you know sometimes i forget that pizza chains exist in other countries, here in sweden (and i think generally the nordics) they simply are not a thing because middle eastern immigrants have outcompeted them from the start.

From a blogpost i found there are aparently some 70-ish pizzerias per person in NYC, whereas there are 400+ per person in sweden. It's literally more likely to find a pizzeria in a small village than it is to find a grocery store, and theyr are ALL staffed by people from turkey/syria who are very likely to be family or at least know of each other. They also always serve other stuff like kebab or schnitzel.

It's honestly such a fascinating phenomenon and i'm sad the rest of the world doesn't effectively have pizza as a human right.
