minus-squarei_love_FFT@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·1 year ago But it lacks the classic ingredients to technically be considered a pizza. What are the required ingredients? Can they be sure the ingredients are not hidden underneath the ones on top?

minus-squareslicktor@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·1 year agoI’ll upvote this but I don’t like it.
minus-squareAgreeableLandscape@lemmy.mlMlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10arrow-down1·1 year ago90% sure it’s tomatoes. They are not native to Europe and were only introduced in the colonial era.
minus-squareCmdrShepard@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoI get pizza without tomatoes all the time. Chicken bacon ranch pizza contains zero tomatoes. I need to talk to this uninformed pizza gatekeeper.
minus-squareburningmatches@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·1 year agoNot sure the Italians consider a chicken bacon ranch pizza to be a pizza.
minus-squarepancakes@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoThis brings up a good point. BBQ chicken pizza, donair pizza, and pesto pizza all don’t have tomatoes.

minus-squareknatsch@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down1·1 year agoi would say tomato and cheese and think i see both
minus-squarelightsecond@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 year agoTomatoes were only introduced to Italy in the 1500s (from the Americas) so i highly doubt they had tomatoes in Pompeii at that time. :)
minus-squareknatsch@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoYeah you’re right, i’m dumb. Still think the red thing on the left looks like a tomato wonder what that actually is.
minus-squarejapps13@lemmy.physfluids.frlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-21 year agoI don’t know which ingredients are required but I don’t think they had tomatoes at that time. Wasn’t they discovered in the new world?
minus-squareelectrorocket@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoCorrect. They were over 400 years from having tomato sauce on pizza. They did have pesto, as the article mentioned.
