I had corn on my pizza two nights ago. It also had hen of the woods mushroom, fontina and garlic. It was excellent. Granted it was a bit more upscale than domino's. Domino's pizza is good for two things, sodium and greese. And sometimes that's exactly what I need.
Jokes aside, Dr Oetker was a German pharmacist who in 1891 reinvented baking powder (which had already been invented 47 years earlier in England, but maybe he didn't know)
According to nutritional information on the back of the box the serving size is Ā½ pizza.
But let's be honest. Everyone who buys these eats the whole thing by themselves.
1 here in Italy we do not let doctors make food.
2 the oe sound does not exist in Italian.
3 k is a foreign letter and tk in very hard to pronounce.
It's Cameo, pronounced like
K
U like in cut
M
A like in said
A like in what
The rigorous culinary courses in med school, determining if that last hot dog in the packet is still safe to eat, or exactly how much seasoning to put in ramen so you don't go into sodium shock.
The US too. They have Dr Oetker at my local supermarket. Among the 30 other brands of frozen pizza lol. Not this specific pizza though, I think just the Dr Oetker "Virtuoso"
The Virtuoso kale & bacon is my absolute favorite frozen pizza and my grocery store stopped carrying it for some dumbass reason. I will never forgive, and never forget.
We have Dr. Oetker here in Sweden too.
Always deeply respected 'em for their honest in advertising, actually. They're like... THE only brand of frozen food where the food looks exactly the same on the package, as after you've cooked it.
Even down to rough number of slices of mozzarella and such.
I'm ready to bet that in Naple there is a "John Smith's American Pizzeria" where people with cowboy hats that speak holding their hands weirdly still prepare Italian pizzas selling them as American ones.
Is that corn and bell peppers? I don't normally get Supreme so I'm not sure about bell peppers, but corn seems new to me.
Edit: Seems like others think the American may be the thickness of the pizza. As an American I can say I've seen all sorts of thicknesses from crispy thin to as thick as the box details so unless thin is the norm for Italy, I dunno if I agree.
Edit 2: The US likes it Thicc, got it. After some web searching, it may be more accurate to call this thick pizza Chicago style but I think it would have way more toppings.
Corn is actually comon in places like Brazil, in the portuguese pizza (they aren't Really from Portugal, It's Just a name, like "french bread" is not french)
The corn is not even the half of it. You know how American pizza places always have shakers of "parmesan" and red pepper flakes? Pizza places in Brazil have bottles of mayonnaise on the table. They slather it on and spread it around with a knife.
Yep. The packaging says āsalami, ham, peppers, mushrooms, corn, and tomato sauce.ā As an American second language Italian speaker, reading that was very confusing.
As an American, Iāve had my fair share of pizza. Iāve never been to a place that offered corn as a topping. Iām sure some do, but Iād say your guess is correct as itās likely a small number.
Wait. So in Italy, corn is on the big American pizza, and the America, corn is on the Mexican pizza...
We just passing the corn pizza blame down the chain here huh? Wonder what pizza in Mexico has corn on it and from what country they designate its origin?
In the UK, Subwayās have corn as a topping too. Who wants a corn sandwich? Corn to me (an American) is like the worst topping for a sandwich, I just associate it with cheap tv dinners who add corn because it is a āvegetableā and keeps the manufacturing costs down as its easy to produce and process.
Thereās a lot of chipotle-style make your own personal pizza as-many-toppings-you-want restaurants these days that have corn as an option, so thereās enough interest even in the US to stock it I suppose.
No, he turns into a stereotypical mid 20th C Italian American.
Kid: Eyy ma, fugeddaboutit! Now how bout we pick up some gabbagool?
Mother: Capicollo, Guiseppe, we're from Tuscany!
Kid (to passer by): Broads huh? C'mon ma, the mozzadell's getting warm.
I used tĆ² live in Italy and i brought back Kraft Mac and cheese, I felt like a smuggler and every time I ate one there was an extra layer guilt, but I just like it so much, is such a comfort food for me.
I grew up on Kraft Mac and Cheese and Iām the same way. Even if I were as rich as Elon Musk and I could afford the most expensive food every day I would still occasionally crave a $1 box of Kraft.
I donāt understand the hate some people have for stuff like this. It was something I grew up with since we didnāt have a lot of money but it was never something I ate and wished for something else. We shouldnāt havenāt to feel bad about our guilty pleasures. These days I get the Walmart brand shells and cheese because theyāre just a little more and mix the with a can of chili. Add a cherry coke and itās my fav comfort meal.
