Italian pizzas never had tomatoes on them before the 1700's !!!!! They have had tomatoes on them since then.

Yikes!

Somebody better tell the real Italians that real pizza doesn't have tomatoes in it!

Pizza

Italy Naples and Campania

Neapolitan pizza (Margherita)

Neapolitan pizza (pizza napoletana): Authentic Neapolitan pizzas are typically made with tomatoes and Mozzarella cheese. They can be made with ingredients like San Marzano tomatoes, which grow on the volcanic plains to the south of Mount Vesuvius, and mozzarella di bufala Campana, made with the milk from water buffalo raised in the marshlands of Campania and Lazio in a semi-wild state (this mozzarella is protected with its own European protected designation of origin).[10]

• Pizza romana: tomato, mozzarella, anchovies, oregano, oil
• Pizza viennese: tomato, mozzarella, German sausage, oregano, oil
• Pizza capricciosa: mozzarella, tomato, mushrooms, artichokes, cooked ham, olives, oil[16]
• Pizza quattro formaggi: ("four cheese pizza"):[17] tomatoes, and the cheeses mozzarella, stracchino, fontina and gorgonzola. Sometimes ricotta is swapped for one of the latter three.
• Pizza bianca ("white pizza"):[18] In Rome, the term pizza bianca refers to a type of bread topped with olive oil, salt and, occasionally herbs,[19] such as rosemary sprigs. It is also a Roman style to add figs to the pizza, the result being known as pizza e fichi.[20]
• Pizza alla casalinga: ("Grandma pizza") consists of a thin layer of dough which is stretched into an oiled, square "Sicilian" pan, topped sparingly with shredded mozzarella, crushed uncooked canned tomatoes, chopped garlic and olive oil, and baked until the top bubbles and the bottom is crisp

A traditional pizza in Italy can just have tomato, cheese, herb ( e.g. Basil) and oil on it.

None of these cheese stuffed crusts and 50 toppings like they do here.

I never put tomatoes on my pizzas.  Real Italian pizza does not have tomatoes.

Pre 1700 was a loooooooooong time ago.

My choice - avoid pizzas with anchovies on them.

I have no objection to Halal food. Of course we will still be able to buy unprocessed pork and bacon.

I don't mind shredded chook on pizza 🙂

Still haven't tried the burger in the crust pizza yet....tried once and they had sold out

Shredded chook pizza is more healthy than a lot of other options high in fat like meat lovers ones.
