the corporate lab rats of the world.

You're right. Sometimes I like to try and see if today will be different. I just like to hope that one day it may be.
