What are some regional things that people who don’t live/didn’t grow up in your area understand?

This is a tomato pie and it is 100% NOT pizza. (Philly). A lot of times when people have it, or in regional pizza ranking videos, they will compare it to pizza. It is NOT PIZZA. It is a TOMATO PIE.
1) It is on a focaccia-like bread, not a pizza dough
2) Almost no cheese besides a light dusting of parm
3) Sweeter, less seasoned sauce
4) Served room temperature as an hors d'oeuvres
5) Sold in bakeries, not pizza shops
6) Most popular during summer months
7) Enjoyed in small quantities and savored; not something you and your buddies get after a night of drinking. Show some class.
8) It’s just not, okay?

I mean, that is a pizza though. Original Italian pizza was just bread and tomato, no cheese as they couldn't afford it and pizza was a poor laborer snack

And even in America, pizza once looked like this as some exotic foreign dish

>>21410733 (OP)
Then why is it in a pizza box?

>>21410733 (OP)
That's a chicago style pizza retard.

>>21410738
I bet the Chef Boyardee pizza tasted amazing.

>>21410733 (OP)
where's the cheese

>>21410733 (OP)
nice altoona style pie op

Dear OP, how thick is tomato sauce usually and how much of it usually goes on top in relation to the (I'm assuming pretty thick) to focaccia-like bread base?

This is kind of odd one but in my country grandmas used to make macaroni with feta type cheese (100% cow, not the goat kind) with either honey or sugar. It was quite comfy.

>t. Eastern Euro oddities.

>Things outsiders don’t get
Some people don’t understand the mega-sloppy

if a bakery isn't run by a Vietnamese family, it's worthless.

>>21410927
They still make it, it tastes the same....it's actually not bad if you have zero pizza making skills

>Things outsiders don't get
Second chances

>>21410924
thats neither a REAL Chicago style which is known elsewhere as "tavern pie" which is thin crust and cut in squares, nor is it the Chicago DEEP DISH. A tomato pie has no toppings.

>>21410733 (OP)
Pan con tomate, or whatever you call it...
1) is not a new thing nor exclusive to Philly
2) exists in Italy, Spain, France...everywhere.

>>21410943
sounds nice

It's a pizza. That's how language works.

>>21410733 (OP)
Looks like ‘go’za to me.

>>21410936
It’s a decent layer, definitely more than you’d find on a pizza. Also, the consistency is more like a tomato paste rather than your pizza sauce which is much more fluid. If I were to estimate, the layer of sauce would be maybe 1/3-1/2 the thickness of the bread.

>>21410983
Of course not, but the style, precise ingredients and how it’s served are unique to the area. Noodles in broth isn’t unique to a single place, but everywhere prepares them differently. Stop being an “ACKSHULLY” faggot.

I love these little fuckers like you wouldnt believe

Gaijin will never understand how good trve barbecue can be

I see that's what it's called in some region of America, here that same food item is widely known as Roma style pizza. In my opinion what it gets called hardly matters though, it's a tasty variation on the trope of a big flat piece of dough covered in tomatoes. In my house in the summer we usually make something pretty similar, but just use sliced fresh tomato as the base.

>>21411188
Checked and thanks.

it only looks like a 'go 'za from above, it doesn't have the depth of a deep dish

>>21410733 (OP)
So good…but I have to admit. I throw my pieces in the microwave for 30seconds idgaf

>>21410733 (OP)
Eh, we have this in Rhode Island, just shaped differently. This is easier to push into your mouth.

>>21410733 (OP)
Tomato pie is mid.
At least the cheesesteaks are good.
If it's pizza, a New York sicilian with the works is actually good shit.

>>21410738
>Original Italian pizza was just bread and tomato
Nope.
Original Italian pizza was fried dough. That's it. Pizza as we know it was invented in NYC.

I was with you until the honey and sugar.

No.

>>21410733 (OP)
looked good until you described anything about it

It's a type of flatbread. All pizza is flatbread but not all flatbread is pizza.

>bacon is supposed to be really salty
>bacon is supposed to be as smokey as an ash tray.

>mexican food is supposed to be spicy
>if you don't like spicy have a peanut butter sandwich stop making mexican food mild

>>21415033
I make pizza using tortillas

anything on flatbread that has cheese and some kind of tomato sauce is pizza.

White people make brown people food better. Hence why American pizza is better than Italian pizza

>>21415137
Funny because American Pizza is brown people food, Italian pizza is more of a flatbread.

>>21414405
Wrong on both counts. How embarrassing for you. : (

>>21414805
Where in Italy because none of that is even remotely true for where I'm from now any part I've visited. The idea of a sweetened tomato sauce, especially, is universally repulsive to us.

>>21410946
how do you eat this? I can't help but feel it'd be nicer as a bowl and bread roll dish.

>>21416268
Eat it? What? It's a fashion accessory. You lift it to your mouth and dribble it all over your shirt. It's a must-have for Midwestern living, like a bolo tie in Texas or a vagina in Seattle.
