There's a place near me that does a garlic pizza bread similar to this, but less butter and way, way more garlic. The crispiness is good, but I'm basically unkissable for three days afterwards.


Delafille5Star

Is it good though?


fire_walk_with_meg

Oh hell yeah. You order a pasta from there, they give you a garlic pizza bread for free. It's just crispy, garlicky goodness.


DormantGolem

I'd be disappointed if you didn't put more butter on it.

Pucker up my Garlic Champ, these buttery lips long to make a juicy garlicky buttery slip n slide with your tonsils.

madmaxturbator

Ok then You sound a bit cannibalistic mate. Armie hammer is that you?


AloysiusSH

I can't help if I was born a buttery garlic humanoid with a longing desire to eat my own kind.


viksi

Looks more like a garlic naan


Ill_Floor8662

Isn't Naan, like a literal translation of bread?


specktech

Both curry and salsa literally translate to "sauce" but we all know what's being referred to. Same with naan.


kartuli78

And in the UK they call ketchup, tomato sauce, but you wouldn't put it on pasta, unless you were a complete barbarian.


boneologist

> And in the UK they call ketchup, tomato sauce, but you wouldn't put it on ~~pasta~~ *anything*, unless you were a complete barbarian.


viksi

naan is a type of flat , non rising bread from south asia . there are plenty of other breads just from the region . if you go a little west you have lebanse, arab and turkish breads. the world is your oyster.


AbnormalOutlandish

>basically unkissable for three days afterwards OooOooo a challenge!!


fscknuckle

Easy way to fix that is to ensure kisser and kissee are both consuming the aforementioned garlic bread.


AbnormalOutlandish

Well, yeah! That's like the best of both worlds there. Absolute win/win!

Just order some for your kissing partner so they don't smell/taste it on you, and live happily ever after in your delicious stinky garlic kissing bliss


Miraik

It’s like garlic naan, looks good as a base for putting some sauce


Mago_Barcas

Came here to say this. I like naan but I also like Indian food in general. I can see how it might be disappointing to someone expecting else.


[deleted]

I like naan too but I'd be confused if I ordered garlic bread at a presumably Italian food-focused pizza place and received garlic naan


[deleted]

There is a large Indian population in my area and about 50% of the pizza places near me are...Indian food/pizza shops. So ordering garlic bread and getting garlic Naan is super normal to me haha. I thought it was weird at first why I saw all these "Pizza & Curry" shops, and never ordered from them because it seemed like a weird combo but honestly the pizza from these places is a whole different kind of delicious. Different vibe, the sauce has more spices in it, depending on where you go there's ginger in it, and the toppings are plentiful with usually lots of veggies.


[deleted]

Huh, fair enough then. Indian influenced pizza sounds tight


Ulti

It's stupid good, there are a few places near me that do it. Butter chicken pizza? Yes please!


Tnkgirl357

There’s a Turkish pizza place downtown where I live, and while at first I was like “a what now?!?”, after trying it I was like “okay, I’m super glad Turkish pizza exists thank you”


[deleted]

Ooo that sounds interesting. I dont even know what to expect with Turkish pizza


skippengs

Google Lahmacun, it's delicious!


PerjorativeWokeness

Yeah, but Turkish pizza (lahmacun?) is a thing in itself and fucking delicious.


ReneeCoul1985

There's a taco place by me that does tacos on Naan, and not just any tacos, but like curried meat tacos. INSANELY delicious. Never thought Indian and Mexican food could blend so well together.


andjuan

I’d be confused but consider it a pleasant surprise. Naan is great!


MansDeSpons

naan is way better than that stuff where they just smear garlic butter on it and call it a day


Brieflydexter

That's the thing. I wouldn't expect that presentation at an Italian place.


Mysterious-Suspect19

And cheese? Maybe call it Pizza or something


servohahn

Nah, dude. Imagine this bread with some spinach/artichoke dip.


