I couldn’t disagree more. I’ve also been to Italy, specifically to Napoli, and just the dough alone is phenomenal, something between pancake and bread. Then the fresh tomatoes and mozzarella on top with the fresh basil leaves for the something extra - perfect balance, heaven in my mouth!
I’ve also been to the US (west coast, Portland) and Jebus, that was terrible. First they don’t give you a pizza but a slice of pizza, then it’s reheated because they make a lot of it and can’t sell it fresh. The toppings is dry ham and tasteless cheese, a ton of cheese, but just flavorless cheese. I tried in a couple of places there with practically the same result. Thanks, but no thanks.
The Swedish pizza is probably what I would say is what you’re talking about, tons of toppings and decent dough.
Bro you went to Portland Oregon and got some shit new york style by the slice? You fucked up
You should try
Ken’s Artisan Pizza
A’pizza Scholl’s
Pizzeria Otto
Pizza Thief
The Star
And that’s just the best of the best that I’ve personally been to. Plenty of smaller places serving up phenomenal pies as well dotted everywhere. You only get by the slice of you’re starving right now and have less than 5 bucks.

WTF, that doesn’t sound even remotely correct. How much did you pay, $0.50? You got scammed dude. I’m from Texas which, afaik, is probably at the bottom of the list of “places you think of when someone says, ‘pizza’” but I’ve had way better pizza than what you’re describing. Hell, Pizza Hut is probably better than what you’re describing lol. That sounds horrid.
Well there’s your problem, the west coast has been doing strange things to their Pizza ever since that one cannuck thought using pineapples would excuse calling something a Hawaiian pizza without any spam

Kebab pizza with french fries:

Mid range but great
Places that are over hyped.
Swedish kebab pizza feels like it shouldn’t exist, but it’s honestly so good
Oh I forgot to add one thing about the Italian pizza. I’ve eaten pizza in Rome too, and it was practically as terrible as in Portland.
General rule of thumb: don’t go to tourist spots or where something has been invented. It’s worse than the knockoffs.
Real “Sachertorte” from “Hotel Sacher” in Vienna is mindlessly overpriced and way worse than any one you can get at any small local bakery.
Original “Carpaccio” from “Harry‘s Bar” in Venice is the same - extremely overpriced and just not good and not worth the money.
I’ve had amazing “Tunbrötsrulle” at some little restaurant in Stockholm, I’ve forgotten the name, but they also had burgers on the menu.

There was a place I used to go that made a “Greek Pizza,” which was basically a gyro on pizza dough instead of pita and with melted feta on top.
Oh my god it was amazing.
