Does proper pizza even exist there today? I've had my fair share in Moscow and Kiev a decade ago or so. It was usually thick, soft, gooey dough with a ton of toppings. For me it was almost inedible. The last slice I tried was in a pizzeria in Kiev. It looked like a normal pizza place from the outside. I paid for my slice and I guess I was so hungry I didn't even notice there were no pizza ovens. They just straight up took a frozen pizza and microwaved it. I took one bite and immediately tossed it in the bin in front of them. I'm sure they thought I was some crazy American, but the the thought of serving a frozen pizza in a dedicated pizza restaurant just seemed so ridiculous to me. Interestingly I'm in Shanghai as I'm typing this and the pizza here is very similar to Russian pizza. We ordered from a few places, including Pizza Hut which is popular here, and they're all the thick doughy style. Usually when all else fails my kids will eat pizza. But they even refused the Pizza Hut slices. I wish I could see if they had the classic Pizza Hut I ate as a kid, but nearly all restaurants here require you to have one of the chinese mobile apps just to view the dang menus which is a whole separate topic.
