I mean, pizza very much is Mediterranean. It’s wood fire baked flatbread covered in herbs, acidic fruit and preserved dairy.

Next thing you are going to tell me that pita and tzatziki aren’t Med food.

It is if you make the crust out of whole wheat flour.

No. Mediterranean diet does not include processed foods, which pizza is.

How are you defining processed? You can make very authentic pizza with nothing but yeasted/sourdough fermented whole wheat flatbread, sliced tomatoes, ricotta, olive oil and basil. What in there is too processed for you?

Apparently, they've only ever had frozen or corporate chain versions.

Exactly. That’s like saying “Chinese food isn’t good for a plant based diet” because of your local Panda Express selection.
