Explanation: Ancient Roman predecessors to modern pizza used pomegranate, amongst other fruits. Of course, such proto-‘pizzas’ lacked tomatoes (as tomatoes come from the Americas) and probably lacked mozzarella (as mozzarella is first mentioned during the Renaissance).

Since tomatos technically are fruit too, the text of that meme is still true but in a more boring way.

Romans liked a cheese that was more similar to ricotta. So it would be like a ricotta pizza which sounds nice. I wonder if they had ricotta pie, that stuff is so good

Ah, yes. Because the only thing that would improve my pizza eating experience is the risk of breaking a tooth on a seed.

Your teeth must be made of paper-mache, to break on a pomegranate seed

Drake, Bieber, Pineapple Pizza all really hurt our international reputation

Americans also eat something called Canadian bacon but I don’t think that matters
