Yes waiter, I paid 40 bucks for this pizza. Could you fucking cut it?

In Italy we are not used to have the pizza cut for us (clearly one may ask).

I would be rather disappointed if I was served a pre-cut pizza in a restaurant, because I prefer to cut my pizza in a specific number of slices which also depend on the stiffness of pizza base and weight of the topping.

Your customs suck

Ok then, you asked for it. Maybe if you had the energy to cut your own food and put it in your mouth by yourself you wouldn’t weigh 300 lbs. go eat a bucket of something, please

You’re seriously comparing 10% with over 40%?

dasaint2020 t1_itmoav7 wrote

10 percent what? Doing research? Never seen an Italian trying to catch his breath in-between eating a sandwich and wiping his face off with his hand. America is also a larger heavily populated country. (No pun intended). So 10 percent of what population?

Not in Naples ma boi. Also this was €12, and it’s the fancy Margherita. Normal is €8.70.

Yeah, why not? Why not perpetuating American stereotypes? Nice job

You CAN'T slice it. This is not an American big shit pizza.

Never been in a pizzeria in all of Italy that wasn't a tourist trap where a single pizza costed more than 10€ (talking about the most expensive ones).

And yeah we usually like to cut our own pizzas

There are some places which use fancy ingredients (and a lot of chutzpah) where a pizza can cost much more than 10 euro, see this one for example (not far from where I live).

We're talking about gourmet here... though yeah, I guess I should have specified I was talking about "normal" places.

EDIT: btw looks like a nice place, shame it's too far from me.

And since you’re here, could you chew it for me please?

It's not a good idea to cut the entire pizza right away, it gets cold way sooner, we never do that in Italy anyways, you can use a fork and a knife can you?

That's a lie, the first slices of pizza kills everyone's mouth

I was obviously talking about the last slices of pizza

Doesn't every food get cold till the last bite/slice

alesimula97 t1_itozabj wrote

It gets cold faster = the time taken to get cold decreases

dasaint2020 t1_itrpxrl wrote

It's gets cold faster the amount of time to cut this shit, instead of having pre sliced and held together

alesimula97 t1_itsced0 wrote

Dude you have to cut one slice at a time, eat it, then cut another by making a cut right next to that one.

It takes 2 seconds to apply a single cut, it gets colder if you slice it ENTIRELY right away instead of the slice you want to eat, simply because it loses heat faster when it's all sliced up

dasaint2020 t1_itshiod wrote

How the fuck does that work, as long as the pizza is together and not fanned out and separated it'll stay hot longer no matter how many slices. Not slicing the pizza is just a lazy part of the service. Something real Italian services are known for. Have you seen a Sicilian salad? Nothing cut in that shit. A Neapolitan pizza takes 6 minutes to cook from rolling the pizza to finish. There's not a lot of work to it. This is a laziness to service the customer takes as fancy.

alesimula97 t1_itslf2w wrote

Is not laziness as it's not laziness to cut the steak for you.

Unless otherwise specified, you're expected to be able bodied and mentally capable of using a fork and a knife and cut your own damn pizza

dasaint2020 t1_itsnhgf wrote

You paid for service, best pizza restaurants in the world slice your pizza and they stay blazing hot. I guess those pizza restaurants aren't in Italy, with well famous big chefs, not exactly known for making a rush in a kitchen, or low-fat ingredients. Figures they'd make the customer finish the order. And yes I do work at a Neapolitan pizza restaurant. Everything from made scratch.

alesimula97 t1_itspd14 wrote

First of all not everyone cuts or eats pizza the same way, and "you paid for the service" doesn't mean jack shit.

You paid to sit at the table, and to have your pizza cooked and served, no one guarantees slicing the pizza being part of the service, nor is it written in stone that it has to be. Is it so hard to understand that not everyone wants that service, nor is it standard in certain places to offer it?

It's like I went to a restaurant in Japan and complained there is no bread on my table

dasaint2020 t1_itsr24x wrote

Now you're comparing Japan's service skills to Italy? The speed and hard workers, working everyday. Hell cutting shit into bite sized pieces where you barely have to chew it? Then they will not except tips. It's near illegal and rude because of the excepted service. America and Italy both take tips, but America actually provides better service. This isn't a debate about side dishes. This is service not finishing the job, The point of restaurants is to rest and reserve with family, friends, or on break from work. Italy makes you think this is fancy...no it's lazy.

alesimula97 t1_itsseo8 wrote

No, this is not fancy, nor does it pretend to be, this is simply not treating you like an entitled karen or a special needs kid

And I simply compared the difference in service, most restaurants in Italy serve bread on the table, but if I went to a restaurant in Japan and complained of the lack of bread, like you are complaining about an unsliced pizza, I'd be rightfully seen as an i‎d‎io‎t
