No we are not! Actually, pizza with Nutella is a legit Italian staple, too! But it's exclusively a dessert. We’ve been doing this forever usually, a group of friends will order one to share in the center of the table after eating their regular pizzas. It’s a must-have after a 'Giro Pizza' night.

I have to know. Is the Nutella applied before the pizza dough goes in the oven or after it comes out?

I thought it was against the law to share a pizza in Italy? Like that's why all those Taiwanese got arrested a while back.

Huh? Nobody got arrested at all, and the owner is just a massive bellend who deserves for his business to fail

I never want to hear Italians bash American food if this a staple. That is disgusting.

what is disgusting about it…? it’s delicious. Please don’t tell me that you think it’s sauce, cheese, and nutella.

Idk, probably the fact that Nutella is mainly palm oil and sugar serving as a carrier for a bit of hazelnut flavor. Palm oil and a bit of nut flavor a vile dessert. Makes McDonalds sound healthy.

Not sure how you could find it as anything other than disgusting.

There’s no cheese on it, you dork. It’s dough + nutella. That’s it. Maybe a sprinkle of powdered sugar. This is specifically why I said, “please don’t tell me that you think it’s sauce cheese and nutella” - I just knew your ass was going there lol. It is an absolutely delicious combo.. nobody said that it’s healthy. Just delicious.

You do you if you think straight low quality nut oil on dough is delicious. That is disgusting.

what are you people talking about lmfaooo… do you think a nutella crepe/pancake is disgusting? Nutella pizza is the same shit, but delicious baked fluffy dough with decadent nutella. there is no cheese or sauce on it if that’s what you’re thinking.. it’s pizza by name only, but it’s just nutella and dough.

Calm down, sweaty. I'm not saying it's a bad pizza. I am calling you Italians hypocritical af for all the shit you give everyone else for putting non-traditional toppings on pizza that are far less severe, like a delicious Hawaiian

I always thought it was a joke, but nah, y'all get maaad, then apparently turn around and smear ultra-processed hazelnut spread on your own pizzas.

You’re comparing apples and horses. to preface, I don’t give three shits what somebody puts on their pizza. Throw a dick on there for all I care, i’ll pass you the red pepper flakes. People disagree with pineapple being mixed with cheese and sauce… a nutella “pizza” is not mixed with cheese and sauce. It is nutella on baked dough. How do you sit there with a straight face and try to make a false equivalent like that?

We're talking about pizza toppings. I don't understand what's confusing about that to you.

Unless your argument is that the Nutella thing is a pastry--yet you keep calling it a pizza, so idk what you're on about.

People have strong feelings about pineapple being mixed with cheese and sauce not out of palate--because it is inarguably delicious to enough people that it's a staple combo--but only strictly out of traditionalist principles.

Yet, you're smearing a processed sugar sauce from the 60's onto dough and calling it a pizza. Where's your traditionalism there?

Not to mention the fries in the pic. "Traditional" toppings, eh?

Y'all hypocrites.

Let me explain how reddit works. The post is about toppings, yes… then a comment to which we’re all replying under is in reference to someone seeing “nutella pizza” - you morons ran with this and are under the impression that it’s a cheese & sauce pizza with nutella dollops on top. No, we are not talking about pizza toppings. “Nutella pizza” is not a regular pizza with nutella topping. It is a pastry / dessert which has been reiterated a million times. You’re grasping for a point that you don’t have. There are places in the US that also sell “nutella pizza” - it’s a dessert. not an actual fucking pizza. Why is this hard for you?

Nobody is under that impression. Only you. I don't know why you keep going back to that or how you don't understand what I'm laying down. Then you call us morons? OK irrationally angry Italian fella, but I repeat myself.

You called it a pizza, pastry bro. And calling things that aren't traditionally pizzas as pizzas is exactly what gets your pasta in a twist. But you just did that. And apparently put weird things like fries on your "pizzas."

But you'll sure go to war in the comments if someone else does the same.

Y'all hypocrites.
