Pizza in Shanghai is definitely different.
It's usually of the thin variety, and the cheese is (predictably) very mild. Tomato sauce is not a requirement. It's the toppings that are bizzarre, I still don't know what some of them are. Kiwi fruit can be nice.
Chinese takes on other western staples are similarly twisted. "Salad" and "cake" are, I have learned, relative terms. Bread here is sometimes eaten plain, right out of the bag. Mmmm, nothing like a nice, factory-fresh slice of dry, flavor-free food matter. "What, put butter on it? BUTTER? No thanks."
Oh, I miss really good, cheap, home-delivered pizza!
