        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.

        Make it with powdered eggs and American bacon to capture the pure, traditional heritage of the dish.

        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.

            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.

                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.

              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.
