It's amazing how pizza was perfected somewhere between 100 and 200 years ago and then every city in America has decided they need to make it worse in innovative and unique ways.
"If something is truly perfect, that's it. It becomes the bottom line. There is no room for imagination. No space for intelligence. Or ability. Or improvement."
I think it's great that people like to experiment with food. Variety beats perfection any day. It would be such a bland culinary universe if you couldn't go to local pizza places and discover new, strange, and possibly horrifying versions of pizza ๐
By the gods it's the fucking train of food. Here's perfection now make it more expensive, harder to build, and somehow worse. Quick get Adam Something to make a video on this.
Pizza is actually at least 1000 years old. The thing that identifies it as pizza is the bread not the toppings. And it has actually gotten way better with time.

In the sense that people have been putting stuff on top of flat bread, sure. But that's why I say it was perfected a hundred years or so ago. Because sure you could argue a flatbread with a a herb and cheese spread and some dates is pizza, but it doesn't hold a candle to a modern pizza.
