We wanted to order pizza and I told my girlfriend (who is Italian) that I might order Pizza Hawaii. Her reflexes kicked in and she bit me.

    I like Pizza Hawaii, that doesn’t mean I’m a war criminal.

    Oh my Gucciness, my mom did that while I was growing up. I learned how to get my carbonara on when I moved to Europe. Damn, I love the traditional carbonara.

    Now go to Rome and get it there. I really miss proper carbonara and Amatriciana after moving from Rome to northern Italy.

    Tell him to not go to restaurants within sight of a famous monument and never if there is someone in the street convincing people to come in.

    Or if you want a concrete recommendation, go to Zi Umberto in Trastevere for awesome Roman peasant food. But you need to book.

    Curious, is their preference guanciale o pancetta? I tried both, and guanciale is my favorite.

    The memes about this with Italians have made me never want to even so much as converse with an Italian about food. No, there's no right way to do anything, there's just ways that work and ways that don't and being an asshole (sorry I've seen a bunch of obnoxious TikToks) doesn't make you more right, it just makes you more insufferable. There was one particular series of shorts that kept popping up for me with an Italian guy and his American girlfriend that always revolved around him getting angry at her cooking and every single time I wanted to be able to punch that chode in his Adam's apple repeatedly until he could never speak again.

    Well yeah, nobody calls it that. It's Hawaiian Pizza.

    I am almost sure it’s also in Italy. But gf is sleeping. Can’t ask.

    Edit: Ok, I woke her up and it's a bit more complicated. You usually say things like Pizza con "ingredient" or Pizza alla "stuff". There are some pizzas that a famous and these are called Pizza "Name". So, if the country of Italy ever would accept the existence of Pizza Hawaii, it would be called that.
