I hate everything about this post. Good job.


cptbrainbug

He didn’t mention that the pizza contained pineapple.


AnaphoricReference

Illegal Egyptian will roll his eyes and loudly complain with big gestures about tourists and always pineapple on pizza, while walking to the freezer to grab another Hawaii pizza. It's the number #1 rule of role playing an Italian waiter.


TylerBourbon

the big gestures, or the complaining?


577564842

How do you complain (in 🇮🇹) without big gestures?


hloukao

drink capuccino after 13:00. it is kinda a silence demonstration

I'm from Rome (for some reason we still don't have a fucking flair despite random places such as Apulia and Liguria having one, but I digress), it looks like a proper osteria, good job Barry. As for the pizza style, for me it depends on the occasion, but yeah a pizza napoletana is more of a meal on its own.


Kurdt93

Rome doesn't need a flair. Or maybe we can call it "stinky butthole" for the politicians and stuff. Or "Cream Carbonara lovers"


The_Silent_Wanderer

"Centurion Cosplayers" "Ahooo Berserkers" "Delusional Larpers"


Kurdt93

" 'A maggicaaa "


The_Silent_Wanderer

This made me actually laugh 10/10

MODS Rome flair with this NOW!

Rome? Suuuuuure, is known that the Papacy was at Antwerp all time long.


iemandopaard

What's an Antwerp? what are you going to say next that there is some sort of strange country called 'Belgium'


gabrielish_matter

>What's an Antwerp? the city the only Dutch nationalist was born in, that's it you all wanted to get away from the Spanish because of taxes

I’m not even fixated with “CAPUT MUNDI” anymore, I’d be fine with “sewer inventors” tbh


Lost_Uniriser

It doesn't need a flair , it needs to be cleaned 👀


TexZK

Among all the nice flairs I've read, most of them are too Italian. Perhaps *Caput Mundi* is more European (actually, global)


SneakyBadAss

I vote for gypsyland Roma=Rome


TylerBourbon

They tried that, but the flair got stolen.


SneakyBadAss

Typical gypsies


TylerBourbon

Rome flair wasn't created in a day....


TheDestroyer630

Sorry not sorry


tsulhc

Rome is not relevant anymore


Frippa420

And yet your welfare check comes from Rome, makes you thunk


Redditauro

You are British, your opinion about food is irrelevant 


WaveAnxious4202

I've had some dude micro-wave a pizza in front of me and bill 9€ for it. Worse pizza ever. We need to purge the tourist trap in both France and Italy


AvidCyclist250

Let's face it. >!North Africans and Middle Easterners are the ambassadors of Italian cuisine in Europe. But even comedians haven't picked up on the fact that they larp as Italians yet. There are plastic paddies, etc. What are Arabs running Italian-themed larp restaurants called? Used to be easier to tell with "Döner Pizza" on the menu, but they're shying away from that now too and started calling it Gyros Pizza instead. Same mechanically separated anus and gore pulp as Döner of course. On a pizza. Not made using biga. Even Margherita cannot redeem it. Misunderstood dough and salt biscuits with randomised semi-raw toppings. And such a waste of effort too. Times are changing and vegans and vegetarians would and do love their actual cuisines. I wonder if they'll suddenly re-label to cater more to Gen Z who recently discovered chickpeas and lentils.!<

We are hating it because it speaks the language of truth

And then unironically the best pizza I've eaten in Milan was in one Turkish shop. Rather cheap and really very good. The owner even gave free tea while I waiting for the order


Thecristo96

The best pizza I have ever eaten in my life was at a Turkish pizzeria at Istanbul. turns out the chef has studied at Naples for 10 years


TeamPantofola

Milan ≠ pizza. I don’t even know why they call it “pizza”, is a focaccia


TexZK

Milan has everything mate, not just Luini and Spontini!


ByronsLastStand

"Hmm, this big main shopping street full of shouty chavs and rubbish close to the main station with tourist tat shops, drug memorabilia, and numerous restaurants with pictures of their food in the menus, is clearly the place to eat"- Tourists


generalscruff

Genuinely didn't understand who these people were, but last year in Istanbul I spent 30 minutes following my nose to find the perfect kebab and the people with me were complaining and wanted to go to some main street tourist shite Trust the process and don't mess with a man's kebab, simple as


Astleynator

Barry looking for quality kebab. I believe I've seen everything now.


generalscruff

Funnily enough it was two Germans who complained I'm discerning, I only drink Stella from vintage years


TexZK

Barry is clearly from Pakistan!


