    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.

      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.

            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.

        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.

          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”.

          I’m pretty sure the Italians would take the war criminal over you.

          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 fish.
