european here (hungarian to be specific). i'm with the yanks on this one. especially as someone with arfid, the inconsistency of authentic italian pizza sucks, and they put way the hell too little cheese on there. if i wanted tomato bread i'd just take some tomato and chuck it on a piece of bread, thank you (but also, why tf would i ever do that)

I’ll agree with you here, especially on the inconsistency. European-style has been the absolute best or worst pizza I’ve had, but it never seems like there’s any in-between. American pizza is reliable if nothing else.

Also those mozzarella balls are delicious and for the 20 euro I paid for the real thing they should have put like triple on there.

oh yeah, i do love those things. when i make pizza for myself i always throw a whole bunch of shredded mozzarella on there, so basically the whole pizza is those delicious balls.

also, heresy time again: frozen margherita pizza is an amazing basis for any pizza you wanna make at home. they usually put way too little cheese on it so it's really up to you what you wanna do with it -- my fave is mozzarella, smoked cheese (both shredded), and grilled chicken, but a lot of that is the arfid filter talking, you should put on whatever you want. just make sure the mozzarella is the last thing you put on, that way it shields the rest of the toppings from the heat (if it actually covers the pizza), which will allow you to keep it in the oven like 20-30% longer so that you get the crust properly crispy.

@ichmagrum @b3nsn0w add chunks of cheddar and you've got #redmond Three Lions Pub's cheese and tomato sandwich
Which they charged like $15 for :P
