In the never-ending discussion about pizza toppings, Pete Davidson and his mother Amy have chimed in. The Saturday Night Live veteran responds to what seems to be fan mail about the New York City food staple in an advertisement for Smartwater. The 29-year-old comedian has strong opinions about what belongs on pizza and what doesn’t, just like everyone else.
“Dear Pete, we’re aware that you’re from New York. His mother reads from a notecard, “What are the best pizza toppings to elevate my pizza?”. The Bodies Bodies Bodies star responds, “Pepperoni, sausage, pineapple, and ham are some of the best toppings to elevate your pizza. “I’ve seen people lose their minds and sling a fried egg on there. That’s really quite good. Avocado is added to the dish. You sick bastards don’t add anchovies and mushrooms. “.
The topic of what goes on a pizza is long-standing. According to Mashed, topping pizza with pineapple, spinach, barbecue sauce, eggs, and anchovies causes controversy.
Davidson has previously spoken out about pizza in the past. In an interview with Sean Evans for 2020 Hot Ones, Davidson discussed the best places to eat pizza in New York City, including his home borough of Staten Island. There isn’t a pizza shop in New York that comes close to LandB’s [in Brooklyn], according to Davidson. “Staten Island has the best pizza overall. Like, you’re probably fine if you can go to any pizza place over there. “.
The comedian famously celebrated pizza in his hotel room with his ex-girlfriend Kim Kardashian as they said goodbye to the Met Gala. In reference to how she prepared for the Met Gala, Kardashian said, “You guys, I haven’t had carbs or sugar in almost a month. Undoubtedly three weeks. I’m so excited about this pizza.
In a different Smartwater ad, Davidson describes himself as the “same old kid” from Staten Island who is “a little more elevated.”. As a chef serves him a grilled cheese sandwich that has truffles on top, he continues, “I still hang out with my mom.”.