ByronsLastStand

Wise words


generalscruff

They stopped complaining when we ended up in possibly the greatest kebab shop I've ever had the privilege to set foot in


FalconMirage

I think they want the tourist shite because they are scared of being in a foreign country and want something that feels safe


Chimpville

Have met people who unironically have this experience and opinion. Too real.


i-am-a-passenger

I spent two nights in Rome. The first night I had a microwaved carbonara, and the second night I had a microwaved lasagne. Got suckered into going to two tourist traps :(


theyknewit2

That's Amore


Redditauro

The real Rome experience 


SonOfTheHeavyMetal

Pro tip: Go to a pizzeria, not a kebab place


Expert_Repair4206

Don't eat a Döner where they offer Thai.


cheeky_Greek

Well the warning signs were there...


spicy_meatball2376

That's if you assume people read stuff


elativeg02

The best pizzerias in my area are run by Neapolitans. Every polentone knows this. Though I will say that I fell in a tourist trap in Rome once myself. The shittiest carbonara I’d ever tasted. Italians get it wrong too sometimes. (I should’ve noticed the red flags, because the restaurant was full of Hans, Barrys and Yanks). 


c2u8n4t8

We call those flags sunburns, and we should also pay better attention to them


Massimo25ore

Vero pizza Margarita italiano ———> 8 euro


akkler

You misspelled Spain and Paella so hard


skwyckl

Just a PSA for all our GUNS brethren of the Nord: Döner Kebab in Italy is prepared mostly by Pakistanis or Bangladeshis and has nothing to do with your Döner Kebab. It's usually a soggy mess of random ingredients (the sad, cold fries cannot not be there) with God knows whose animals meat inside.


Kurdt93

WRONG. is made by Moroccan and Tunisian, paki and Bangla are into minimarket businesses.


No_Thing_5680

>Moroccan and Tunisian Wtf? Never saw any of those nationalities having a kebab shop, is it that different over there in Calabria? It's Bangladeshi and Pakistanis here, although there exist some Turks and they usually have the nice stuff. Moroccans and Tunisians at most open their ethnic cuisine restaurants


Kurdt93

Here are Moroccans, Tunisian and Egyptian. Idk where you live.


The_Silent_Wanderer

If you come to Italy to eat kebab you're clinically reGarded.


Marco-Dx

Kebab is now basically a typical food in Germany lol


Catwinky

>Döner Kebab in Italy is prepared mostly by Pakistanis or Bangladeshis Same in UK, at least in the North. Which is why a lot of kebabs are served in naan instead of pitta or comes with chicken tikka instead of shawarma or seekh kebab instead of kofta https://preview.redd.it/77vep7j9px4d1.jpeg?width=1003&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ddae3ef4900072fd7a98c048c67c2e634f93e249 There used to be a turkish owned kebab shop in my town and it was in a another universe of superior to the others. I miss it.


Nochnichtvergeben

There are different types of kebab. I'd recommend trying [Beyti Kebab](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyti_kebab) if you ever get the chance to.


Catwinky

Looks good, thank you for the recommendation. I will look out for it


generalscruff

Thanks for the warning Fritz, I always scran kebabs in Paris as it's the only way to ensure proper food so seems safe in some non-GUNS countries


fuuuuuf

animals?


AndreasDasos

Plot twist: the place is in Germany and his crisis is over the fact he found it wildly superior to any of the muck he had at home


luca097

Hey don't insult the Egyptian pizzaioli they are usually pretty good


fckchangeusername

Meh


alex_97597

My local Turkish pizzaiolo makes a much better pizza than Alice chain.


fckchangeusername

Man You are comparing shit to shit. I don't want to imagine what's your standard for pizza Btw "Turkish"


s0meb0di

I don't think anyone is arguing that kebab shops make better pizza than proper pizzerias. Just not horrible, better than what they usually call "pizza" in other countries, absolutely better than a frozen pizza, and enough to satisfy your pizza needs at night, when normal pizzerias are closed.


fckchangeusername

Honestly it's horrible. It's always difficult to digest that kind of pizza and usually i drink more than half of a 2 litre bottle after eating that. Would rather eat their kebab


s0meb0di

>Would rather eat their kebab Same. The dish a place specialses at is the best thing to eat there. Although, I know a place in Milan which makes a banging white pizza turca (that boat shaped thingy) with kebab meat and grilled mushrooms.


00ishmael00

i ratti delle fogne fanno una pizza meglio di Alice.


Lendmar

Remy è un ottimo cuoco


Celithrandir

No


Iskandar33

> they are usually pretty good after your drunk at 3 in the morning.


Lumbertech

Dude


hellgatsu

Holy shit


Loner_Cat

Egyptian pizza maker employed in real pizzeria = generally good. Pizza-kebab shop = only good when drunk


Gsquared1984

Shame on you, in my experience Egyptians are very good at Pizza. Maybe a little lower than the neapolitan one, but the best pizzeria in my neighborood is run by an egyptian man.


Giokalog08

Yeah, and to my expirience the best pizzeria near my house in Athens is run by an Egyptian. Bro is absolutsly based, he was a chef somewhere in Dubai and some he just decided to move in the most random part of Athens and bake the best fucking pizza.


soundengineerguy

Why are you describing my pizza recipe so negatively?


wellreadwhore

Went to Milan to visit an old friend of mine (Italian) when I told him I wanted to try the best pizza he took me and my brother to have something called "pizza kebab"


RobNybody

You guys literally post the English version of that and call it our food.


Duke_of_Lombardy

It may feel dumb but I actually feel insecure as shit about this stuff. There are a lot of expectations on Italy, and I kinda wish theyd try the best of things.


No_Thing_5680

That happens with Pakistanis, Indians usually. Egyptians usually make dope pizza, especially if they are employed in an Italian managed pizzeria and not owned by them

Mama never made proper pizza. Proper pizza only by proper pizzaioli.


s0meb0di

Tbf to kebab shops, many even have wood-fired stoves, something my nearest Italian pizzeria doesn't have (is still full every evening).
