Why do people try to pretend authentic Italian pizza is best? Is it a giant cope?

>be poor Italian, living in near extreme poverty
>very little to eat/very little food available
>make a small piece of dough and stretch it as thin as possible to make it appear larger
>can't make a thick tomato sauce, due to lack of tomatoes, so i add water to get enough to cover the dough
>add 3 pieces of cheese and 1 basil leaf. I cant afford to add anything else


>be average American (living like kings compared to average Italian)
>see Italian pizza. Decide to improve it because I'm not living in poverty
>make the dough a bit thicker and larger
>decide to add more flavorful/thicker sauce
>cover the entire pizza with cheese, proteins, or vegetables because I have an endless amount of food and can afford to do so

when you die your debts are taken out of the assets you personally owned, your medical bills don't go to your family. if it worked like that every person in America would be born into debt.

Italian American here who has visited the motherland a couple of times.

It all has to do with classism. It is seen as vile to eat garlic in any form where it has discernible taste in a dish, since it gives you a terrible breath. Garlic breath is legitimately an indicator for a simpleton, a peasant, a subhuman over in Lombardy. On that note, adding additional ingredients to traditional recipes not only is sullying the divine traditions, but is also similarly a peasant radar. It betrays (in their eyes) a ravenous animal looking to fill their belly. It's also why having more than one food type on a plate (say, having a steak and broccoli together) is distasteful. I wish I were joking.

I fucking hate Italians. (particularly Lombardy niggers)

Italians are full of cope. They can't afford adding ingredients to pizza, so they attack anybody who does so. Pure cope.

Kek. You have no idea how it works. Is this what your government funded news stations tell you? A coworker of mine works in Europe. We have the same exact job and get paid the same. He freaked out when I told him what my take home pay was. Let's just say I can afford a card and a house. He rents a small 1 bedroom apartment and can't afford a car. He has to take public transportation lmao.

OP is onto something. Traditional Italian cuisine is pretty much "as cheap as you can get it but even cheaper". Pasta topped with wild horseradish, because it was free. Topped with almonds, because those were easy to steal from the farmer.
All polenta dishes are essentially despair-tier subsistence food. Corn was grown in Italy only to feed poor farmhands, so the well-off farmer could earn more profit on his wheat and other serious crops.

Even if you wanted to do these dishes "authentic", what you would do is go outside and find wild edible plants to top the pasta with, possible even to adulterate the flour with, and other free/near-free ingredients. Not a bad starting point, but no need to cook like this if you can afford cheese and meat, which I believe all posters on this board can.
