My wife puts Tabasco sauce on her pizza, while I am convinced that an Italian person dies every time she does that. Help us sort this out, please.

As a pineapple on pizza enjoyer I am not gonna judge, taste is subjective so no one but you decides what goes on your food. Honestly, this is how new recipes are made. If no one tried new variations then we wouldn't have most of our favorites!

Depends on the pizza. If you are eating a traditional pizza just like mamma mia made back in the old country, skip the Tabasco.

If you're eating greasy sloppy pizza from a dirty little place called, "Joe's" load up that Tabasco and the chili flakes, and add some of that artificial Parmesan powder that comes in little packets!

Yes.

Also, chili crisp is even better. Def try it.

Depends if it's good pizza or not. If you're talking a sauce heavy Italian/Boston style slice the Tabasco is a travesty... if it's some shitty NY slice the load that sucker up.

Hot sauce on pizza is a staple. Especially a good vinegary sauce. I'll put aside my ghost pepper sauces and grab my Valentina for it.

Man, I dip it in ketchup like a literal toddler.

Your pizza, Your choice

Here’s my take: most countries outside of the US are lacking when it comes to condiments and sauces. It’s your food, dress it how you wish. One of my recent favorites for pizza is Bachan’s Original Japanese Bbq sauce

Tabasco is the sauce of life. If I had to replace my blood with another liquid, it would be tabasco

What about spicy oil? It's at least how I see it served, but may be there it even more traditional

I don't like to put hot sauce on my pizza when it's still warm but cold pizza with hot sauce is pretty damn good

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I just mix a buttload of chili powder into the pizza sauce when I make them

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

That sounds pretty good to me. Though I would prefer crushed peppers, jalapenos, or Salsa Yucateca, Tabasco is a little too sour. Why do you care? Are you literally gatekeeping her pizza?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Hot take, but sauce on pizza is both too messy and too salty. It's enough on it's own, damn it!

I put Franks Red Hot on pizza all the time. It's no problem.

Pizza isn't owned by the Italians anyway. Many variants are decidedly American anyway, so it would be like a French person complaining about how the British cook a roast dinner.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Put it in the sauce.

She likes it, who cares? Enjoy what you want, and let others enjoy what they want. I don't like tabasco on pizza but I'm not going to get bent out of shape over someone doing that. If you are trying to MAKE something and you want that something to be as authentic as possible then sure, tabasco shouldn't be put on pizza. But you are eating. Eating is for enjoyment or sustenance . Not rules.

Sriracha on pizza is fantastic, eating that at this second.

Correction: Underwood Sriracha

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I like spice but I'm spice baby, so I put tobasco on a lot of stuff.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

If you are eating pizza by italian standards, theres only 1 topping besides cheese on there, 2 if you are daring. I like to bend the rules when it comes to personal preference and I also put tabasco on pizza sometimes.
