Mexico was growing and eating tomatoes before the western world including Italy.
Mexico has been using tortillas for centuries (10k years).
Tortillas are an unleavened flatbread and Mexicans put tomatoes on them. Pizza
So, Mexico invented Pizza, not Italy.

Person A: "I want Mexican food"
Person B: "Me too, let's order a pizza"

New to the thread. I spend a lot time with pizza places in Los Angeles and I have some opinions.

Good to great pizzas in and around LA:

"NY Style"
Delicious - Hollywood/Adams
Little Coyote - Long Beach (Kinda a cross btw CA and NY styles, really)

"Neapolitan Style" ie, wood-fired
Milo & Olive - Santa Monica
Pizzana - Brentwood/WeHo (fuckin amazing pizzas, you seen the sandos in the Italian sandwich thread)
Michael's - Long Beach (really fucking good)
Vino e Cucina - Long Beach
L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele - Hollywood (The original, from Naples, now in California also. Get a margherita and a sbagliata (mistake), which has smoked mozzarella)
Jon & Vinny's - Brentwood/Fairfax (Good but a little pricey)
Mozza - Hancock Park(?) (Good but small and expensive)

And there's a guy in Long Beach making wood-fired pizzas out of a Chevy van conversion. Speak Cheezy maybe. Very good Neapolitan style.

I've been counting calories this week.

I don't have to restrict calories, just have to count.

I naturally restrict to see how low I can go, like how long I can hold my breath underwater.

I''ve been coming in at 1200 a day.

My food is lasting forever!

Normally, I'm like a dog; I eat all my food in one day.

I want Pizza this weekend!

Neopolitan can be great but IMO the crust on American style pizza dough is better. The touch of sugar and oil in the dough really goes a long way for texture and caramelization.

Pizza is only as good as it's crust. A pizza with an amazing crust but average sauce, cheese and toppings, assuming proper proportions, will still be a very good to excellent pizza. The reverse is not true. A pizza with amazing sauce but average crust will only be an average pizza.

surprisingly have had awesome good pizza in South America, particularly Ecuador.
Agreed. The pizza place in front of the break at Montanita is surprisingly good. Found lots of good pizza in Brazil as well.I think enough Italians have settled in South America to show them how it's done :beer:
