My wife puts Tabasco sauce on her pizza, while I am convinced that an Italian person dies every time she does that. Help us sort this out, please.

    Don’t worry about what Italians think about how you eat pizza. Unless you are in Italy, however you are eating it is probably unappealing to most Italians no matter what you are putting on it, even in its base form with no modifications.

      Not one single actual Italian gives a flying fuck how you eat anything, as long as you eat enough.

      The only “Italians” who say this shit are people that claim to be Italian because their great great great great grandfather once got a hand job in a Fiat 500

    Tabasco or some other hot sauce in the pizza sauce would be a lot more ideal, but on top is acceptable if that’s what’s available.

    Yay. Chili flakes are great, too.

    BTW, the worst pizza I ever had was served in Italy. Absolutely drowned in oil.

    You put red pepper flakes on your pizza sometimes, yeah? She just likes hers in liquid form.

    Personally, Tabasco in the bin. Hot sauce on cold pizza the morning after? Breakfast of champions

    If you wanted pizza to be “italian”, it would have to have no tomatoes, peppers, pepperoni, buffalo milk cheese, basil or a whole bunch of other ingredients that are commonly added to pizza.

    Pizza is a global food, do with it as you will

    You can do whatever you want to food, I wont stop you. Some would keep the gates closed to others; deeming this or that ingredient taboo. These people have never been to Naples, never had to make a frozen cheese pizza more palatable with canned peaches or starve to death. Hypocrites! Let them scoff, and weep at our scrambled egg sriracha breakfast pizza. They will never be happy like we are.

    I think that hot sauce on pizza is awesome and I have been doing it for years. My apologies if I am making their population decline, but I won’t be stopped.

    I find it very tasty, however, I think hot sauce is adding more moisture to a food that’s already pretty wet. I prefer red pepper flakes to balance this out. But she should do what she wants
