| Just curious who originally thought corn would be a good topping on pizza? |

I seriously wonder the same thing about anchovies, and I am not even an anchovy hater. I just don't think they "go with" pizza very well. |

kinda too lazy to read through the whole thread, but if Pizza School hasn't been thoroughly recommended, it should be.
i know it's got a reputation for shitty ingredients, but it's by far the best pizza i've had in korea, not to mention the cheapest (i always rock the combination cheesecrust for 7k won).
the only better cheesecrust i've had was from pizza hut, but it's like 23k for a pizza with decent toppings...
unfortunately, since i've moved to the north side of the river, i've been having a tough time finding ones around here. back in my old neighborhood just south of gangnam, there was one right down the street from my hagwon, and 2 within a 10min walk from my apartment in opposite directions -- ultra convenient, haha. |

| All I can say is that corn on pizza is not specific to Asia. Pizza in eastern Europe is often topped with corn, peas, carrots, and green beans, amongst other random things. They also dip their pizza in ketchup there. |

As if the first few sentences weren't enough, the last one drives the knife in. |

The best tasting pizza i had was in Austria...the crust melted in your mouth.
The best "mainstream" pizza i had was Round Table Chicken Garlic Gourmet. I still have cravings for that once in a while. |

I'd consider Austria a western European country culturally, or give it its rightfully designated central Europe slot, location-wise. I saw corn and pea pizza many places, but by the time you get to Romania the "veggie supreme" comes with iceberg lettuce and cauliflower *almost joke*. The ketchup wasn't as bad as I thought it would be as a ranch replacement when I tried it, I must say, shamefully. And I buy expensive homemade ranch dressing where I come from. There is no reasonable comparison however. |

Go to Naples and order a pizza romana from just about any pizza joint in the city, you'll change your mind. About the only thing worth doing in Naples... |

Austria does a share a border with Italy, does it not? |

Yes. The pizza i had was Italian style thin and crispy with cheese and big slices of salami (pepperoni). It wasn't thick or had a ton of toppings...but the quality of the cheese, the salami, and the dough used in the crust must have been superb. It was absolutely mouth watering. |

I also tell anyone who asks that the best pizza I've had is from New York. NYC and up in Geneva, NY to be exact. |

Well, that's the thing. Toppings, even corn, are all about personal preference. It's the ingredients of the underlying pie, and maybe method of cooking, that make the pizza. Most Korean pizzas have more fundamental problems than having corn as a topping. |
