We wanted to order pizza and I told my girlfriend (who is Italian) that I might order Pizza Hawaii. Her reflexes kicked in and she bit me.
So tasty that she had to get at the residuals
This does qualify as blasphemy.
Cook carbonara with cream next
I like Pizza Hawaii, that doesn’t mean I’m a war criminal.
Is calling it Pizza Hawaii new? Seen it three times in this thread but I've never seen it anywhere before. Usually people just say Hawaiian pizza. Which is the inferior version of pineapple on Pizza by the way.
I don’t know. I actually never heard of Hawaiian Pizza before.
Make it with powdered eggs and American bacon to capture the pure, traditional heritage of the dish.
username checks out.
I'm pretty sure the Italians would take the war criminal over you.

I'm curious what part of the world you're from? I've never seen it phrased as "Pizza Hawaii" and it hits my brain like a wall just the same as hearing "Pizza Margarita".
Oh my Gucciness, my mom did that while I was growing up. I learned how to get my carbonara on when I moved to Europe. Damn, I love the traditional carbonara.
Now go to Rome and get it there. I really miss proper carbonara and Amatriciana after moving from Rome to northern Italy.
My bro is legit visiting Rome this week. Will demand he do this. Thanks!
Tell him to not go to restaurants within sight of a famous monument and never if there is someone in the street convincing people to come in.
Or if you want a concrete recommendation, go to Zi Umberto in Trastevere for awesome Roman peasant food. But you need to book.
Rn he and his two young daughters are at Piazza Navona. Gimme the action list, youItaliansz.
Would you suggest I try the Bucatini Amatriciana at Zi Umberto?
Absolutely. And if they have the zucchini flowers for starter. And it's all good, really.
I can't remember if Artichokes are in season... I think I saw some at the market yesterday, but if they are then the Romans do great things with them. Both Roman and Jewish style.
Thanks!
Curious, is their preference guanciale o pancetta? I tried both, and guanciale is my favorite.
guanciale, 100%.
If you want to piss off an italian make carbonara with cream and pancetta
The memes about this with Italians have made me never want to even so much as converse with an Italian about food. No, there's no right way to do anything, there's just ways that work and ways that don't and being an asshole (sorry I've seen a bunch of obnoxious TikToks) doesn't make you more right, it just makes you more insufferable. There was one particular series of shorts that kept popping up for me with an Italian guy and his American girlfriend that always revolved around him getting angry at her cooking and every single time I wanted to be able to punch that chode in his Adam's apple repeatedly until he could never speak again.
Shes a keeper.
Now show her this (hint: top-left corner).
Once in Italy my wife tried ordering a pizza with chicken and they just straight up laughed at her and said 'Not in Italy!', but like.. not in a mean way.
Well yeah, nobody calls it that. It's Hawaiian Pizza.
“Nobody”
Is it just in Germany then?
I am almost sure it’s also in Italy. But gf is sleeping. Can’t ask.
Edit: Ok, I woke her up and it's a bit more complicated. You usually say things like Pizza con "ingredient" or Pizza alla "stuff". There are some pizzas that a famous and these are called Pizza "Name". So, if the country of Italy ever would accept the existence of Pizza Hawaii, it would be called that.
To be fair, Italian pizza is a separate beast entirely, essentially a completely different food.
True.
Damn, just when you are about to forgive a country for their misdeeds.
The Dutch do it like this too, but I don't know who started it
