This is why their pizzas are so boring. One or two toppings. Come on, get creative with it, Guissepe.

Most of Italian recipes are very simple. The focus usually is on quality on the ingredients and if they are good, a pizza with just mozzarella and tomatoes is already delicious. That said, even in Italy there are plenty of types of pizzas, but most of them don't have 20 ingredients, I suppose the point is that you actually want to taste what you eat, which is not the case when you mix many different things. There is a very messy and rich pizza (capricciosa) with a lot of toppings though (more than one obviously, but this is the most common).

Personally I am a margherita person, simple and boring is perfect, as long as it tastes great.

P.s. Giuseppe :)

That makes sense. But also I find it amusing because Romans had the opposite attitude with food of “you know what everything I ever eat needs? A fuck ton of fermented fish sauce”. Which like, both attitudes are great, but it is an amusing evolution of culture over two millennia

It actually makes sense, because Italian history is far from a continuum. In fact, most "Italian cuisine" is actually less than 100 years old!
