why do people look down on margherita pizza? serious question

>> No.19731168

Americans get confused and angry if a dish isn't heaped up with toppings to ensure maximum calories are consumed when shoveling it into their gaping maw.

>> No.19731170

the seeming lack of toppings makes it look bland, and it often is the case when ordering from the cheaper pizzerias

Because it relies much more heavily on the quality and freshness of the ingredients than pizzas with meat toppings like pepperoni or sausage.

A properly made margherita pizza is great, but if you try to make one with jarred pizza sauce, pre-shredded mozzarella, and wilty old basil leaves from one of those grocery store plastic boxes, it's going to taste bland as hell.

It's literally street food, or 'fast' food. Like Banh Mi. Or Pho for that matter. Both are breakfast street foods from Vienam that aren't even served at breakfast outside of the country, not to mention neither of them use accurate/authentic ingredients outside of the country either.
