Italians are up in arms. They're gesticulating wildly. More wildly than a normal conversation. We're hand talkers. The reasoning is because a pizza battle has returned to it's roots. Pineapple on pizza. The pineapple on pizza battle has been an American argument for years, but only recently has it crossed the borders of Italy.
It's take some time to make it across the ocean, but a highly respected pizza shop in of all places, Naples, Italy has put pineapple on his menu. There are a few eye popping parts to this who thing. First, Naples is considered the pizza capital of the world. Second, the pizzeria owner that added pineapple to one of his pizzas is Gino Sorbillo. Gino is a 3rd generation pizza maker and owner of restaurant with the greatest pizza I've ever had.
If you ever find yourself in Naples, go to Sorbillo. The lines can be long, but it was the best hour + wait ever. People were scattered all over the street waiting for their name to be called. Across from Sorbillo was a small shop that was selling beers to the people waiting, but that was almost a decade ago. I'm not totally sure if that place still does that or is even still open. That's besides the point. Go wait for an amazing pizza.
Back to what we're talking about the pineapple on pizza battle. Gino told CNN he's doing it to "combat food prejudice." His pineapple pizza is a bit different that what we argue about here in the states. This is not a Hawaiian pizza, but a white pizza with 3 different cheeses and caramelized pineapple on it. He says that tomatoes are fruit and you should never have two fruits on a pizza. It would be too acidic and "wouldn't be a good product".
Does Gino's explanation make it alright to put pineapple on pizza? I'm not going to argue with the guy who makes incredible pizzas. In the pizza capital of the world. When in Italy, visit Sorbillo in Naples. Judge for yourself.
Here Are The Delaware Valley’s Favorite Drunk Foods
Have you ever wondered what each state's favorite drunk foods are? This awesome study by Online-Casinos.com reveals just that.
The drunk munchies are real. You know, that feeling when you drink too much, and you simply MUST eat food. You get in your Uber or opt to walk, to the nearest open place to eat. Usually, you get fries, pizza, chicken tenders, or things of the like. You just want something quick, fried, and delicious. Something salty, rich, and super-satiating. It's one of the best-drunk experiences ever!
The team at Online-Casinos surveyed people who get drunk rather often to determine what foods they turn to in order to satisfy drunk cravings. They asked people across the U.S. and Canada. It's actually pretty enlightening to see which states go for what.
The most popular drunk food across the board: burgers. But, that option doesn't seem to be Delaware, New Jersey, or Pennsylvania's go-to.
So, what are our go-to's? What is the ultimate drunk food in each of the Delaware Valley states? What makes us tick? It's actually more interesting than you'd think. You wouldn't guess Pennsylvania's at all, I presume. Let's see, though.
Here are the Delaware Valley's favorite drunk foods:

Mozzarella sticks.
They're crispy. They're cheesy. They're greasy. They're a drunk person's dream. This is a really sensible choice. You also don't havwe to go anywhere to get these necessarily. You can just throw some frozen ones in the oven/air fryer at home! They're easily accessible and oh-so good for the drunk munchies.

Chinese food.
Of course! This makes a ton of sense. With takeout Chinese restaurants open pretty late, of course people hit them up for some drunk snacking. The food is super super filling and very oily. It's a good hangover preventer. You may need an antacid in the morning depending upon how much you eat, though.

Pierogies.
Now this is a huge surprise. But like with any list, we as Philadelphians have to remember that there is more to Pennsylvania than our area. Apparently they're doing some crazy things west of us. Like eating pierogies as drunk food. I would think pizza, but that's fine. Honestly, it's not a bad choice. Oily, filling, and super yummy.
