- cubefox 3y agoOkay, then it seems to be less the toppings than the "recipe ancestry" that determines what counts as Pizza. Otherwise flammkuchen would also count: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flammekueche https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flammekueche
- timeon 3y ago> "recipe ancestry" I think it is mostly about language. Pizza is loan word from Italian in German language in this case. So you may also say it other way around: Pizza counts as flammkuchen.
- cubefox 3y agoBut it doesn't! I haven't heard anyone label one as a type of the other.
- mr_mitm 3y agoYes, besides the toppings, for which there is no rule (there is pizza bianca without tomato, and there is pizza marina without cheese), I believe everybody agrees that pizza dough needs to be made with yeast or sourdough. Flammkuchen dough has neither.
- alberto_ol 3y agoItalian ortography is not as bad as the english one, but nonetheless is sometimes illogical. We have a useless lettere 'q' which is pronounced like the the hard c. 'Q' is used only before 'u'. So there some words that are written with "qu" and other with "cu" only for etymologyical reasons. The number 4 is spelled 'quattro'. The pizza with the four cheeses is 'quattro formaggi'.
- jaclaz 3y agoTo be picky, the general rule is that q goes before u only if u is followed by another vowel (qui, quo, qua), c is used in the other cases, but - of course - there are a few exceptions, the most common being "cui".
