Not really. Maybe in the UK, but definitely not in the rest of Europe.

Nein? Wenn man hier eine Margherita bestellt bekommt man auch eine echte Margherita, nur mit Mozzarella, Tomatensauce und Basilikum. In was für Pizzerien gehst du denn bitte?

Definitely is in a lot of European countries. Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain, France... In fact, I've never seen it called anything else.

It is. Margherita is literally just cheese pizza. Here in Finland it is and other countries too.

Margarita is a certain type of cheese pizza, true.

You wouldn’t believe the amount of restaurants I see in the US that offer “margarita” and it’s literally just a cheese pizza. Or sometimes it will be a cheese pizza with DICED tomatoes on it. Maybe add some dried basil. Sometimes you can get actual sliced tomatoes added.

Not to say you can’t find a real traditional margarita here, it’s usually just at more upscale/specialty/expensive pizza restaurants.

I think you're the one who needs to look it up. Try looking at Swedish pizzeria menus, to start

By definition a margherita pizza is a traditional neopolitan pizza as originally made in Italy with the ingredients ( red tomato sauce, white mozzarella and fresh green basil) representing the Italian flag.

That is true for the traditional margherita - but for awareness, if you order a margherita in Italy you often will get it without basil. It isn’t a requirement. We honestly don’t care either-way.

Depending on where you are in the world, that's untrue. By definition, a goulash is a meaty stew, yet in the USA it's a pasta dish.

Is that wrong? No. Things are defined differently in different places.

Hell, by definition a pizza is a neapolitan style pizza. Yet other parts of Italy, and other parts of the world make it differently.

We are going to have to agree to disagree on this. Imo your definition of Goulash would prevail, as it was not created in the US.

There's nothing to agree or disagree on. It's a fact that dishes are are different in different places. That's just how it is.

No different from you going "the earth is flat, let's agree to disagree"

It's really not complicated, what you are arguing isn't a fact but rather an opinion. I think you are wrong so naturally I'm going to disagree.