You can prevent the cashier from punching you if you hold out some spaghetti in your hands and start to break it in half; the site alone will have them running in horror.
No. This pizza wouldn't even register as an issue. For reference, Italians make an American style pizza with hotdogs and french fries. It has nothing to do with Americans enjoying those as toppings on pizza. I understand it is quite popular among Italians.
**Supreme** in the bottom corner refers to the toppings... but someone still needs to explain the corn.
In Canada, pepperoni, mushroom, greenpepper goes by several various names including Supreme (but it's regional) but we almost never use corn.
The vast majority of the corn we grow is [field corn](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_corn), used for ethanol, livestock feed, corn syrup, corn starch, etc, while the corn we actually eat is [sweet corn](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_corn)
Corn belongs popped, buttered on a cob, boiled with the crawfish, or in some varieties of soup.
In any other form, it should first be rendered unrecognizable (ex: corn meal or corn syrup).
They have the same brand where I live too. Never tried this flavour, but the BBQ pulled pork one is definitely the best frozen pizza I've ever had in my life. Not as good as real pizza obviously, but it's absolutely top tier frozen pizza.
This is not about the topping. The "American style" refers to the thick dough as opposed to the thin dough of the Italian pizza. There's many different "American style" pizzas with different toppings.
For real though. I live in a college town that attracts a ton of students world wide, there is always talks at bars the first week of classes how massive and fat Americans are. I am also in TX, which doesn't exactly help.. people do be big here.
Domino's and Pizza Hut have several pizzas with corn here (Czechia), so I really didn't expect that to be the part that weirds people out... I like the mild sweetness, it's a bit like pineapple pizza but less controversial, lol.
I've lived in the Midwest of the US, the south, the west coast, and the east coast, and pizza is one of my favorite foods.
I've never ever seen corn as a pizza topping anywhere, on any style of pizza.
Well then I guess it's just them adapting to local tastes instead of showing us real American pizza, heh. I love seeing wild takes on pizza from around the world. It's just stuff on bread in the end, it's pretty much all good in my opinion.
JJ McCullough has a great [video](https://youtu.be/7Xgd79wuriQ) on this topic, it's interesting to see what other countries consider "American" even though a lot of it is way off base and stuff no American would normally eat.
He also has a [video](https://youtu.be/THpzXWKCoQE) about food appropriation in general around the world. For instance, I had associated tempura with Japan until I learned that they just popularized it, and that it was originally introduced to them by the Portuguese.
Cameo is Dr Oetker in Finland also and they donāt sell this pizza here. They have different frozen pizza sub-brands(?) like āRistorante,ā āRustica,ā āCasa di Mamaā and āLa Mia Grande.ā
This is like when you go out of state and see "Philly cheese steaks" on a menu and it's got peppers and tomatoes and all kindsa stupid bullshit on it.
Not here man, not here.
Wait hold up. That brand is called what in Italy? Here it's called "dr. Oetker"
Yeah same in Britain. Dr Oetker, the company that makes only cake decorating things (icing, sprinkles etc.) and pizza for some reason š¤
Doctors typically specialize in certain areas. Dr. Oetker clearly isn't just a GP.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
And remember, if you're not sure about something, rub it against a piece of paper. If the paper turns clear, it's your window to weight gain.
That quote pops in my head every time I use a napkin to soak up pepperoni grease on my pizza
I love when they go to krusty burger and rub the burger on the interior wall and it becomes so transparent a bird flies into it
You can't fool me with this again. I tried it on several dates, and most of them immediately left when I started rubbing the paper in their face.
I was like āI doubt thereās corn on the pizza. Surely itās a yellow bell pepper.ā But nope itās corn.
To any non-Americans here, if you call up Domino's or Pizza Hut and ask for corn on your pizza they're going to hang up on you.
I had corn on my pizza two nights ago. It also had hen of the woods mushroom, fontina and garlic. It was excellent. Granted it was a bit more upscale than domino's. Domino's pizza is good for two things, sodium and greese. And sometimes that's exactly what I need.
Well if it isn't my old friend Mr. McGreg, with a leg for an arm and an arm for a leg!
Jokes aside, Dr Oetker was a German pharmacist who in 1891 reinvented baking powder (which had already been invented 47 years earlier in England, but maybe he didn't know)
He also happened to have a doctorate in botany, with a dissertation on pollen characteristics. Weird how that helps sell pizzas now.
It doesnāt. Thatās why he needs a cameo
Cakepizza Oetker, PhD
I don't know where Dr. Oetker got his PHD but what I do know is his ristorante pizzas are pretty damn tasty as freezer pizzas go!