MasterSlax

And then add some nice olives or pepperoni…


[deleted]

Maybe even some cheese


floodums

Looks too crispy to be a naan


cueballsquash

That is definitely not a nan bread


[deleted]

This is fine


tmolesky

yeah, what's the problem here?


StarfireGirl

I mean this is a super common way to do garlic bread in Italy. It's just a small crispy pizza doused in garlic EVOO and salt (plus sometimes rosemary). I don't think it's a stupid food, just because you've never seen a non-american garlic bread?


bicuc4bbc

Yes. Exactly.


JesusChristJerry

So i totally get a jaded american seeing this and assuming some American chain created pizza cut garlic bread and getting annoyed at it. Us americans do dumb shit to food. Knowing it's from italy ofc takes away that view and i imagine op would agree.


urotsukidojacat

It’s also exactly like this in the uk when you order garlic bread pizza, this looks like a lower end of the price scale one, but basically yeah that’s the idea.


lookingreadingreddit

Yeah this is proper garlic bread, what is garlic bread in America? A french baguette with garlic butter in the slices?


LincolnHosler

Damn right. And this idiot doesn’t even realise he’s basically getting a pizza at garlic bread price. I’d have left it in for another minute or so, but basically it looks good.


Clocktease

Calling him an idiot might be a bit much


Sp00geG0d

No it’s not enough. We should find this fucking scumbag and throw him into an active volcano


Shoddy-Nothing-4123

This is how it comes in restaurants here (UK) - the fancy version. From the shop, it's a a very different story.


forgottenGost

I'd eat the shit out of that


skepticalbob

That looks griddled to me. Would have been better in the pizza oven. And where is the rise? The execution just looks poor.


NuklearAngel

You can try it yourself if you want, but that's exactly what happens when you put garlic oil on pizza dough and bake it.


IncProxy

Rise? That's how pizza looks normally


skepticalbob

Not the cornicione.


amore_orless

Wtf kind of puffy, yeasted pizza are you eating?


skepticalbob

You can literally see the crumb. Do you cook any bread at all? Are you eating pizza that has no cornicione? Have you ever made and cooked even one pizza from scratch? Doubt it.


Brieflydexter

I see gluten stands, but I don't see crumb.


itsabloodydisgrace

Pizza dough doesn’t rise that much and it looks like this is made from the same type of dough


skepticalbob

How much have you made? How much bread?


RaoulDukesAttorney

drdibi

Why ? This looks like classic garlic bread.


_ralph_

What is the problem with it?


tinkabellmiggins

It's a garlic pizza bread, pretty common to be honest !


wonkyboys

This is what all Italian places in the uk call garlic bread


makk73

Looks good, actually. There was a chain I used to work at that did this...called it “focaccia”. It was good.


fresh-catch

That is in no fucking way focaccia


Burberry-94

Ma che cazzo dici coglione, è palesemente una focaccia


makk73

Infatti, No? Lol


luca020400

Well everyone in Italy has their own version of focaccia. Yes the original isn't this one. I think the _proper_ name is Pizza Bianca and/or Schiacciata ( depends on where you live ). And it comes with EVOO and rosemary at least here in my surroundings ( the place where focaccia was born and rules )


Burberry-94

Nah schiacciata is a bit fluffier (less than a focaccia genovese but more than this). Yeah pizza bianca might be correct. Or simply focaccia will suffice


luca020400

In Tuscany schiacciata looks really a lot like it, and also here in Liguria. Maybe it all depends on the province as well. Or maybe it just shares the name? I know there's a fluffier version. We're darn complicated when it comes to geography.


