- kzrdude 5y agoThis is wild, I didn't know such default pizzas existed (my context: scandinavia)
- hnal943 5y agoI'm USA and had no idea adults ate cheese pizza.
- thehappypm 5y ago.. your pizza doesn’t have cheese?
- rcpt 5y agoProper Naples pizza doesn't have toppings. There are regulations https://www.pizzanapoletana.org/en/ricetta_pizza_napoletana https://www.pizzanapoletana.org/en/ricetta_pizza_napoletana
- throwaway2037 5y agoHow about Pizza Margherita in Italy? It is one of the most common pizzas for adults to order.
- tluyben2 5y agoYeah, it seems cheese pizza is a (badly done according to Napolitanen tradition) margherita ; it does have base, tomato sauce and cheese according to all the pictures and references I could find. And that is indeed very common everywhere I have been, including the US where TIL apparently you just say ‘cheese slice’.
- Gunnerhead 5y agoHuh? What type of pizza should adults eat?
- bee_rider 5y agoCheese pizza must be the default, right? It is the lack of toppings. Although whether they follow up to clarify about toppings must depend on the place. In my experience, if the guy on the phone is rude and lets you mess up your order, they are much more likely to produce a good pizza. Places will only be polite (or offer lots of options) if they can't compete on quality.
- Handytinge 5y agoIn every country I've ordered pizza, there is no default. If I said "a large pizza", they'd say "ok, what type?".
- kzrdude 5y agoAh, the 'Soup Nazi' hypothesis
- bee_rider 5y agoI haven't watches Seinfeld, but I'm under the impression that the main characters are actually the villains, right? The Soup Nazi did nothing wrong (I assume)!
- yoz-y 5y agoNever seen a place with a "default". If you ask for pizza it would be exactly like the root comment said. Even if you were to ask for no-toppings you still have to choose whether you want a cream or tomato base.
- Ekaros 5y agoNot in Nordics or at least in Finland. From search of about dozen pizza places, single one had "Margherita" with cheece and sauce only. Rest don't even have an option for one.
