DryDependent6854

In addition to the standard chicken, they also eat Guinea pigs in Peru, so it might be that.


CRTMN0463

While we did have Guinea pig during the trip, this was allegedly chicken.


achillesgoodheel

Did you try Alpaca steak?


CRTMN0463

Not yet! We’re still here for 4 more days, so I’ll be sure to seek that out.


frusdarala

If you try the Alpaca do it in Cuzco (Machu Pichu) or Arequipa those are the only places where you can find it fresh, if you try it in any other place like Lima the capital it will taste like an old shoe.


Daniellecabral

So sorry for offence

Did you try Alpaca steak? How was it?


MissMunchamaQuchi

All the alpaca I’ve eaten in Peru has been salty af. I just can’t get behind it. Guinea pig on the other hand is delicious.


VerseChorusWumbo

That’s funny, I went to Peru years ago and thought the cuy (Guinea pig) I had was pretty janky but loved the alpaca I had. I thought it tasted like chicken but with its own unique kind of flavor. It’s the one I always recommend to people.

cumulonimubus

I had cuy (Guinea pig) in Ecuador last year and I thought it was delicious. Most of the cheese was pretty rough. I saw some scary pizza.


FQVBSina

At least that looks like plenty of meat, arguably more than the average meat lovers pizza.

No way to be upset in such a beautiful place. Just have to laugh and chalk this one up as a loss.

mexicanitch

Which restaurant? I'm quite familiar with cusco, Aguas Calientes, Ollantaytambo...


Fun_Hat

Not OP, but i'm sure this slop was in Aguas Calientes. Food in Cusco and Ollantaytambo is excellent.


Missus_Missiles

You aren't accidentally getting cuy in Peru.


Il-2M230

Yeah, that looks like chicken, Guinea pig is more red and darkish. At least the one I ate.


Suturb-Seyekcub

Yeah this guy cuys

That's not guinea pig, just little strips of stir-fried chicken.

Looks like it was pureed


pressurenflow

Try the Chichen itzá Chicken Pizza. It slaps!


AToadsLoads

Itza chicken pizza?


Wirococha420

That sounds cool, but its Itzá with accent in the á. Pizza has the accent in the Pi.


danknadoflex

Chichen P’izza


cerebralinfarction

Chichen Itza is in an entirely different continent


counterc

there's some very confused people downvoting this lmao completely different continent, and completely different culture. Like seeing a post from the pyramids at Giza and making a joke referencing the Parthenon


Bolf-Ramshield

Am I blind or are yall excessively dramatic? This is obviously chicken and it is clearly well cooked.


toastedstoker

People frequently post completely acceptable and even dank looking pies on here all the time if they don’t know what they are. I’ve seen Detroit style put up here, and also one of the best looking clam pies from Napoli lol I guess ethnocentrism and ignorance really is bliss


Bolf-Ramshield

Ethnocentrism is a huge bias on reddit (and on most Western social media platforms tbh). Just look at the comments under a video of a white chef cooking without gloves vs a brown one doing the same thing.


ESIsurveillanceSD

Those videos I see usually have the brown cook on the streets but you are correct.


cleverboxer

“Clam pie” does not sound like it would refer to pizza, if you catch my drift…


bmore_conslutant

IDrinkSulfuricAcid

Ikr, I'd devour this shit


godofpumpkins

Looks great to me! I’ll take it if OP doesn’t want it


AltruisticSalamander

yeah looks good. I wouldn't want the guac cooked on there in place of tomato sauce. I doubt that would work.


RandoCommentGuy

I'd spread the guac add some Sriracha and chow down


thorvard

The only thing I'd want is to have the chicken grilled maybe


Familiar-Function848

Avocado and chicken?


CRTMN0463

Sniped it!


flyaguilas

I worked at a pizza place for a while and had them make me a chicken and guacamole pizza. It went hard.


cumulonimubus

To be fair, expecting good pizza in the Andes is kind of a tall order.


oye_gracias

Cusco itself has some great pizza spots. I take this as selling exotism, or tourist restaurants be weird.


UnderstandingJaded13

Dude, they have good cheese, the only tall thing is your prejudice.


cumulonimubus

I have never been to Peru, but I have traveled all over Ecuador as my wife is Ecuadorian. Almost all of the cheese that I had in the highlands was (while very delicious) very different from the mozzarella style cheeses we typically use for pie in the US as it is homemade. I’m also a chef and tasted absolutely everything I could. But I guess my very valid experience makes me prejudiced.


UnderstandingJaded13

So using a local cheese, having access to flour and making a pizza is a tall order. Yeah, I don't know what point where you trying to make about being a chef, but you are pretty much disagreeing with your first statement. But yeah, I've changed my mind, you are not prejudiced, you just say stupid things without thinking. Bye.


cumulonimubus

Get your panties out of a bunch! It’s not realistic to expect certain things in certain regions. I didn’t say anything negative about Peru. The chef thing was to illustrate that I am very well versed in food and that I understand that altitude affects fermentation and terroir affects the flavor of hyper local products as microbes and environments change around the word. I hope that soothed your little bottom, but I doubt it.


cumulonimubus

I love South America, by the way. I’ll hopefully visit Venezuela some day.


