Wait, do you NOT have nice juicy prawns on pizza in the US? Seafood pizza is the oldest deal in the book, what the hell oh wait this is a pizza thread what am I even.

i want pizza with scallops on it. is there some sort of intra-ilx ordering service conceptually similar to uber whereby i can just pay someone to make me a scallop pizza and bring it to my house?

of course we do. there's two places just in my neighborhood that will bring me a white pie with shrimp, red onions, capers, and lemon right this second if I want one. xpost

it'll cost more than a british hot dog though.

Best pizza Ive had in ages - one with falafels on it from the joint near my bandmate's house, we eat em during jams. Soooo good.

arugula and shrimp are perfectly great pizza toppings. Arugula isn't that common as a topping here, but it's similar enough to spinach, which is a common topping, I really have no idea why people are pretending to be shocked and offended, unless all they eat is like domino's or tombstone or the pizza equivalent of mcdonalds.

arugula/prosciutto pizza = godly.

^^^both preceding posts otm

seafood pizza is a classic, who the hell is shocked by that

news just in from Facebook: apparently northerners call a pizza with chips (fries) on it a "London pizza". Can anyone confirm or deny?

not round our end

Veggie Field Roast frankfurters look great, but the nearest retailer appears to be over 1000 miles away. ::sadface::

Seafood on pizza = death on a plate for me, but seriously, I don't understand Americans if they think this is weird?

Pizza with chips sounds gross, but... (I kinda want it now.)

London pizzas all round!

The London Pizza. I think I saw them support Pulp in 1995?

This video suggests it's pizza + chips + garlic sauce in middlesborough, menus confirm.

whoops, *middlesbrough, apologies the north.

the pizza in the video is an abomination

OH MY GOD THAT SOUNDS REVOLTING/AMAZING I wish I still drank so I could try that around 2am, super drunk and needing stodge.

(I can't stop reading this thread title as if it were song lyrics, dear god help me
Dinner with a Britisher

I have piiiiiiiiiiiiics...)

((I have not watched the video))

so much yucky looking sauce on the thing, wtf the north?

you shouldn't need to eat pizza with a spoon

prefer to dip into my sauce tbh but if that's garlic yog then i'd still smash it

but it's delicious garlic sauce! wish more places did garlic mayo in London, you used to get that a lot when I lived in Bristol

In Britain, I always eat pizza with a knife and fork. It seems only polite.

(In NY, I spent many, many years perfecting the art of eating a slice of pizza without ever, ever touching it with my fingers.)

looking forward to opinions on the London pizza from our cousins across the pond

it looks like a fucking pond tbh

two nations, separated by garlic sauce

London Pizza posing formidable challenge to Scottish munchy box's position as 'heart disease in a box' champion. Good work, Middlesbrough.

Pizza with chips on is standard in pretty much every takeaway place I've been to.in Italy. I've never seen it in London though.

Middlesbrough also has the Parmo, which also vies for the 'direct injection of arteriosclerosis' award.

London pizza is champion forever. first one I had was in Nottingham it was so horrible but the sheer triumph of the "let's put french fries on a pizza, we will call it the London pizza" concept was more important than trivialities like taste

prawns on pizza are of course hilarious but as there is actually a Mexican restaurant in London that calls itself, I shit you not, Wahaca, there are presently bigger fish to fry

there are a bunch of those, and they're really popular

one of the less successful reboots of the Q-bert series there xp

Wahaca is pretty decent, on the whole.

sad lol @ Wahaca.

The London Pizza looks delicious and I would eat a pizza

I could murder a prawn and garlic and white sauce and rocket pizza.

up north, the pizza murders you

I have lost any kind of discernment WRT Britishes Mexican food, I mean, I eat at Benito's Hat quite happily.

Vice's withering, haughty fascination with what they deem to be outsider culture never fails to come off as a sort of self-loathing regret at being a magazine by and for hip urban sophisticates with precisely zero excitement or novelty in their own lives

lol at American "Taco Bell" what is that, a bell made out of tacos???

Taco Bell is like the mission bell at the end of Hotel California to tell you all you dead now.

pizza diet man is a hero

london pizza is an abortion

italian willingness to abort pizzas shows how they ceded their birthright long ago to the U.S.A.

no tails on pizza, if you want another meal just have another meal, pizza is for pizza eaters like dan
