I won't discuss pizza with grits and hog jowls topping.

Domino's pizza? Nothing real in your town?

Yeah, yeah, I've read all the comments.

I have never tasted pizza made in the US that tastes like real
Italian Pizza. Never. I wish I could find some, in the US the pizzas
all have the wrong kind of crust, there is too much stuff on top of
the pizza and it is just all wrong.. sigh...

I have only had pizza a few times in the US and it was basically the same
as I get here in Canada. The worst pizza I ever had, other than frozen
pizza, was in Italy.

Don't tell him, Rosie. He's stalking you.

I had pizza in Venice, at one of the few restaurants an American can
find open during what they think of as "lunch time" when Italians are
doing, uh, other things.

It was good--less cheese, saucier, tasted fresher, thinner, lighter crust.
It wasn't anything to die for. (But the outdoor part of the restaurant,
on a terrace with grape vines overhead and a cat named Luna walking
on top of them was priceless.)

I'ver rarely met the pizza I don't like, except most frozen. I don't
eat much of it though because it is too filling.

Fennel seed is a common ingredient in Italian sausage. Some makers of the
stuff have the decency to used ground fennel seed instead of whole, and as
far as I am concerned, it could easily be left out.

I would be very disappointed in Italian sausage without the fennel seeds
and replaced with ground fennel. I like them!

"pork topping".. what a scary sounding ingredient. LOL

I actually don't like meat on my piz.. I like a thin crust with sliced
tomatoes (instead of a sauce if I can??) and good cheeses.

We have a superstition in trauma that forbids us to eat pizza at work.
When one has pizza the night goes to hell and back. I swear I've seen
the effects and it has always proven true. So it is a verbotten food.
Sometimes when we're ordering out (nightly, lol) we tempt the trauma
gods by ordering calzone instead...

Reminds me of the USDA white label po' folks giveaway food. Simple label:
"Pork". Dog food looked better. My roommate ate it every day for a month
after he lost his job.

I would bet most anything you are really talking about American-made
"Italian" sausages. In the totality of the rich Italian sausage world,
relatively few contain fennel, let alone anise.

Different strokes. I love fennel in Italian sausage.

Amazing. 5+ replies and not ONE person mentioned that
anise IS the 'licorice' flavor.

Fennel has that licorice thing going on, too.

Maybe where you live, Sheldon. You need to break out of your microcosm for
just a few minutes. In the south we can order sausage on pizza which is
most definitely *not* Italian sausage in any way, shape or form. It's bulk
breakfast sausage (aka Jimmy Dean's or Bryan country sausage). Italian
sausage is most definitely a separate topping choice. And they don't ask if
you want hot or sweet, either. It's always the sweet stuff.

Pineapple is revolting enough.

There's a reason. Italian sausage uses fennel, not anise. The OP
doesn't like the aniselike flavor of fennel seeds.
