Obviously some places do the more fancy mozzarella blobs but most places it's just grated cheese (usually still mozzarella though) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 9 child comments replies: [β] zikzak025@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago (2 children) Seems like the UK has it wrong on the name, then. The margherita pizza I am familiar with has large slices of mozzarella, a chunky tomato sauce, and basil on top.

That's a margherita pizza in the US. Ordering a margherita pizza and getting a generic pizza made with shredded cheese and marinara sauce would be a major disappointment. Imagine my chagrin when, traveling in Europe, I ordered a margherita pizza and received a cheese pizza. I thought they got my order wrong. It took me like three tries on separate days before I found out that that's just what margherita means outside the US... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] Rothe@piefed.social 3 points 1 day ago (3 children) Americans easily gets confused when people are using different terms and words for things than Americans are.

And I learned that while in Italy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pizza_Margherita permalink fedilink source parent [β] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 2 points 19 hours ago Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I related a personal experience about when I learned there was a difference, but that doesn't mean I thought it was wrong. Just a humorous way to laugh at myself while saying "the world is bigger than you think, and words can mean different things in different places." permalink fedilink source parent [β] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 1 point 18 hours ago Wouldn't it be the other way around. The comment that spawned this entire thing was literally about what Americans in america call it. And we use different words for the two things. So this is a case of Europeans being confused that Americans call two different ways to prepare a pizza by two different names. permalink fedilink source parent [β] zikzak025@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 child) I mean, I've had margherita pizzas outside of the US as well and they matched my expectations. At least in Asia and South America. So I guess it just leaves me puzzled as to how much of Europe (maybe just the non-NA Anglosphere) is getting it wrong when Italy is right there. I've also seen pizzas that I would describe as margherita pizza when visiting Scandinavia, but if you're in Sweden and you're having anything other than the banana curry pizza, you're doing yourself a disservice permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago (2 children) leaves me puzzled as to how much of Europe is getting it wrong when Italy is right there. That's the part you're not getting. Europe isn't the one "getting it wrong." If you want to claim that only one way is correct, then the US is the incorrect way. A country's proximity to italy is irrelevant. There's literally an Italian in this thread who says margherita pizza in italy just means cheese pizza. It's like claiming Germany does bratwurst wrong because it doesn't taste like the ones you get from the supermarket in the US. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 3 points 18 hours ago Checking various lists from countries this is as far as I can tell EXCLUSIVELY a problem of western Europe. All three of the Americas, china, Russia, japan, Scandinavian, and basically everywhere else I can find. Use two different terms to separate a cheese and margarita pizza. So this is just a case of Europe is infact wrong. In fact Naples where the pizza style was invented uses the same terms as america. The USA copied Naples. The UK and much of western Europe. Like normal, is bastardizing what foods are called while the rest of the world just steals the terms from where it's invented. permalink fedilink source parent [β] Rason_Facts@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago Pizza margherita is pizza margherita.

But a Margherita at a takeaway on a high street you go to after a night out is going to be just passata and a hecka load of cheese. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Squirrelanna@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 point 1 day ago Where exactly? permalink fedilink source parent [β] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 10 points 1 day ago In the US, margherita pizza usually has fresh mozarella and basil Cheese pizza is just "plain," meaning just crust, sauce, and cheese. The cheese could be any kind, most often either shredded mozarella or provolone. If it's fancy maybe a blend including hard cheeses like parmesan, romano, fontina, and/or asiago. Some absolute heretics actually put cheddar cheese on their pizza. We don't talk to those.

It is more uniformly looking, and it has a dominant cheese flavour without the freshness of the tomatoes and basil. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 1 point 18 hours ago Yeah if you ask for Margarita pizza here you get exactly what a margarita pizza is. So the same thing you would expect in Naples. The presentation might change a little bit depending on where exactly you get it, but it's going to be the same ingredients in the same general style. A cheese pizza is literally just a f*** load of cheese and nothing else. You're getting literally exactly what you're asking for. It's why they're different terms. If you want the original Maple style pizza you ask for margarita. If you want a slab of cheese on top of some bread you ask for a cheese pizza. permalink fedilink source parent load more comments (2 replies)
