It's got to be Europe, surely?

Asia for the best flavors and diversity....and I'm not tlaking about the 'localized' versions of those dishes which are in comparison rather horrible

I love my pizza, so I had to go with north america.


Are you kidding me? Pizza is italian.


I'm not. Pizza is very american. Although the first pizza may have been italian, americans have reinventied it. Chicago style, new york style, californian style, just to name a few. Pizza is also a very big part of american food. Look into it, american pizza is very different from italian. But what can i say i work at a pizza parlour and will soon open my own, of course I love it. Just because a food originated somewhere else does not mean that americans can't change it to fit their flavour, and that is what most american cuisine is, a good mix of evcerything else. I think that is what people mean by america does it all. Even at my pizza place we have a teriyaki chicken pizza (no red sauce) a pesto pizza (no red sauce). There are many places that combine different styles to create their own unique flavors.

Where in America will you open your pizza parlor? Would love to try some new creations.

Gotta love the USA for its diversity of pizzas. We put litterally anything on 'em.

Hopefully somewhere near Vegas.  Ohio hogs the good pizza places as it is.

I miss that about Ohio.  Romeo's which I wouldn't even consider the best goes into Italy and wins prizes.

Romeo's? I've heard they have the best pizza in the midwest. I gotta try them sometime. I guess Ohio is good for something, afterall.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

They might not do it anymore, but they used to give you a free coupon for a free small pizza if you sign up an email address. 

Personally I perfer Antonio's though.

Shhhh.... don't tell him that, you don't wanna destroy his childhood, do you?

Pizza evloved kind of differently, I'm pretty sure it's made quite differently in Italy.  And also, Germans brought the meat for hamburgers, but served them up as thick steaks, nothing like how hamburgers are today.  Same with hot dogs I think.  My first post has a number of things that justify North America qualifying.

As far as I can tell, you Yanks took all the European dishes and made them larger, more fattening and generally less healthy than their European counterparts. Pizza for instance, generally has a lot more cheese when done American style. I don't think they're significantly different to be able to say Pizza is North American. Even in America, a good quality Pizza is likely to be found in an Italian style Pizzeria.

Look up the history of an actual hamburger.  Pretty sure it was in New York near the ports.  For pizza, I believe the dough is different and perhaps seasoning, not sure.  And the people cooking the pizza in those places aren't necessarily Italian, there are lots of amazing places in NY at least and many people can make it.  N.A. has done a lot of things...

My post was half joking so I wouldn't be that suprised about the hamburger. I actually quite like Texan food and some of the sauces you guys make are delicious (and I'm still pissed all the Chillis resturants in the UK have closed down).

Pizza on the other hand, like I said isn't significantly different from the original Italian pizza. It doesn't matter who makes the pizza, it's still a very Italian food. I've had decent Indian style currys and Italian lasagnes made by English people and with slightly altered recipes from the traditional methods. Doesn't stop the curry from being Indian and the lasagne being Italian.

It's not to criticize, but you made some imprecise assumptions. Anyone can make it's own version of pizza to fit his tastes, in italy it's not different, for example I know a turkish resturant that makes pizza kebab. There are about 10/15 "standard" types of pizza you can find anywere but any resturant has also many of it's own varieties, also anywere you go you can choose the ingredients you want on your pizza from vegetables,to cheese, to ham, to fries, to fish. (the pesto pizza for example is quite common here too,), particular sausages and chocolate are not common (beacause people generally don't ask for them) but you can also choose them in some places if you want.

Just to add to this, I had a pizza in Thailand with 1000 island dressing instead of tomatoe sauce. It was disgusting and I don't recommend it to anyone.

I'll admit, Mexico carries a lot of the weight in N.A.  But the U.S. is no slouch in the amount of things that were pioneered, perhaps many simple foods that people take for granted (like milkshakes and peanut butter, hamburgers, hot dogs, and others), but still.

Louisiana cuisine is quite unique too.  Always wanted to visit Bourbon Street.

I would choose Europe or Aisa but Creole food is by far my favorite so, North America.
