My wife puts Tabasco sauce on her pizza, while I am convinced that an Italian person dies every time she does that. Help us sort this out, please.

Depends if it's good pizza or not. If you're talking a sauce heavy Italian/Boston style slice the Tabasco is a travesty... if it's some shitty NY slice the load that sucker up.

Man, I dip it in ketchup like a literal toddler.

Depends on the pizza. If you are eating a traditional pizza just like mamma mia made back in the old country, skip the Tabasco.

If you're eating greasy sloppy pizza from a dirty little place called, "Joe's" load up that Tabasco and the chili flakes, and add some of that artificial Parmesan power that comes in little packets!

Hot sauce on pizza is a staple. Especially a good vinegary sauce. I'll put aside my ghost pepper sauces and grab my Valentina for it.

As a pineapple on pizza enjoyer I am not gonna judge, taste is subjective so no one but you decides what goes on your food. Honestly, this is how new recipes are made. If no one tried new variations then we wouldn't have most of our favorites!

I just mix a buttload of chili powder into the pizza sauce when I make them

What about spicy oil? It's at least how I see it served, but may be there it even more traditional

[–] Lighttrails@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Here’s my take: most countries outside of the US are lacking when it comes to condiments and sauces. It’s your food, dress it how you wish. One of my recent favorites for pizza is Bachan’s Original Japanese Bbq sauce

I don't like to put hot sauce on my pizza when it's still warm but cold pizza with hot sauce is pretty damn good

Tabasco is the sauce of life. If I had to replace my blood with another liquid, it would be tabasco

Your pizza, Your choice

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That sounds pretty good to me. Though I would prefer crushed peppers, jalapenos, or Salsa Yucateca, Tabasco is a little too sour. Why do you care? Are you literally gatekeeping her pizza?

Hot take, but sauce on pizza is both too messy and too salty. It's enough on it's own, damn it!

[–] sudo42@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Don’t let other people tell you how to eat.

If Italians had been gatekeepering 500 years ago, they wouldn’t have tomato-based dishes today.

[–] spacemanspiffy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Totally.

Its not the best hot sauce for pizza bit its still excellent and one of the best hot sauces.

[–] linearchaos@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Put it in the sauce.

Sriracha on pizza is fantastic, eating that at this second.

Correction: Underwood Sriracha

[–] reagansrottencorpse@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I like spice but I'm spice baby, so I put tobasco on a lot of stuff.

[–] EnderMB@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I put Franks Red Hot on pizza all the time. It's no problem.

Pizza isn't owned by the Italians anyway. Many variants are decidedly American anyway, so it would be like a French person complaining about how the British cook a roast dinner.
