lycopene

i think the mention of lycopene with possible anti-cancer effects should be removed. i don't understand how an anti-oxidant can prevent cancers unless indirectly through the prevention of cholesterol oxidation. i believe the quote is mistaken for oxygen free radical species, usually it requires very large nucleoside analogue or highly reactive species to interfere with DNA transcription. can someone explain or reference a reliable source in terms of this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.1.229.15 (talk • contribs) 20:21, 3 March 2009

Typo to fix, but editing blocked by the Wikinazis

“Bexiga/Bela Vista” has to be “Bexiga / Bela Vista”. The difference being, that the first one is expanded as “Bexiga Vista and Bela Vista”, while the second one is expanded as ““Bexiga and Bela Vista”. Which is what is meant. It’s a typical error, stemming from computers requiring the space character to be placed correctly, while spaces can be of variable width with handwriting. The rule here is, that every non-alphanumeric character, except the hyphen and the apostrophe, has at least one space between it and the alphanumeric character of the part that it is associated with. Or on both sides, if the strength in equal. But never none. (Except for above exceptions.)

That way, we solve the ambiguity.

Misspelling?

Lots of words are misspelled, does this really need to be part of the entry?

Picture

I know it's only a matter of opinion, but the picture selected to represent pizza at the top of the infobox is (to me) the single-most disgusting picture of a pizza I have ever beheld. More importantly, while (given the large variety of pizza styles out there) there may be no one picture that is representative of "pizza", this one appears most unrepresentative. When a pizza has toppings, those toppings are generally evenly distributed around the surface; this one has a plant draped across it in one small area and what looks like a ball of butter in the middle. I venture to say that few would find this to be representative of "pizza". 98.82.190.226 (talk) 13:56, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, sorry, but it doesn't matter if you think that pizza looks disgusting. It's pizza margherita, the most authentic Italian recipe for pizza, and that's basil and (real) mozzarella. Not that it matters, but I happen to think it looks delicious. AlexanderKaras (talk) 13:55, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

I think it is quite obvious that the original poster has a problem with that specific pizza not the variety. It doesn't matter if the variety is the most common, the individual pizza, if met with disgust from most members, should go and be replaced with a nicer pizza of the same variety. I personally do not find it that disgusting, though it is a bit burnt round the crust. I find the homemade one on a pizza pan to be more so...but it probably tastes good. 86.165.139.232 (talk) 13:02, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

I doubt this is the pizza most people have in mind when they come to this page on English Wikipedia. 174.119.254.63 (talk) 04:12, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Pizza is not an English dish either. I'm italian and that is TRUE pizza. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.30.193.8 (talk) 16:03, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

That "food" in the picture is truly gross looking. I wouldn't eat it for $100 dollars. Need a new picture. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.82.180.108 (talk) 15:57, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

The complaints seem to be coming from IPs who are only familiar with the pizza styles sold by chain restaurants such as Pizza Express and Pizza Hut. I think the picture is fine, but it might improve the article to additionally include a pic of a typical commercial pizza as sold by supermarkets in the UK, US and other countries. --Ef80 (talk) 10:02, 27 July 2011 (UTC) It is truly terrifying that Americans have never enjoyed the delights of a simple fresh Italian pizza and would call an authentic one 'disgusting' while American pizza is generally ruined by copious amounts of toppings, grease, processed meats/cheeses and unnecessary spices. A pizza like the one in the picture is something I've been craving for the past 15 years and no American pizza I've tried has yet to come close. Wikipedia is here to educate and not perpetuate the idea that substandard mutations are considered to be 'good eating'. Luckily there are some authentic pizzerias on the East Coast that have pleased even Italian tourists. ~~Bromide — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.142.234.137 (talk) 07:51, 27 September 2011 (UTC) Are you people seriously sitting on your computer discussing pizza?wow. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Historyfreak98 (talk • contribs) 03:47, 1 October 2011 (UTC) Bromide, take a break from trashing those awful Americans and get back to destroying the eurozone and EU, ok? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.230.88.45 (talk) 14:27, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Saskatchewan Pizza

can any one put in a point about pizza commonly found in Saskatchewan, Canada? It typically is a moderate-thick crust pizza whereby plain tomato sauce and sliced meats stacked high underneath a thick layer of cheese is commonplace. One would think they are eating an open faced sandwich in the form of a 'pizza'. Im thinking possibly a strictly Ukrainian/Polish take on pizza??

Japanese Pizza

American Pizza chains entered Japan in the 1970s (e.g. Shakey’s Pizza and Pizza Hut 1973, Domino’s pizza in 1985). The most popular Japanese pizza chain is Pizza La (http://www.pizza-la.co.jp/). The most popular pizza chain promoting Italian style artisanal pizza is Salvatore Cuomo (www.salvatore.jp). The Italian association Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana has an independent branch in Japan (http://www.verapizzanapoletana.jp/) Local types of pizza have been made, for instance mochi pizza (crust made with Japanese mochi cakes).

In 2010, a Japanese chef won an international Neapolitan pizza contest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.14.229.161 (talk) 02:42, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Gluten & Wheat Free Section

I think an addional section should be created about Gluten free and wheat free pizza. Or it could be added in the types of pizza. Thoughts?Meatsgains (talk) 19:27, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Pizza is now a vegetable.

According to a recently passed bill, pizza is now a vegetable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.177.44.113 (talk) 23:26, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

Pizza in america.

Evidently pizza is now considered a vegetable according to US government.
