My wife puts Tabasco sauce on her pizza, while I am convinced that an Italian person dies every time she does that. Help us sort this out, please.

Not for me but can’t hate on it. People like some weird shit. Do what makes you happy, as long as it doesn’t infringe on others.

mmm no, i dont think so. Crushed red pepper and jalapenos tho? Hell yea

As a pineapple on pizza enjoyer I am not gonna judge, taste is subjective so no one but you decides what goes on your food. Honestly, this is how new recipes are made. If no one tried new variations then we wouldn't have most of our favorites!

Hot sauce on pizza is a staple. Especially a good vinegary sauce. I'll put aside my ghost pepper sauces and grab my Valentina for it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Man, I dip it in ketchup like a literal toddler.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Yes.

Also, chili crisp is even better. Def try it.

Depends if it's good pizza or not. If you're talking a sauce heavy Italian/Boston style slice the Tabasco is a travesty... if it's some shitty NY slice the load that sucker up.

Depends on the pizza. If you are eating a traditional pizza just like mamma mia made back in the old country, skip the Tabasco.

If you're eating greasy sloppy pizza from a dirty little place called, "Joe's" load up that Tabasco and the chili flakes, and add some of that artificial Parmesan powder that comes in little packets!

What about spicy oil? It's at least how I see it served, but may be there it even more traditional

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I just mix a buttload of chili powder into the pizza sauce when I make them

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Here’s my take: most countries outside of the US are lacking when it comes to condiments and sauces. It’s your food, dress it how you wish. One of my recent favorites for pizza is Bachan’s Original Japanese Bbq sauce

Your pizza, Your choice

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Yay. But I only put it on frozen pizza.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I like spice but I'm spice baby, so I put tobasco on a lot of stuff.

Sriracha on pizza is fantastic, eating that at this second.

Correction: Underwood Sriracha

So what you want to know is: if i have a very negative attitude towards Italian people, can i support my wife in putting as much tabasco on her pizza?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Hot take, but sauce on pizza is both too messy and too salty. It's enough on it's own, damn it!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Put it in the sauce.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not Tabasco, try "Louisiana Gold" on your pizza (assuming you can find it)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Or just some classic Tonies.

I have a guideline I like to follow when putting together my pizzas, I like something spicy, something savory, and something sweet

Spice: banana peppers, jalepenos, or yes, hot sauce if that's what I've got

Savory: bacon,chicken, pulled pork, sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms,

Sweet: onions, picked red onions, roasted corn, pineapple

You can blend stuff (put tandoori chicken on the pizza) for even more interesting combos!

I feel like one of each gives a great result.

I put it on cold pizza, on hot i use chili flakes

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Why does pizza taste good at any (edible) temperature? Hot pizza, lukewarm pizza, room temperature pizza, chilled pizza, cold pizza, any of those tastes fucking amazing in their own way, how? (I don't think frozen pizza is counted as edible).
