What do I have to do to get a normal pizza in Japan, anyway? I have looked all over a Pizza Hut delivery menu and there isn't any pepperoni option, and doesn't seem to be a make your own pizza option either. They had a Hawaiian, but that's the only pizza I recognised. And they were fucking expensive! I have eaten at Italian restaraunts and they have good pizzas, but not the good old New York style I am looking for. Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait until I get back to America.
The most normal pizza they have is called a "deluxe"? I still want to figure out why the Japanese market doesn't want plain pizzas. I mean, lots of awesome Japanese food is the model of simplicity, such as tenpura and gyudon. Also, the best burger I have had here so far, the Lotteria Pure L, is just ketchup and onions. Why, when it comes to pizza, do the Japanese only want the most complex and bizarre toppings sets imaginable?
Lately I have been buying English muffins (you know the flat ones used in eggs benedict), slicing in half, adding some pizza sauce (can get at supermarket) some tomatos, some basil and some cheese and putting them in the toaster oven. Voila, mini pizza subs.
I cannot stomach asparagus and mayonaise pizza... oh and tinned corn on a pizza- don't get me started...
Has to be the toaster oven as my non-cat-swingable apartment isn't graced with an oven.
I just recently saw a picture of a pizza on the internet and even tho i've been back in the states for 2 years and eaten TONS of pizza, the taste that came to mind was a mayoniase pizza i could buy a Cirkle K
I will not abide ignorant intolerance just for the sake of getting along.
