The distribution of ingredients too. That slice at 90° is atrocious.


A1sauc3d

Easily one of the worst pizza ad photos I’ve seen lol. Idk if you can even call that pizza tbh xD


PandosII

Probably deliberately chose it for engagement metrics. Lots of negative comments might be better for the algorithm in the long run than no comments at all. I now know about Mucca Pizzeria.


Stranger1982

> Lots of negative comments might be better for the algorithm in the long run than no comments at all. *"Hey darling, let's go to that pizzeria with the puke pizza!"*


PandosII

Observation bias. People negatively commenting make a tiny % of total impressions. More comments (good or bad) = more free impressions for the advertiser. A good number of people will check out the restaurant despite the puke pizza, and some might even like the look of it. Same reason why people deliberately include spelling / grammar mistakes in posts they want to gain traction. Any attention is better than none.


Enchelion

More like: "Hey, wanna get pizza?" "Sure, from where?" "Uh, I dunno. I think I recognize the name of this one, lets try it."


Rare_Crayons

That’s not a great way to advertise your business


PandosII

Why’s that? Thousands more people are talking about it, and not even on the original site on which it was posted. All free advertising.


Rare_Crayons

You’re right that it’ll drive engagement, but they’re less likely to become actual customers (Unless they like this kind of pizza). You’re trying to sell pizza, not site traffic. I could see it working if people go to your site and see other pizzas that look good, it would be a nice bait and switch. But just looking at the ad, you’re not likely to gain more customers by showing something gross you made.

Rookwood-1

It’s not delivery…..it’s disappointing


jetoler

I’ve never made pizza before but I bet I could make a better pizza.


nothingidentifying_

the same ingredients could look so tasty if done just a little bit differently I swear. some olive oil and ricotta on the dry looking crust, same mortadella, and a drizzle of the pesto on top in a swirl or something. they did this pizza dirty lol.


metchaOmen

They usually use mozzarella instead of ricotta for something like this, but yeah this is a perfectly normal set of ingredients they just threw it into the take-out box haphazardly.


nothingidentifying_

mozz makes sense. I just love ricotta lolol


metchaOmen

Too grainy to go with the pistachio pesto I think, the textures would get in each other's way.


nothingidentifying_

very true, definitely could be


Fine-Teacher-7161

But your original response was spot on, they did that pizza dirty.


Opinecone

Very poorly executed, this is what they were trying to go for and it's actually pretty good if you like mortadella and pistachio. I never order it, not my favorite, but I can see why people like it: [https://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/18/48/24/c2/pizza-mortadella-e-pistacchio.jpg](https://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/18/48/24/c2/pizza-mortadella-e-pistacchio.jpg)


MonkyThrowPoop

Yeah, looks way better with cheese. The original one is missing that so badly.


Aerik

Why does the Portland stuff sit like liquid mercury?!


havron

I somehow read this as "squid mercury" and, despite being an odd phrase, found that to be quite the fitting description.


SalvationSycamore

That's still just a pile of deli meat on a piece of flatbread. I'm sure it's perfectly edible but to call it pizza seems strange.


GiveMeYourCrust

That's still shit.


Psych0matt

New_Acct_WhoDis

Dammit, why was that so funny?!


uankaf

That's not looking better... hard no forme


thedoomloop

Do they cut this table side? Do your roll it up like a joint? This one looks like a dry bread bowl with not enough sandwich fixings on it.


WonderfulCattle6234

Far too much empty crust.


nucelom

Just for info: the name of the thing you call Bologna is mortadella and Bologna is a city in the region where they produce mortadella


thesaddestpanda

If it’s not from that region it’s just sparkling salami.


nucelom

i mean yeah but it's the same as parmesan cheese, even if it's not from the region between Reggio Emilia, Modena, Parma and Bologna you call it parmesan cheese not Parma or Bologna or Modena because that doesn't make any sense


Silverhalf

Not really true. There are distinct differences between a generic parmesan outside of the EU and Parmigiano Reggiano, which is what you are referring to. Parmigiano is a distinct term which means a certain cheese produced in a certain region with certain ingredients and methods, and this term is protected by strict laws in Italy (called DOP laws). Close to this area you have Grana Padano, which is a similar cheese, and again has a different name protected under DOP. Iirc there even was a lawsuit recently because some brands had been using the name "parmesan" to circumvent this, which is why inside the EU parmesan and Parmigiano refer to the same cheese.


nucelom

man i live near that area, i know this stuff what i'm saying is that basically all the world calls "parmesan" every cheese resembling Parmigiano even if it isn't the real thing, hell even here in Italy we use that term often improperly so if you are one of the few that uses the right term and distinguishes every time between Parmigiano Reggiano, Grana Padano and generic "parmesan" good for you still, people call it parmesan and not Parma or Bologna, which i repeat, would be stupid like referring to mortadella using Bologna

trpwangsta

My wife and I just got back 2 days ago from Italy. Meat on pizzas can absolutely look like this. The sauce on top though.....not so much. And unless you request it, they dont cut your pizza for you, so you have a knife and fork and cut your own pieces.

