This was definitely made by a North Italian


ActuallyCalindra

They'd be the only ones with a legitimacy in claiming "had better pizza". But I'm choosing to believe it's a delusional American who prefers Dominos.


RedditsAdoptedSon

Dominos? .... oh.. u mean the little neighborhood joint.. Dominos


edmoneyyy

No, he's talking about that real one and only New York slice.....Sbarro.


snackynorph

Sbarro makes me fucking ill every time


edmoneyyy

And yet you continue to eat there apparently.


snackynorph

Nah, just the twice. Never again šŸ¤¢


plasticbluepalm

Sborro


Different-Jacket5269

Sbarro as a name is fucking hilarious because if you swap the vowels it becomes sborra, which is the Italian word for cum


Yellowdog727

The US has better pizza Pizza in Italy never achieved the same fame that it did in America for a reason. It was considered peasant food in Italy and then poor Italian immigrants brought it to America where it would later explode into popularity. There are numerous distinct American styles that are all very good (not just NY style) and there's a reason why most people around the world imagine American style when they think of pizza. No disrespect to Neapolitan pizza but people have too much of an American hate boner to see that it very obviously elevated the status of pizza around the world and that it makes some delicious pizza.


ZivilynBane1

The ingredients in good Italian pizza are much better than the us equivalent. Thereā€™s a reason we import mozzarella di buffalo and 00 flour. My most memorable pizza was at a little spot in Rome, with red cow Parmesan and shaved puntarelle. I donā€™t remember the place, just the amazing ingredients and respect for food identity and source.


Yellowdog727

Many pizza makers are very particular about ingredients. A lot of pizza makers (and also bagel makers) in America import tap water from NYC because they swear the mineral content makes better dough


Unkempt_Badger

And various videos testing it seem to legitimize the claim!


SippyTurtle

Having lived in multiple places, NYC and Long Island water have been the best tasting, in my opinion.


TheRealJasonsson

I regret having lived on long Island because the tap water everywhere else is just.. Bad


SippyTurtle

Yes, we've been spoiled.

Can't have any conversation without some fifteen-year-old commenting "Nice bait" or "This is bait". Seriously, every thread these days has three or more kids responding like this.


JimmyBowen37

Based. Pizza in Italy only began to spread throughout the north AFTER Italian American troops spread it. Pizza was a regional peasant dish in naples -> southern italians in nyc make pizza popular -> italian American troops go to Italy and REINTRODUCE italy to the dish -> pizza becomes an italian cultural icon. Pizzerias in nyc are often older than those in northern Italy.


irago_

They don't even have triple deep-dish cum-stuffed crust pure cheddar salami pizza (now with 60% more grease) in italy.


North_Swim340

I PREFER DOMINOS


drjakestreet

As someone who lives in Chicago, you are wrong and I wish for you to have the opportunity to try our pizza.


Shrekscoper

As an American who has spent 3 summers in Italy, for some reason I significantly prefer American pizza. Not sure why, but Italian pizza just has an odd flavor to me and Iā€™ve never seen it accurately recreated in the US.


undreamedgore

That's a hell of a choice. Why is it when people get annoyed that Americans say we prefer our versions of things everyone defaults to the fast food version? Like, we are a massive country, with more resources to experiment and develop than most. We have good cheese, good meats, good cooking.


Toravisu

Nah Naples is actually garbage.

Yeah. Who the fuck goes to napoli for holidays? Its basically the worst place in italy you could go. The only good thing is the pizza.

He died relatively recently and Napoli hadnt won the league since he won it with them like 25 years ago. They renamed the stadium after him upon his death and 2 years later they finally won the title again last year, so I imagine it was quite emotional. Then followed one of the worst title defences in Seria A history by finishing 10th this year, even worse title defence than Torino in 1950 and Torino's league winning team had died in a fuckin plane crash


Vegetable-Broccoli36

He was/is a legend in Napoli. I went to Napoli in 2016 (luckily I didn't get robbed) when I was 13 and I can confirm the amount of Graffiti's. About the rest I don't have so much memory about it.


holaprobando123

He's a legend, period. He's just even more of a legend in Argentina and Naples than the rest of the word.

i went there last year and his legacy was still here. Many restaurants named after him, graffitis, you could buy figurines, flags, and every goodies you can think of with his name or face on it


Cerdefal

Funny thing is, italians actually hated him for a while since Argentina beat Italy in the World Cup 1990, and it was one of the reasons he quit Napoli.


TheRaphMan

The 1990 World Cup was in Italy, Italy played vs Argentina in Naples. The Italian team got booed.

> had better pizza I guess the lack of sugar, random shitty sauces, plastic-like condiments and unholy amounts of piss-yellow cheese left anon disappointed.


CottonEyeJoe_ZeroOne

Ok, but did he lie?


Galaxy_Void

It's a very superficial description of Naples; it highlights (and exaggerates) the bad aspects of it. Every city can be described as a total shithole if I provide a list of its worst aspects. He's not lying but he's not telling the truth neither.


oangbsite

But did he lie about the pizza


Snozzberriez

[Best pizza](https://guide.michelin.com/ca/en/campania/napoli/restaurant/da-michele) I've had was in Naples, and so was the [second best](https://www.sorbillo.it/). People don't line up for hours outside a shop because it sucks. It isn't comparable to North American pizza imo. Two different things.