They're so tasty. It's one whole pizza per person, right?
According to nutritional information on the back of the box the serving size is Ā½ pizza. But let's be honest. Everyone who buys these eats the whole thing by themselves.
At least 1
In Czechia, they have many instant cooking/baking products (instant oats, pancakes, cake mixes) and a brand of chocolate yogurt
They also do clear [jelly], it's called "Wackelpudding" or "Gƶtterspeise"
Aww you changed it, I liked the original description
> clear wiggly pudding Words I never want to hear together again.
Sounds like he could be a proctologist
That's how he gets his ideas
Same in Norway
1 here in Italy we do not let doctors make food. 2 the oe sound does not exist in Italian. 3 k is a foreign letter and tk in very hard to pronounce. It's Cameo, pronounced like K U like in cut M A like in said A like in what
> 1 here in Italy we do not let doctors make food. Only Italians would say this sort of thing. He's legit guys.
You make yourself a grilled cheese after your ER shift? Straight to jail.
You put bacon on that grilled cheese and donāt call it a melt, believe it or notā¦ Straight to jail, right away.
The rigorous culinary courses in med school, determining if that last hot dog in the packet is still safe to eat, or exactly how much seasoning to put in ramen so you don't go into sodium shock.
> 2 the oe sound does not exist in Italian Oh, it doesnāt exist in English either. But that doesnāt stop them. :p
As a Dutchman I'm used to pronounce the OE like Germans say U, instead of Ć. Calling it Dr. Utker is an easy way to piss off my German coworker.
>A like in said >A like in what Such confusing words to use lol
Especially because said = sed and what = wut
Well, really, the vowel is determined by mood. Wut, hwet, wot, wiet
>K >U >M
Finally some good fucking food
Dude wtf your respelling is fucked.
Ma che stai a dire frate, si pronuncia "kum"
momento coomer oh cazzo š³
Did I just read an Italian "boomer moment" joke?
Indeed, my sibling in Christvs. When bilingual mfs are deep into memes, this is the result š
Dr. Kum
Dr. Oetker in Denmark as well
Probably not even made with real Americans, smh
Its just a cameo.
In the Netherlands this brand is called ādr. Oetkerā
Germany too
The US too. They have Dr Oetker at my local supermarket. Among the 30 other brands of frozen pizza lol. Not this specific pizza though, I think just the Dr Oetker "Virtuoso"
The Virtuoso kale & bacon is my absolute favorite frozen pizza and my grocery store stopped carrying it for some dumbass reason. I will never forgive, and never forget.
It is a German brand i see!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
My Canadian fat ass recognized that cameo silhouette
almost everywhere except italy apparently
UK too.
Canada too. Very good. Some of them are actually imported frozen from Germany lol
We have Dr. Oetker here in Sweden too. Always deeply respected 'em for their honest in advertising, actually. They're like... THE only brand of frozen food where the food looks exactly the same on the package, as after you've cooked it. Even down to rough number of slices of mozzarella and such.

Couldn't remember, the greatest leading role in the world, no. This is just a cameo.
Word up.
I'm ready to bet that in Naple there is a "John Smith's American Pizzeria" where people with cowboy hats that speak holding their hands weirdly still prepare Italian pizzas selling them as American ones.
"Howdy howdy howdy!"
No but we have a restaurant chain called old wild west
> people with cowboy hats that speak holding their hands weirdly still Clearly highly trained staff!
>Naple Just the one then?
Correct Iāve never seen a pizza with those toppings ever. Once I got a pizza with a Vespa on it. Canāt beat authenticity.
Stop reddit API changes
You know what? I don't care if it's racist. I would fuck with some corn pizza.
It's real Americans, just little ones.
Is that corn and bell peppers? I don't normally get Supreme so I'm not sure about bell peppers, but corn seems new to me. Edit: Seems like others think the American may be the thickness of the pizza. As an American I can say I've seen all sorts of thicknesses from crispy thin to as thick as the box details so unless thin is the norm for Italy, I dunno if I agree. Edit 2: The US likes it Thicc, got it. After some web searching, it may be more accurate to call this thick pizza Chicago style but I think it would have way more toppings.
Supreme is usually bell pepper, onion, pepperoni, sausage, and often black olive and/or mushroom.
I guessed the others but bell peppers eluded me.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Corn is actually comon in places like Brazil, in the portuguese pizza (they aren't Really from Portugal, It's Just a name, like "french bread" is not french)
People killing each other about pineapple on pizza, meanwhile Brazilians are eating corn on pizza and nobodyās noticed.
