If I actually have a general hankering for pizza, I get pizza with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. Not a taco on a bread base. Not a donair on a pizza crust.
I will say too that for all of the argument that pineapple drives, I can’t even believe people are fine with entertaining donair sauce as uncontroversial.

You sound more like a traditionalist.
Grew up 40 years ago next door to a 90 year old italian woman who made pizza. Best friends grandma. Many of the people in the area were related to her.
They all said the same thing. She makes the best italian pizza around.
They all hated her pizza.
North American pizza is different. Way different.
That family opened up a pizza joint in Winnipeg. Still there today. They dont make Grandmas pizzas. They would be out of business if they did.
Not picking a fight here. Yet were are talking about different pizzas.
Give me a pizza with tomato sauce and cheese I slap you silly. Yet it is a traditional pizza. In Italy! You are not wrong!
We added meat in North America! We made it better unless you are a vegan.
Even if you are a vegan we made it better for you too!
That old grandma made me a classic italian spagetti too. Olive oil and noodles. God that was awful. Cheese did help though. No tomato sauce or meat?
Different cultures.
That is fine and all.
Give me meat on a pizza, give me some weird toppings too. We ran with a good idea and made it better.
Enjoy your tomato sauce and cheese pizza. Sorry grandma has passed away.
You probably would of loved her cooking.
Again not a fight. We like what we like.
Italian food is not italian food in north america. Nor is chinese food.