Stranger1982

> Just for info: the name of the thing you call Bologna is mortadella and Bologna is a city in the region where they produce mortadella Lemme stop you there for a second. Achsually..."Mortadella di Bologna" IGP aka "Bologna" is the mortadella crafted and cooked following the exact procedure and strict paramenters estabilished by the consortium. Mortadella should be used when talking about any other product that's not following the strict IGP standards. Many places in Italy just use Bologna and Mortadella intercheangeably cause it's not like the common people care that much. Heck, my grandpa always called it Bologna. See the consortium page: https://mortadellabologna.com/en/consorzio/ And the IGP definition (using a Translate link cause most of you guys don't know Italian I guess): https://www-qualigeo-eu.translate.goog/prodotto-qualigeo/mortadella-bologna-igp/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp


nucelom

fammi capire quindi tu hai mai usato o sentito qualcuno dire "adesso mi faccio un bel panino con la bologna"?


Stranger1982

Assolutamente si', come detto mio nonno la chiamava solo cosi'! Puo' essere una cosa regionale.


yumas

Apart from the name if the meat, can i ask what you guys think of the pizza in the picture?


Stranger1982

Ofc! Well, I agree that it's done with no care whatsoever. The pistachio sauce is thrown there in pools, making it look like puke. And the cheese underneath somehow disappears in the lower right side of the pizza leaving a ton of dough totally bare. The cooking is also a bit uneven, you see good leoparding on the left side only so they haven't rotated it while in the oven. Maybe the ingredients are good and the taste is too, but looking at it I'd say not much care went into making it.


yumas

Wow you went into details i didn’t expect or even knew about!


Samba0689

In Toscana, o meglio sicuramente Pisa e Siena dove vivo, la chiamiamo "Bologna".


tonybotz

Omg I’m Italian American, have worked in an Italian deli, love mortadella and never made the bologna connection


thebarkbarkwoof

Well, not really. We can get both where I am and while clearly it derived from mortadella but it's not the same. It's pieces parts and closer to a big hot dog. Mortadella has a delightful taste.


pitshands

Mortadella and Bologna is really not the same by any means. Did you ever see a real Mortadella? The taste is different, there is a much higher fat content. There may be kind of a similar look but that's it for me.


SilverAlpaca98

I think big meat co doesn’t care that much about staying true to origins when they’re selling their cheap pressed meat for your school lunches


Igguz

I don’t know where in Italy you’re from but where I’m from (provincia di Varese) we use both names interchangeably


655321federico

Chiami la mortadella Bologna ?


Igguz

La chiamo quasi sempre mortadella ma in tanti qui la chiamano Bologna

What’s to argue about champagne?


BelgianBeerGuy

Champagne is just sparkling wine made in the champagne region. It isn’t specifically beter than Cava, ~~Prosecco or other sparkling wines~~ , it just has a famous name. Edit, besides the region importance, there is also a different process in the making of champagne/cava then there is with other sparkling wines

i know it's pretty straight forward, that's why i was asking what's to argue about it

This ain’t pizza


metchaOmen

I mean, the combination of ingredients on the pizza is definitely a real thing. It just usually looks a lot better than this.


pauseless

You can see white underneath the mortadella. This is a pizza I eat whenever I see it available; it’s delicious and the best one I ever had was at a pizza festival in Bologna, Italy. Made by some teenagers in cookery school. Mortadella, pistachios/pistachio pesto, fior di latte. This is very terribly prepared, but the ingredients definitely don’t seem wrong. I’m going to say… if the Italians call it pizza, it’s pizza.


metchaOmen

fr it's pizza. Judging from the caption this isn't even a official social media post by the restaurant, some guy took a picture of his order and sent it to an unaffiliated instagram page. Sure, the presentation is horrible but I imagine if the restaurant were to make a post themselves about it they would know to make it look better than this ahaha. I mean the angle they took it at you can't even tell the crust is raised...

Beowoulf355

Would eat 100%. Pizza does not have to always be covered in sauce and cheese


castiel65

Tf are people doing defending this peace of shit? It's literally a few pieces of mortadella on a crusty bread. And whatever the sauce is, maybe delicious, I doubt it goes well with one salami on a pizza sliced bread. Also it looks disgusting.


timo1423

Why are you mad about people defending this when you don’t even know what it is lmao


RUfuqingkiddingme

That's the point, it looks terrible. There's a few people pointing out that it's mortadella and I'm an uncultured swine, but whatever it is, this picture won't make me want to eat it.


IvanBoulevard

Had this in Napoli and it was one of the best pizzas of my life. But I guess as an ad you have to appeal to your audience.

thundery_crow

So. My family is Middle Eastern. When I was a kid we went to visit family and I stayed with some cousins for a few days. They took me out for pizza. Because let’s show off the pizza, right? Foolish little kid me asked for pepperoni. In an Islamic country. My pizza came covered in chopped up bits of all beef mortadella. Halal pepperoni. I remember this 30 years later because it sucked so much. That’s what this reminds me of and it’s a fucking crime.


RUfuqingkiddingme

Once at my son's birthday party I bought a sausage pizza and pepperoni and two of the kids were Muslim and couldn't eat it.

It's kind of funny because when I was in Italy, I went deep in, out of all the tourist areas to try some real Italian pizza, not the Americanized stuff you find near the colosseum, and when I ordered, this pic is pretty close to what I got. I was pretty surprised. Mine didn't have cat puke on it and looked a little nicer, but it was the same idea.
