No one asked or wanted this comment but pepperoni was first created in NYC about 100 years ago. By Italian immigrants, sure, but that doesn't support my annoying joke ruining reply.

Thanks, so I don't have to be that "actually" guy mentioning that 99% of Italians have never seen pepperonis in their life. You saved me
It wasn't brought back to Italy much?
No, its taste isn't something that Italians would appreciate. It tastes like a cheap mix of a cheap German frankfurter and cheap calabrese 'nduja. It's almost impossible to find it in Italy.
I have never seen it in my life in Italy
Italians were also invented about 100 years ago, meme still holds.
Italy as country is about 160 years old, people living in the Italian peninsula have been called Italians for a few millenia tho

I thought that was just regular salami
Italian blood cells are made of salami.
American blood cells, depending upon blood type, are either pepperoni or cut up hotdogs.
White blood cells are pizza dough. It's all connected.
pizza dough is skin ._.
mozzarella balls are white blood cells
Would have been nice to use actual salame and not that American abomination, but yes can confirm that it's true.
Indeed
As an Italian myself, I must say 🤌
We have salami in our blood, can confirm 👌
Erythrocites, leucocytes, gabagoolcytes
This blood type is what causes Italians to cry out .... ITSA SPICY MEATABALL, AH!!??
It also causes them to flail their arms and hands around often, especially when they're talking.
This explains so much about my cholesterol
So non-Italian pizza isn't flat... what shape is it? I'm guessing spherical, or maybe saddle-shaped?
Or does "flat" refer to the geometrical space of the pizza, so like, non-Euclidean pizza?