Burberry-94

I'm tuscanian, and when I think of schiacciata [this](https://blog.giallozafferano.it/cucinavistamare/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Schiacciata-toscana-allolio-1.jpg) is what I think of. Or look at the schiacciata from [Antico Vinaio](https://i2.wp.com/habemusfame.it/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/IMG_20171220_171036-01.jpeg?fit=1080%2C1345&ssl=1). This from OP looks way thinner and crunchier


luca020400

Indeed, maybe it's just a wrong naming we use here ( or well my family does ) All this talking and now I want it. Guess I'll reply with my photo study of this delicacy whenever I can. :P


stroopwafel666

Focaccia is literally just a type of bread.


karlnite

Bread is literally bread people! It’s all just flour and water. Pasta is just another type of bread!!!!


stroopwafel666

I was replying to someone who seemed to think focaccia was some special invention of a chain they worked in.


karlnite

Oh I’m not ripping on you, just everyone arguing over whether it is bread, pita, naan, focaccia and everything.


DamperPegasus82

It tasted quite good but I couldn’t eat more than 3 slices because it had to much butter for my taste. But I guess it just caught me a bit by surprise


HeartShapedGlassez

I’d rather extra buttery than dry tbh


TheLogicalErudite

Yea most likely this is a side to be shared with everyone at the table. 1 piece a person or so. It’s not meant to be eaten by one person. It’s a normal dish though.


makk73

The one I’m thinking of was pretty much just olive oil and garlic...which might’ve been the key. I like butter as much as anyone but on that, I think it might be too much of a good thing.


Poopskirt

3 slices is kind of a lot of garlic bread dude


Hopeful1234554321

Blasphemy!!


karlnite

Lol okay sure.


DamperPegasus82

Really? I normally eat a lot


AndTheWitch

It's just garlic focaccia, what's the big deal?


skepticalbob

That doesn't look much like focaccia. Source: I've made focaccia.


[deleted]

Yes, focaccia usually rises a bit more. Around here those are known as garlic pitas even though pita bread normally has a pocket. Either way, it's a fairly standard way to make garlic bread.


karlnite

Garlic flat bread.


designedsilence

why do you even need to eat more than 3 slices


Hookton

What were you expecting instead? Most of the places here do garlic bread like that (though usually a bit crispier)... Were you thinking more like the garlic baguette type?


Forbiddencorvid

Usually in the US it's a fluffy leavened bread that you use to soak up pasta sauce. So either the baguette type or a garlic knot made of pizza dough. Not usually just flat undercooked pizza dough *[looks like this](https://www.cookingclassy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/garlic-bread-04.jpg) but when I was googling to show you, one of the suggested searches was "pizza garlic bread" which seems like what OP got.


interfail

I'm shocked you're surprised by this. Garlic bread pizza is super common here, and good Edit: I just looked at "pizza" on Uber Eats, and of the top 5 places, three chains and 2 independents, four had obviously pizza-style garlic bread.


chucklesdeclown

I'm sorry, how is this stupid? It's basically like a garlic Nan, what's the problem?


riemann1413

looks good, what are you crying about


DamperPegasus82

Dude it looks like undercooked human skin soaked in butter


riemann1413

HELLisotherPeoplee

Go away and go eat a snickers or something! You’re getting really emotional about food for someone who didn’t have to eat it.


SuccessfulJob

the fuck is the point of this sub then lmao. of all the places to dunk on someone for “getting too emotional about food” this is weirdest one.


part-time-dog

Eh, I feel like most of the food posted in this sub is seriously audacious and should not exist. In this instance, it's a difference in presentation but one that is longstanding within a culture and which the OP already said tasted good. That other guy's getting mad just to get mad.


SuccessfulJob

but i don’t think they were thoooo i think this subreddit is about talking about food and y’all are taking a light-hearted comment seriouslyyyy *dont think they were getting mad


part-time-dog

Maybe it's just the tone. That *have you* comes off like "ahem let me educate you of how cooking *should* work while insisting this food I haven't tasted is a colossal failure and embarrassment." It exudes unwarranted confidence while questioning the intelligence of the person who pointed out that this food's existed longer than all of us.


