Explanation: In Norway pizzas are all thick crust, like a pan pizza, but still made in a pizza oven not a regular one, they have recently started serving 'Thin crust pizza' or 'Italian-Style pizza' as they call it, but they differentiate by calling thick crust "Traditional" and thin crust "Italian-style".

Don't ask me why, i'm Swedish.

Pizza was good though.

I used to travel to Norway every summer growing up (we lived overseas) and I always would rave to my friends at home about how good Norwegian pizza was. They always looked me if I was the craziest person in the world. Thanks for sharing the photo. Now Iā€™m hungry. gif

The pizza in Norway (at least the two places where I have eaten) is top notch. And the amount of frozen pizza and other their grocery stores are mind blowing. And in the Norwegian detective story I read, the main character ate pizza all the time. Norwegians loves their pizza!

To me, there are two critical elements to pizza; first, toppings have to balance toward salty, that why pepperoni works well. Second, all toppings have to be well cooked and HOT! This doesnā€™t looked well cooked and hot. But they ingredients look good.

What's on it? I mean I see red and green paprika, red onions, and maybe champignons? The white stuff may be...sour cream? And anchiovis?

As someone from USA, if I ordered a supreme pizza (very common type of pizza here), I would expect something exactly like this minus the white sauce.

This is what as a Norwegian we would just call "American" pizza. For a "traditional Norwegian" pizza it would be a homemade square one cooked in the regular oven with thick bottom, tomato sauce, minced meat, and generous cheese on top. It was intended to feed a family with very simple tastes and to be fairly cheap to make.

While American style pizza is popular, Italian style is also very popular in urban areas.

PS the white sauce is what we call "rĆømmedressing", which is a sourcream based sauce with garlic and some other spices. It's eaten on both types except not really served at fancier Italian restaurants.

Pretty sure it is well cooked and hot. I can't see how you'd cook the beef better without just burning it.
The cheese type is different from the US though so that may be why it looks less cooked. Also there is a lot of watery vegetables on it that will be soft when cooked and make it look "less cooked".
