    USA is bigger in every way more toppings larger size and probably better too in most places a bit like all those Indians in Birmingham creating all the curry disshes we eat.

    Over in Italy it was small and dear twas bereft of toppings and yes I know that real odeal has less toppings but dammit I want a feed not art

    Bloody expensive and not too quick about it either and he expected a tip too nah the chicago stuff I had few years back was nicer.

    Neither of you have the slightest idea of what you're talking about, it seems...

    The Italians make the best pizza. No question. The greeks are a close second.

    Americans have an obsession with calling anything that has pie crust, tomato sauce, cheese, and various ingredients Pizza. Which in fact, is not pizza at all, but it still doesn't mean it isn't awesome. Real Italian Pizza is just a glorified shepherds pie, imo. It isn't bad, by any means at all, but we've annexed the term here for own diabolical and delicious ends, the rest will just have to get over the fact. Like China refuses to give up Tibet on basis that it's rightfully Chinese Territory, us Americans refuse to give up the term Pizza, not because we invented it, but because it was there for the taking.

    So where does Melbourne/Sydney rank then...
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    Been there, done that, and it's somewhere near Chicago. Though in all fairness, Italians did have a huge hand in American pizza as well. Call it an update.