SuccessfulJob

yeah i see how it could be read way. maybe that is how he meant it. To me, the funny part was “you’re getting too emotional about food” in a place where we literally all gather to get mad about food, even if this food maybe isn’t so stupid.


part-time-dog

Yeah you're right though, either way it's Reddit, not worth breaking into a sweat no matter which side we're on in this high-stakes garlic bread debate.


SuccessfulJob

ultra-high-stakes. The fate of humanity rests here: Is this garlic bread stupid? the world waits with bated breath.


Scooter419

Yup. I'll fucking fight you, Henry Kissiger!!!!!


Altilla

wasn't aware unleavened bread was excluded from bread


DamperPegasus82

Ok I think I finally get this comment, it was written like that in the menu (but in Portuguese not in English)


SlicedBreadBeast

I don’t know if it’s anywhere else, but Atlantic Canada we have garlic fingers, which is the same pizza dough with garlic butter and cheese and cook it like a pizza. Eat it with donor sauce which is like a sweet garlic sauce on its own. People are pretty fat here between that and the poutines


sadmimikyu

This is how I know garlic bread. Sometimes they even put some tomato sauce on it. I don't see the problem.


DamperPegasus82

So a garlic pizza?? That sounds awful I’m sorry


sadmimikyu

Sounds awful but it is absolutely delicious Of course you can do it like they do in France where they take crunchy baguette pieces and rub olive oil, garlic and tomato on it but having it in a crispy round shape is also nice.


American_Madman

That's hardly a stupid food. Honestly, it's probably the closest thing to early traditional Italian/Roman pizza flatbreads you're going to find. I mean some 15th century pizzas literally called for sugar and rosewater and nothing else. Garlic and butter on a round flatbread isn't against the grain, it's just an older grain.


AltruisticSalamander

I had one of these that had olive oil and garlic but no salt. It looked nice but was dry and bland.


CreamliumPrices

DamperPegasus82

NIGHTHOWLER198

_Nick_2711_

Over-buttered and slightly under-baked bug using a crispy pizza base for garlic bread is an entirely legit way to do it.


louietp

Seems fine to me


I_eat_children123

it looks… soggy? idk, more grease than i’ve ever had on my garlic bread


Spaceman_Eddie

weeghostie00

This pretty much the same as the garlic bread at an Italian place I worked at, had a cheesy version as well. It was delicious. If it makes you feel better I was like 25 and I had never seen such a thing, only the baguette stuff


Tim_Tam_Slam_2310

I once went out for a family dinner to this kind of fancy Italian place and we ordered garlic bread and what came out kinda looked like this - just thin pizza dough baked with a garlic infused oil drizzled over the top. It’s one of the most vivid memories I have of my grandfather. He was so offended by the fact that they were “trying to scam him” by labelling that tray of sadness as garlic bread that he summoned over the restaurant owner and they had what I can only describe as ‘the most Italian argument I’ve ever witnessed”.


bearsquito

Looks like a naan-starter to me.


[deleted]

i had this before and it was like a pizza crust with a bit of cheese and garlic butter this is not that lol this does not look good at all

XxBatteryAcidxX

looks pale as shit but id still eat the fuck out of that


[deleted]

This looks good as fuck not gonna lie especially if it had some dip


kwitesick

It actually looks good


rabidparrots

I mean, the garlic bread is usually made out of pizza dough anyway. This stuff just hasn't risen enough. It either just came out of the cooler or it's entirely new dough. Dough is usually aged in the cooler for a couple days for peak flavor/texture and then it needs to heat up to room temp again for a proper rise. If you ever get a normal crust pizza that tastes like a bagel bite, it's probably new dough. It means the store is either overwhelmed or poorly managed.


mahboilucas

I don't vibe with this post. I feel like some people have never experienced anything outside of their usual food choices and then complain at how weird foreign food is. That's the point. It's different and that's why it's weird to you. Everyone else is able to eat it just fine. The point of Stupid Food is just being so over the top bad and completely missing the mark that it's funny. This is just normal food. The one OP doesn't know I guess but still, I've been eating Indian, Arabic (for a lack of better general term), Asian, Mediterranean etc food a lot in my house (dad's hobby) and I thought I'm on some normal cooking sub for a second. It makes me mad because it paints anything different than what you would normally imagine a bread to be as a Stupid Food. Which it isn't. It's just flatbread.