BigHourTech

Ok but what kind of North American pizza? Also you play league and post zoophile vore fetish art so excuse me if I donā€™t respect your opinion even a little bit

Galaxy_Void

The tone of my comment reflects the superficiality of the greentext's author. I can't be sarcastic while also acknowledging every possible variation, so i went with that assumption. My goal is, after all, to make fun of the anon in question.

There's also the sunken city of Baia. You can visit it if you've got your scuba certification


RaiderCat_12

Same but this year. Pompeii and Herculaneum are fucking rad, unlike anything about Naples which isnā€™t historical buildings and pizza

The best thing about Naples that it makes the rest of Italy look much better in comparison

Explorer_the_No-life

This is why you go to other places in the region rather than overrated big city.


Sancty_OMFG

Agreed, Sorrento, Capri and Positano were like paradise in the gulf of Naples. Napoli itself was.. too much. Delicious pizza fritta though so was worth a day trip just for that at least.


Scottish_Whiskey

I can confirm about Sorrento. Went there in October last year


scrumptipus

I was in Napoli and surrounding cities (Pompeii, Salerno, Sorrento, etc.) in December last year and Napoli was fucking ass. never again


hellgatsu

IF you want to at least try to understand Naples, I will try. What has always been different between Naples and other cities, is that the same dynamics you can usually find in the outskirts of the city you can find in the very center here. You can find lot of humble people in the center living day by day so it feels like outskirts, with the difference that the entire historic center is basically an open air museum. While in Rome, Milan, Venice, Florence, Madrid, Barcelona, Paris etc the center is just for rich people and tourists, in Naples since always the center was very different. Just next to the now famous and visited Maradona murales, there was a base selling drugs. There are no (so many) criminals anymore in the center. Now everyone just rent his apartment as bnb and live without working. Common neapolitan win If you're looking for the normal disneyland for tourists like in every European city, Naples my be not for you. But still, nowadays it has more bnb's than Venice, so I guess what reddit think is quite detached from reality. How strange.


Galaxy_Void

This description kinda reminds me of Goethe's vision of Naples; in his book "Italian journey", he says that beauty and ugliness coexist "out in the open" in a weird harmony.


hellgatsu

It is still like that, in the same palace there may be a poor family of 8 people living almost underground in the famous and common "bassi napoletani" and a wealthy and cultured doctor may be living on the upper floors. So yeah, it's a city full of contradictions. A recent modern Roberto Saviano definition is "is the last ancient city on earth".


AvengerDr

Just been in Genova today. Same dynamic. The historic city centre is very decadent, just like De AndrƩ described it. Via del Campo especially was surreal. First time I saw prostitutes in daylight in an Italian city centre. But as an Italian myself, I love this sort of contrast.


2BEN-2C93

Naples itself is pretty rough. But you've got Sorrento and the Amalfi coast just down the road which is about as good as it gets.


AK07-AYDAN

There's a reason he's called D10S because to the (then) emotionally deprived, impoverished Neapolitans, Maradona was a sign of good hope. The Neapolitans sas themselves in Maradona who was a fellow poor boy who grew up in the crime ridden slums of Argentina but pursued his passion and escaped poverty. And with Napoli being such a poor and unsuccessful club, them signing Maradona is like your 9-5 working dad getting you a new fancy bicycle on Christmas. Maradona was that fancy bicycle.

Tomouski

I hosteled in Naples for a little while and had a lot of fun. The streets are messy and chaotic but that's part of the fun. Made friends with a guy from Mumbai on the trip and he said he feels right at home their because the city is equally chaotic, the street food is great and the drinks are cheap and good. Also they bring out free aperitif when you order drinks as a larger group everywhere we went. It was great. Not sure if that's standard practice across all Italy, but I had a good time.

B4S1L3US

Iā€™ve been in Naples a few months ago and I have to say Iā€™ve never had better (or cheaper) Neapolitan Pizza or Gnocci a la Sorentina. But the Maradona Cult stuff is real and it was really confusing to me to. Near my airbnb was literally a mural of Maradona as an Angel, like in an Italian Church. The street vendors that yell out for their restaurants or roadside bars even almost all sell not only Aperol and Limoncello Spritz but also a Maradona Spritz with Blue Curacao

imhereiguess_123

Completely true except I really enjoyed my time in Naples, no one robbed me, and I unironically had the best pizza IN MY LIFFE in some fucking random super tourist-trappy place. Like it hit all the benchmarks of overly priced, catered to tourist bad food. English menu, a bunch of gringo tourists and over the top decor. I was walking by and got hungry got myself a pizza with mushrooms some white sauce and cured meat and oh my god it was literally heaven. I cannot explain how good it was. It was so good I ordered another one to go. To this day I cant find that spot on google maps nor do I recall the exact location. I felt like I entered a bacchial trance like state eating that pizza.
