Wouldn’t most pizza snobs say that Margherita is the most pure pizza? After all, this guy doesn’t actually like pizza, he’s just using it as a vehicle for all that extra cheese. Hell, pizza Marinara doesn’t have cheese at all and originally didn’t even have tomato sauce. Surely that’s even more pure? I guess I’m a pizza snob snob. /s
Also, It’s kind of a stupid opinion. It’s ignorant of some absolutely fantastic kinds of pizza like capricciosa, which is one of the most popular kinds of pizza in Italy. If the inventors of pizza say plenty of toppings are fine and even good, why be so prescriptive for everyone else? If OOP could expand their definition of pizza, they might even get to try the magnificence of pissaladière.
Most people I’ve seen making claims of what “real” pizza is tend to point at a traditional Napolese pizza, which is just basically a cheese pizza. They also tend to say that’s where pizza was invented, despite evidence that pizza has practically always existed since humans invented bread. Pretty much every single culture on Earth has some kind of flat bread+sauce+topping food.
which is just basically a cheese pizza.
it’s not even that, it’s fucking bread with a bit of cheese on it.

So…bread?
