針對此事，路透社在意大利進行了街頭采訪�？梢钥闯�，在披薩的發(fā)源地意大利，當(dāng)?shù)厝耸钦娴膶γ朗脚�薩無感，就好像“去英國做炸魚薯條”，而炸魚薯條正是英國人的拿手好菜。

Passenger A: There was no point in opening it. Maybe for tourists, but for an Italian, an American pizza chain doesn’t make sense. It’s like me going to England and making fish and chips.

路人甲：它家在意大利開根本沒意義。美式披薩連鎖店也許對游客來說行得通，但對一個意大利人來說毫無意義可言。就好像我去英國做炸魚薯條。

Passenger B: Who is Domino? Do you know him?

Reporter: Domino’s is an American chain of pizza restaurants and they wanted to take the American model of pizza here in Rome.

Passenger D: Here? In Rome? So they wanted to take the pizza to the place where it was invented?

路人乙：達美樂是誰?你認識他嗎?

記者：那是美國的披薩連鎖店，他們想把美式披薩帶來羅馬。

路人乙：在這?羅馬?所以他們是想把美式披薩帶來披薩的發(fā)源地嘍?

社交媒體上，許多用戶的反應(yīng)也是如此：美式披薩怎么可能取代正宗意式披薩在當(dāng)?shù)厝诵闹械牡匚荒?畢竟對意大利人來說，做披薩這一塊，還得看他們。

Moral of the story. Never try and sell ice to Eskimos.

這個故事告訴我們，永遠不要把冰塊賣給愛斯基摩人。

難道是菠蘿披薩的“鍋”?

事實上，意大利人對本國的美食文化傳統(tǒng)非常自信。作為披薩發(fā)源地，意大利人自然有權(quán)決定哪些食物可以放在披薩上。大多數(shù)意大利人堅持芝士、番茄、羅勒和意大利辣香腸等傳統(tǒng)配料，其實也沒什么可大驚小怪的。

As the birthplace of pizza, Italians has every right to decide what does or does not belong on pizza. It should come as no surprise that the majority of Italians tend to stick to the toppings that have been around since the beginning, such as cheese, tomatoes, basil, and pepperoni.

但在外人看來，他們捍衛(wèi)傳統(tǒng)風(fēng)味披薩的決心，和對菠蘿披薩的“恨意”，似乎有點過深了。一位制作意大利傳統(tǒng)那不勒斯披薩的專家在BBC采訪中表示，“披薩是神圣的，這方面可不能馬虎”“沒有!我從來沒吃過帶菠蘿的披薩”。