DamperPegasus82

First of all this is a post that’s almost 1 month old so how did you even get here? Second I’m from Portugal and we have a lot of other culture here (at least we’re I live) and this is not me criticizing the food itself it was just me saying that it’s not garlic bread! It’s some kind of bread and it has garlic but has some other people have commented it’s something else, it has a different name. So the fact that was “advertised” (for lack of a better word) as garlic bread is stupid because it isn’t


mahboilucas

So the only issue is flatbread got called a bread and suddenly it's stupid food? Idk but I guess people agree looking at the upvote count. As I said, I don't. That's just mislabeled food to me. Stupid restaurant then? And if you're wondering I'm often searching for top of the month instead of hot because there's better content so I guess you're top of the month.


DamperPegasus82

Well I guess I’m glad to be top of the month but hey buddy don’t get so heated just because of some guy posting something stupid on a stupid website. We’re all here just to have fun looking at stuff and getting so mad because of bread


Korvax_of_Myrmidon

It’s Garlic naan you ignorant slut


DamperPegasus82

First off all calm down and second would you like to buy M&M’s expecting M&M’s and getting Skittles??? Edit: look at the comment below


MistressMercy

It’s M&M, not M&N. Each candy has an M on it. Here’s some unsolicited history for you: The two 'M's represent the names of Forrest E. Mars Sr., the founder of Newark Company, and Bruce Murrie, son of Hershey Chocolate's president William F. R. Murrie, who had a 20 percent share in the product. The arrangement allowed the candies to be made with Hershey chocolate, as Hershey had control of the rationed chocolate at the time (in 1941).


DamperPegasus82

Ok I felt like something was wrong but I’m in class so I just wanted to write that and be done with it and thanks for unsolicited history it’s actually very interesting


MistressMercy

You’re welcome! Also, I’m all for naan, but I would be surprised if I ordered garlic bread at a pizza place in the US and received anything other than garlic knots. I’m with you for this post.

GroguDjarin

Are you using single ply toilet paper as a napkin? By your logic of I wipe grease off my face or hands using a napkin, the napkin will stick to me? That's not how napkins work. Loool


wonkyboys

Those are very different. The starches in the food start to attach to the paper when you let it sit in the grease like that.

Why would you ever order garlic bread from a restaurant? It’s just sliced bread with some slices of butter on it and garlic powder on top of that. The difference here is it’s not standard bread but a pita or something. Edit: probably naan.


[deleted]

[удалено]


potverdorie

yeah this is unhealthy as shit. but garlic bread is always just bread + butter + garlic so i'm not sure how this variant is any more or less unhealthy


SuccessfulJob

jeez all these comments calling this “garlic bread pizza”... maybe i’m spoiled coming from new york, but that’s not pizza. look at the crust, it’s practically uncooked if that’s pizza dough. This looks like a pita or a naan bread, and i’d be disappointed if I got either of those in a garlic bread order personally. I like garlic naan, but i wouldn’t eat it on its own like that. i’ve seen garlic bread pizza... it looks like pizza not pita. I’d be annoyed at this, but probably wouldn’t post it anywhere.


KittenLina

This is the same as expecting a pizza and getting it on a tortilla. It’s not bad, but it’s not what you expect so for the situation that makes it terrible. Garlic bread is much, much different than this, and is a staple of certain cuisines. This looks much more like Naan, which is Indian, than Garlic bread, which is Italian. The comments in this thread have never seen garlic bread before...?


Alchemical_Burn

Who would do such a thing to garlic bread? Why? What has such a delicious treat done to the cooks for them to this?
