Once I tried Hawaiian pizza with cherries on top. That’s my pizza I did not want to finish. But I probably wouldn’t want to even try the octopus and potato one either.
I’ve had (sweet) potato work on a pizza before, the pieces need to be pretty thin to cook properly. The octopus was overcooked on that one and the potato were large chunks and undercooked.
Jesus fucking Christ, I’m Italian and when I was in Korea we tried a couple of pizzas (it’s always fun to see how foreign countries make it) and they were all so damn sweet. Turns out they put sweet potatoes everywhere.
Potatoes and octopus doesn’t sound bad tho! I’m not sure I’ve ever seen it but I sure would try it (if they’re well clocked that is)
I really appreciate an Italian who isn’t prescious over pizza! Of course, traditional Italian pizzas are great, but that doesn’t mean alternatives can’t be awesome too!
IMO, so long as the toppings go well with the sauce (eg a fajita pizza should have a spicier sauce) then you can make something great.
Yeah man, we Italians are unbearable when someone from other countries DARES to even THINK about modifying the holy recipe. And I kind of get it. I, too, cringe when I see people putting ketchup on their pasta or shit like that, but I eat sushi with Philadelphia cream cheese in it so what right do I have to criticize ketchup on some pasta or pineapple on a pizza (which is actually freaking good when done well)?
At the end of the day, the cool thing about cousine is how it changes and evolves around the world and through the years. Jesus, most of the recipes we consider “traditional” didn’t even exist one or two centuries ago (some of which were invented, at least in part, by american soldiers in italy during WW2, and generally come from external influences).
We Italians are a bunch of snobby conservatives when it comes to eating. Well, we are a bunch of conservatives when it comes to anything, but that’s another story.
P.S. This whole concept of topping and sauce is completely alien to me, here we have “white” (with no sauce) and “red” (with tomato sauce) pizzas, and put a bunch of stuff on it
