pizza: I want to know more on this topic. All information are welcome. So far, I know the following. Italian pizza does not use cheese. It has only a single topping of meat. Italian love their pizzas. They consider multiple toppings of meat mix the tastes and is awful. Korean pizza adds Kimchee. They love their pizza more than the American version. Taiwanese pizza adds seafood. Of cause they love their version. American pizza has to have cheese and often has multiple toppings of meat. American can not stand the Italian version. They consider the Italian pizza too bland. By the way, do you consider the American pizza a fusion between Italian and American?|||Pizza comes to the rest of the world from Naples, Italy. Italian pizza (Neoplitan Pizza) - The group, Associazione vera pizza napoletana, created a standard pizza so the true traditional Neoplitan pizza is not lost to commercialization and "Americanization." Also, pizza in Italy is different from region to region. Neopolitan (Naples) has a thin crust pizza while pizza in Rome are rectangular with a thin crispy (cracker-like) crust and no cheese. More like a foccacia. I agree with you that they like single toppings of meat, but they do use cheese and instead of a long cooked tomato sauce we use in the USA. Italian pizza uses a fresh tomato, garlic, oregano, olive oil puree. As mentioned cheese is used, but it's sliced mozzarella, not shredded. As to the rest of the pizzas, other countries have taken that idea and adapted to their own liking - Korean (Kimchee), Taiwanese (seafood) and American (everything piled high), which you correctly summarized. I believe American Pizza to be an adaptation (not a fusion) of the original Neopolitan pizza.|||not true http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What鈥?/a> Report Abuse |||corean pizza??? are you talking about bindaetteok??? that's not a pizza. we corean is original.....

Italian love their pizzas. They consider multiple toppings of meat mix the tastes and is awful." Actually, you just described an American pizza... American people seem to be shocked when they do a trip in Italy then discover in Italy it's almost impossible to find a "pepperoni pizza" (and that in Italian "peperoni" means "sweet pepper"...) or even a "chicken pizza", which in Italy is considered an ethnic mix between Asian and Italian cookery. Also, on an Italian pizza, absolutely NO tomato sauce, but tomato puree (more often) or sliced tomatoes (on some recipes). And forget about the garlic, it's not so used in Italian cookery, it's an Italian American thing. Almost all true Italian pizza do have mozzarella, in some other ones other kind of cheese are used, and the crust is very thin. Meat on a pizza.... very rare, apart from ham.|||The thinness and crust i'd say.|||you just asked 'do you consider the american pizza to be a mix between the italian and american' that makes no sense at all|||Basically where it is being served. All of the pizzas you mentioned are available in America. Seafood...Kimchee...no cheese...lots of cheese...soft crust...crispy crust....pineapple...single topping...many toppings. All a matter of taste.|||italian pizza does have cheese. they don't use tomato sauce, they jut put tomato slices on it, i dunno about the korean and taiwanese pizza, never heard of them, and it sounds sick. but i like italian pizza better. nothing beats the orginal. american pizza is nothing compare to italian pizza. and the cheese on the italian pizza is much better, not those shredded cheese, its like fresh mozzerella|||I would say the difference is the first word before pizza
