Tabasco on pizza: Yay or Nay?

Personally, Tabasco in the bin. Hot sauce on cold pizza the morning after? Breakfast of champions

If you wanted pizza to be “italian”, it would have to have no tomatoes, peppers, pepperoni, buffalo milk cheese, basil or a whole bunch of other ingredients that are commonly added to pizza.

Pizza is a global food, do with it as you will

Tabasco is tasty and Italian food mythologies are fairly silly.

If you are eating pizza by italian standards, theres only 1 topping besides cheese on there, 2 if you are daring. I like to bend the rules when it comes to personal preference and I also put tabasco on pizza sometimes.

Nay, Tabasco is weak sauce for babies. Get any craft hot sauce instead.

You put red pepper flakes on your pizza sometimes, yeah? She just likes hers in liquid form.

Yay. But I only put it on frozen pizza.

Tabasco is the sauce of life. If I had to replace my blood with another liquid, it would be tabasco

She likes it, who cares? Enjoy what you want, and let others enjoy what they want. I don’t like tabasco on pizza but I’m not going to get bent out of shape over someone doing that. If you are trying to MAKE something and you want that something to be as authentic as possible then sure, tabasco shouldn’t be put on pizza. But you are eating. Eating is for enjoyment or sustenance . Not rules.

I’ve made a Christmas dinner pizza with a stuffing and gravy stuffed crust. Just have fun with the food you eat. Why be boring and keep things “authentic”?

Well, let’s be real, pizza isn’t some kind of holy thing that is only Italian.

It’s not like they’re the only people to ever put things on flat dough and bake it.

But ignoring that, food is a living thing, just like most languages, like music, like fashion and art. You can try to stick a pin in it, but you kill the thing by doing so.

It reaches a point where it’s ludicrous to try and claim a thing is possessed in its entirety by the place that first named something.

Once a cultural idea spreads far enough, you can only specify one type of the thing. It’s why we have champagne, and sparkling wine. It’s a way of putting a pin in something but recognizing that there’s still living versions out there.

Or, look at it like the difference between formal and colloquial language.

Pizza may have started in Italy as a term, but it’s like kleenex and qtips. Pizza is now the generic term for stuff cooked on flat dough. It can even be applied to stuff being placed on flat bread, and then cooked, though I don’t know why you’d not call it one of the other words for that idea other than being unaware of those words.

Put whatever you want on your dough, call it pizza, and enjoy ;)

I don’t like to put hot sauce on my pizza when it’s still warm but cold pizza with hot sauce is pretty damn good

Food is food. Do what you want to do to your food because you are eating it. Other people aren’t eating it so they don’t get a say. If most people saw what the original pizzas were they wouldn’t recognize them and some wouldn’t like them, including modern Italians.

Tabasco, in my opinion, is just like eating a pizza with peppers or a bunch of pepper flakes on it, or as I sometimes do, ground cayenne pepper.

All Italians are already dead after Brazilians decided that having sushi or French fries on a pizza was ok.

They died way before that when japan started putting ketchup on pasta

The opinions of imaginary and very close-minded italians do not concern me and should not bother you as well.
