Lemmings who order cheese pizzas, have you always just ordered cheese pizzas or is that something that happened with age? (lemmy.world)

So what is it?

Similar to quattro formaggi, but with only one cheese. Like, the same standard blend whatever international chain puts on every other pizza, and the same sauce and crust, but nothing else.

The concept is American, but American-style pizza is everywhere now. Italy of course doesn't do it like Americans, and I guess only serving the better version of "cheese" would be in character for France, as well.

Thank you very much for your reply!

I think that would be close to a Margherita, but i just saw I didn't describe what it is. That's the name we have in Europe, from Italy. Basically just tomato sauce, mozzarella (which can be in pieces or spread on top of all the pizza, even though Italians may not like this version), and basil (often forgotten)

Margharita is sold here too, but basil is absolutely mandatory, and usually it's done in a more Italian, thinly topped style. Typically it has sliced tomato in addition to the sauce, as well.

I see! I think I just had pepperoni and such when I was in NA, I should have tried more interesting variations. It's not like I want to go back there soon