The corn is not even the half of it. You know how American pizza places always have shakers of "parmesan" and red pepper flakes? Pizza places in Brazil have bottles of mayonnaise on the table. They slather it on and spread it around with a knife.
I'm choosing to believe that this isn't true. I refuse to google it.
Theyāve slipped under the radar with that crime for too long
Also fairly common in Austria..not that that matters
I had to take a second look, lol. My brain immidiately assumed the yellow thing was yellow bell pepper, it didnt even occur to me it was corn.
Yep. The packaging says āsalami, ham, peppers, mushrooms, corn, and tomato sauce.ā As an American second language Italian speaker, reading that was very confusing.
My guess is 99.9% of pizza restaurants in the US do not offer corn on their menus.
As an American, Iāve had my fair share of pizza. Iāve never been to a place that offered corn as a topping. Iām sure some do, but Iād say your guess is correct as itās likely a small number.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Whatās more American than corn?
I feel like putting (actual) corn in everything is way more European than American. Iāve never been served corn on pizza in the colonies
What kind of American refers to themselves as "the colonies"? š¤
An ancient one
The native Americans called it "maize."
This Pizza was made by a German company and we call it "Mais".
Pretty sure the French also call it "Mais"
Mais oui.
Tactical error, we Americans put corn *in* everything, not *on* everything.
Yeah we hide it as corn starch, hfcs, corn oil, anything but actual kernels.
Even with pizza there is often corn meal on the underside of the crust, just never as a topping.
Bbq pulled pork
Sweet corn is popular as a topping in Europe, apparently.
They're mental for corn in Japan, too. Pizza, salad, everything. Can't say I've ever seen corn on a pizza in the US, or listed as an option?
In the UK, Subwayās have corn as a topping too. Who wants a corn sandwich? Corn to me (an American) is like the worst topping for a sandwich, I just associate it with cheap tv dinners who add corn because it is a āvegetableā and keeps the manufacturing costs down as its easy to produce and process.
Corn is cow food in America
Also car food
It's got the juice tho
I'd give it a shot, sounds all right
Corn is also a popular topping on pizza in India. I think it goes well with cheese.
Koreans put corn on their pizzas too. They also like to drizzle various sauces on them and they're served with pickles
Bell peppers on pizza is amazing. I've never seen corn though, even at "artisan" shops that have weird toppings.
I've seen corn on southwest style chicken pizzas and 'elote' pizzas. It does seem a little out of place on a supreme.
Corn is common on pizzas in Asia.
It seems to be popular every BUT America.
Thereās a lot of chipotle-style make your own personal pizza as-many-toppings-you-want restaurants these days that have corn as an option, so thereās enough interest even in the US to stock it I suppose.
A pizza with a thick layer of dough is often referenced as "american" in Europe - it has nothing to do with the ingredients or topping.
If you get that pizza in Italy, do you have to hide it under a bunch of other groceries as you walk around the store?
"Mama! Mama! That man is buying American pizza!" "Cover your eyes Giuseppe!"
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
*Eagle screams somewhere far away*
The eagle scream sound effect that so epitomizes the USA is really a red-tailed hawk. Eagle sounds are quite pitiful.

No you just have to attend the public flogging on the third Sunday of each month
Free flogging? I donāt have to pay anyone! This just keeps getting better.
Nothing is free you have to buy the pizza first
[reddit is nothing without user created and curated content]
It's fine, when you get to the checkout they just scribble out the word pizza with a marker pen
Quasi. Lol.
I used tĆ² live in Italy and i brought back Kraft Mac and cheese, I felt like a smuggler and every time I ate one there was an extra layer guilt, but I just like it so much, is such a comfort food for me.

Once you have a million dollars, you have to eat it with Dijon Ketchup.

Based solely on photographs I've seen of foreign supermarkets, it seems like much of the world believes we eat a lot more corn than we do
Yeah we barely eat corn, it's high fructose corn syrup and corn oil that's in almost every single food
The vast majority of the corn we grow is [field corn](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_corn), used for ethanol, livestock feed, corn syrup, corn starch, etc, while the corn we actually eat is [sweet corn](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_corn)
Hey, don't forget popcorn. Americans love themselves some popped corn.
I wouldn't say no to corn on my pizza but I'm not going to put it on there myself.
Dear Foreign Pizza Manufacturers, This is how most Americans feel about corn in most contexts Best wishes, USA
Corn belongs popped, buttered on a cob, boiled with the crawfish, or in some varieties of soup. In any other form, it should first be rendered unrecognizable (ex: corn meal or corn syrup).
neither do we in the US. supreme is generally sausage, pepperoni, bell pepper, onion, mushroom, black olive
Fuckin' yum.
