My wife puts Tabasco sauce on her pizza, while I am convinced that an Italian person dies every time she does that. Help us sort this out, please.
I put Franks Red Hot on pizza all the time. It’s no problem.
Pizza isn’t owned by the Italians anyway. Many variants are decidedly American anyway, so it would be like a French person complaining about how the British cook a roast dinner.
That sounds pretty good to me. Though I would prefer crushed peppers, jalapenos, or Salsa Yucateca, Tabasco is a little too sour. Why do you care? Are you literally gatekeeping her pizza?
Don’t worry about what Italians think about how you eat pizza. Unless you are in Italy, however you are eating it is probably unappealing to most Italians no matter what you are putting on it, even in its base form with no modifications.
Not one single actual Italian gives a flying fuck how you eat anything, as long as you eat enough.
The only “Italians” who say this shit are people that claim to be Italian because their great great great great grandfather once got a hand job in a Fiat 500
sriracha, the one with xtra garlic
Put whatever you want on a pizza, its a good delivery mechanism
I’m not a big hot sauce ON pizza kinda guy, but I dip the crust in something like secret aardvark. Buffalo chicken pizza is pretty popular and that’s basically a hot sauce pizza.
if an Italian died every time “an italian dies” Italy’s population would be in the negatives by now.
It already was in the negatives the last time i checked
Is she making he pizza for Italy, or for herself?
As an Italian I love Sriracha or Harissa on pizza, but the vinegar, no please!
Sure, why not? I put sriracha on some the pizzas we get, or make at home.
Some Italians may find this offensive, alas not as offensive as lathering pizza in ketchup.
I like it spicy, but I can’t stand the vinegar taste of Tabasco on pizza. In some restaurants you could request chilli oil, which suits my taste better.
I agree. I find the strong vinegar taste generally off-putting
Is it Tabasco specifically?
Because I also use Cholula, Tapatio, QM Cocoa Ghost…
Tabasco is alright if you like Tabasco, I usually go for something hotter where I can, tabasco as a last option when my options are short.
That being said, they used to make a bomb ass chipotle sauce.
Restaurants here often have a spicy oil on the table that I’ve see plenty of Italians put on their pizza. I don’t see it as being all that different. However, if it was a hot sauce with any amount of pineapple and you’d get your Italian citizenship revoked. 😅
I just mix a buttload of chili powder into the pizza sauce when I make them
I put it on cold pizza, on hot i use chili flakes
Why does pizza taste good at any (edible) temperature? Hot pizza, lukewarm pizza, room temperature pizza, chilled pizza, cold pizza, any of those tastes fucking amazing in their own way, how? (I don’t think frozen pizza is counted as edible).
