Mr. Pizza was all over LA for awhile. I loved their Potato Gold pizza. They pulled out of America, but the operator of the KTown franchise bought out the location and now has two Korea Town Pizza Company restaurants which have a similar menu. So if you want this Pizza in the US, come to LA!

When I first had pizza in Korea (it was Dominos pizza but radically different than in the US), I said this isn't pizza. The pizza there tend to be sweeter and savory without much saltiness. And they definitely use less cheese, making it less greasy. It was more comparable to a fancy pastry than a pizza. With that said, it was f'ing tasty.

Honestly, this is just part of what happens as a dish becomes popular in a place different from its origin. "Italian" food in America is not the same as Italian in Italy. Korean food has adopted foods from its neighbors as well, and adapted them for the Korean palate (e.g., jjajangmyeon, bulgogi, Korean fried chicken). Dishes evolve over time; there is no purity in cuisine.

In east asia, particularly Japan and Korea; potatoes, corn, mayo, shrimp have been pretty regular toppings for fast food pizza chains like pizza hut - as well as the aforementioned toppings on the video. I'd eat corn, ham, potato mayo pizza with my family back when I lived in Japan 16 or so years ago. Its surprisingly good.

Pizza in South Korea is expensive and it’s ridiculous the size is crazy small a medium looks small and a large looks like a medium as a Korean American I recommend going to Costco Korea the pizza are actually American size large and cheap

@GM-tw4el

Ай бұрын

You can get potato pizza in Italy. Very common in Rome. Doesn't usually have sauce or cheese, but sometimes can have a white sauce instead of tomato.

What is pizza? I think there are 4 things that are required for a pizza, for it even to qualify AS a pizza. Dough, sauce, cheese and it is tossed or stretched to size. Some would say only tomato sauce, but alfredo is popular as a white pizza, yet I digress. I think a real pizza always has wheat dough stretched to size, tomato sauce, and mozzarella cheese. If those 3 things aren't on the pie, it's not really pizza, it's something else. Like deep dish. It isn't really pizza, it's a pizza flavored casserole.

@slXD100

and what if you have a thin crust and just use swiss cheese instead of say mozzarella? i think pizza should be made around the basic foundations, but pretty much everything outside of naples wouldn't be considered proper pizza for the people of naples. that being said, there should be some consistency at least when it comes to the dough, the rest is style and preference