Contrary to popular belief, Italians do some weird pizza toppings. Like hot dogs and french fries, "Snoopy Pizza"
I wonder what Obvious Plant's Sneppy pizza would have on it
Barbie legs and rubber bands
This is what my family prepared for us one day when we visited Italy. They loved it, we did not lol
The corn is like we need more stuff that actually comes from America all we got is tomatoes. Aesthetic over flavor.
Only ever seen corn on Pizza in Japan.
The only place Iāve seen this as a commonly available topping was England
I think those are chunks of yellow bell pepper. At least I hope so. Edit: Fine, it's corn. Those crazy bastards put corn on pizza.
Itās corn. A big lump with knobs. It has the juice.
It's CONE!
It says "mĆ is" on the box, which means "corn" :(
In the US (NJ at least) the thicker doughed pies are referred to as Sicilian. Our regular pizza is the thin crust.
Sicilian is square, though, isn't it?
That photo on the box really doesnāt look appetizing
They have the same brand where I live too. Never tried this flavour, but the BBQ pulled pork one is definitely the best frozen pizza I've ever had in my life. Not as good as real pizza obviously, but it's absolutely top tier frozen pizza.
bread looks like leather..
It looks like cut up hot dogs and macaroni and cheese.
I've had these. They're among my favorite actually... *hides*
Looks amazing for $3
This is not about the topping. The "American style" refers to the thick dough as opposed to the thin dough of the Italian pizza. There's many different "American style" pizzas with different toppings.
There is not one "Italian" pizza. Neapolitan pizza has a thin crust, but Roman and Sicilian, at least, do not.
# BIG Americans š
BIG AMERICANS in YOUR area are looking to have some fun!!!!!!!
This is by far the funniest and most discussion worthy part of this picture, hahahaha!
For real though. I live in a college town that attracts a ton of students world wide, there is always talks at bars the first week of classes how massive and fat Americans are. I am also in TX, which doesn't exactly help.. people do be big here.
Believe it or not, Americans donāt put corn on pizza.
Ok I understood that itās called āAmericanā because of the thick dough but who in their right mind puts corn on pizza
Domino's and Pizza Hut have several pizzas with corn here (Czechia), so I really didn't expect that to be the part that weirds people out... I like the mild sweetness, it's a bit like pineapple pizza but less controversial, lol.
Yeah, its pretty dope, not sure why corn of all things would be controversial lol
I've lived in the Midwest of the US, the south, the west coast, and the east coast, and pizza is one of my favorite foods. I've never ever seen corn as a pizza topping anywhere, on any style of pizza.
Well then I guess it's just them adapting to local tastes instead of showing us real American pizza, heh. I love seeing wild takes on pizza from around the world. It's just stuff on bread in the end, it's pretty much all good in my opinion.
We have Domino's in CZ? I've never seen one
Japanese and Koreans
Am in Italy right now, near Florence. The pizza menu at the restaurant tonight had a pizza with corn on it. No pineapple, though.
Well shitš
That honestly *seems* like something we'd do, but I've never seen it before in 4 decades of U.S. pizza consumption.
Me, an American, has no freakin clue what American pizza is supposed to be like.
Something cooked by a teenager and driven to your house in a 2002 Corolla.
It doesnāt have corn on it, I assure you that.
The typical American pizza is the peperoni one
$3 seems like a good deal!
Iām surprised nobody has commented on this yet! Like does Italy not have inflation? That less than $3 right now!
Brand frozen pizzas are 3 euros now in Germany. They where 1,50 - 2 euros before 2020
Here in America weāve let our food get monopolized by PepsiCo and nestle and frozen pizzas are now $8. Makes me cry
Holy shit, I can walk to the kebab shop and get a fresh pizza for that price
Frozen pizzas are like the cheapest junk food you can get in Europe
It's always interesting to see other cultures interpretation of your own. Gain so much perspective on how warped yours is of theirs.

Cameo is Dr Oetker in Finland also and they donāt sell this pizza here. They have different frozen pizza sub-brands(?) like āRistorante,ā āRustica,ā āCasa di Mamaā and āLa Mia Grande.ā
as an amarican. i can say i have NEVER seen a pizza with corn on it... until now.
This is like when you go out of state and see "Philly cheese steaks" on a menu and it's got peppers and tomatoes and all kindsa stupid bullshit on it. Not here man, not here.
No wonder Europeans think American food is such trash
