the theory that there are xx “best pizzas” in the world
or the city
or the state/county/parish/region
or the country
or the continent . . . .
is absurd and utterly ridiculous on its face.

Number 7 (Civerinos) is decent but if you come to Edinburgh, I’d recommend Pizzeria 1926 which is really nice. It’s a local favourite.

Oh that Bagatelle Tulum “pizza” does not look good. I checked the menu ($46 USD, it appears) – fromage frais, oil oil, basil leaves and avocado? Put it on toast, and not an overworked, underbaked pizza dough. I’m living in the Cote d’Azur right now and the menu makes me want to swear in French. I see they have a branch on Pampelonne beach near St. Tropez during the season – I wonder what the menu is like there.
And as I noted, at some point the examples cease to be pizza – in the article, the Oaxacan example was like a tostada on a round wheat crust.
Is a tostada a pizza?
Is tlayuda a pizza?
Is a hot dog a sandwich?

a BHG take on Tlayuda
Perhaps, Bagatelle is renaming their posh Tlayuda ‘pizza’ so the tourists might eat it
A friend of a Chowhound friend introduced me to Tlayuda in Washington DC in October 2019. Good stuff. Related to Pizza, conceptually, at least. Often billed as Mexican Pizza, even though it’s its own Thing, with its own History.
You could have stopped at meaningless…
I guess, but I’m thinking the Bagatelle variant it is closer to avocado toast than tlayuda. They seem to make a few local ingredient fusions to their Med/Cote d’Azur centric menu. Only the avocado is in common.
In the original 18 in the Time Out article, the tlayuda is definitely the “hot dog” of the group (even if it possibly predates the pizza). If the subject was the best variants of a flat round dish with toppings from around the world, I think we could come up with a tastier list.

I was sold until the below slide. And then they had to ruin everything. Nachos are salad. NOT the other way around. This is important. If I’m eating a plate of nachos for dinner – as one does, from time to time – then clearly corn must be a vegetable, because I’m not a monster and I wouldn’t ever consume a meal solely comprised of fried non-vegetable stuff with cheese on top of it. I hope you’ll convey my utter displeasure to whomever created this and get this egregious error corrected, post haste.

Re The Cube Rule
At a recent baking contest, I heard from some certified Young People that all food falls into one of three categories: Soup, Salad, Sandwich.
Nachos = Salad, clearly. And Hot Dog = Sandwich.
Examples of soups include chili, pudding and spaghetti bolognese.