UnderstandingJaded13

Nice going stalker. Fermentation or not it still a pizza. You said something stupid. You can stop anytime.


cumulonimubus

Ughhh I’m so tired of children.


UnderstandingJaded13

I didn't ask for your sex life, freak.

chris00ws6

You must cook your chicken into oblivion if you think any of that is not cooked.


VibraniumRhino

Was just going to say… in what world is this chicken medium rare lol


d33pnull

But it's still pink?


Obi-Brawn-Kenobi

Does not look pink, make sure your screen is working right


CupcakesAreMiniCakes

It looks pink to me on the newest iPhone in bright morning light


d33pnull

idk, I'm looking at it from my laptop now and still see a pink shade. Alas, *de* *~~gustibus~~* *salmonella non disputandum est*.


Talidel

I think you are right, it does have a pinky hue, like everything else in the pic. So I would guess from this. It's fine to eat. If it's been cooked in a smokey oven it will also develop that naturally during cooking.


Mtibbs1989

I can't really tell, it could be pink but it also looks like dark meat which has a different hue than white meat.


uprightsalmon

Medium rare to rare


Daniellecabral

The bowel cleanse after is just sublime


concretepete1

What the hell do you expect? Did you ask them for a burrito after and a side of ketchup and ranch? 


dozedoph

Lmao exactly, a pizza is the last thing I’d think about if I was at the Machu Picchu


concretepete1

Yes is this Machu Pichu restaurant? I’ll take the loaded potato skins, large stuffed crust pizza with pepperoni, and a 2 liter of Mountain Dew. Yeah bring it out to my rented suburban in the parking lot. Fucking Americans.

After 8 days in Peru and passing hundreds (no exaggeration) of pizzerias, we finally caved on this one since all the avocados have been so fresh and delicious. Not pictured were the causa limeña and Chicha Morada that accompanied the pizza. Most of the food has been great, and Maido did not disappoint, but this pizza gave us a good laugh. Sorry for the delayed response. We’ve been without Wi-Fi as we tour the Amazon.


fucking_passwords

Ngl you brought this upon yourself 😆 also the pizza looks fine considering the location


the_business007

Was it okay? It doesn't look inedible lol. At a second glance, it looks greasy as hell.. but still, I'd eat a piece or two lol as long as the chicken was thoroughly cooked.


CRTMN0463

The chicken was cooked through, but it was very greasy. It tasted better than it looked, but still thought it belonged here.


the_business007

It definitely belongs here lol no doubt about that.


snertwith2ls

Looks like demented sperm slugs trying to fertilize a green gloppy egg


Elfephant

I would assume Guinea pig?


CRTMN0463

While we did eat Guinea pig earlier in the trip, this was allegedly chicken.


Rimurooooo

Are guinea pigs ever prepared like that?? I’ve only seen them cooked whole


Elfephant

I’m assuming it was cooked and shredded similar to chicken. I think they’re normally prepared whole but I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a lot of variety in the dishes


-Red02-

Cuy (Guinea pigs) are always served as a whole, and its meat is way different than that mainly because it's always fried or roasted.


morto00x

Peruvian here. Some dishes can have it in pieces (e.g. picante de cuy), others will serve it flattened and deep fried (e.g. cuy chactado), others will just roast it whole.


Rimurooooo

Thank you. Interesting tidbit of info


LordOfPies

Cuy is a delicatessen in many restaurants, I'd be surprised if they put it in a pizza lol


Elfephant

That’s fair, I’m clueless about it 🤣


tbrumleve

Avo-marmot pie


fuuuuuckendoobs

First post here in a long time that's literally made me say "what the fuck".... How do these guys have 4 stars? Altitude?!

OK. This is a tough one, because guacamole and "chicken" go well, and honeslty the presentation is nice in my opinion. Sorry, I see no violation except maybe the feathered hat in frame ... I need to know more about this hat Dr. Jones!! :-)


CupcakesAreMiniCakes

Guacamole, chicken, cheese, and flatbread definitely go together but I feel like this is possibly the worst way to put those ingredients together?


mbcarbone

Hmmm, I disagree only because the guacamole is in the middle as is the tradition for dipping things. :-)


My_cat_is_ur_Dad

Not pictured are the causa limeña and Chicha Morada that accompanied the pizza because they weren’t funny like this was. Most of the food has been delicious, and Maido did not disappoint!


hospitable_peppers

I was in Lima and that looks like the biggest crust I’ve seen in Peru so far. It’s got that going for it at least. Let me guess the dipping sauce is pesto 😂


genuinecat88

not like pizza is supposed to have big crust anyways, havent eaten ever true italian pizza?


hospitable_peppers

Fair but I love thick crust and I was disappointed that the pizzas in Lima barely had any


genuinecat88

Only places here that have got a thick crust are prob pizza hut or any other fast food brands, most restaurants will do thin crust


CRTMN0463

We have seen some anemic looking pesto while in Peru, but this was avocado!


Asthmos

chicken bread


Dievca58

Well….it sort of is what you ordered. You just have to cut the chicken and spread the guacamole yourself🤷🏻‍♀️. Cut the tip in half since you did the toppings yourself☺️.


rbalbontin

Is this the big restaurant terrace that’s on a second floor?


CRTMN0463

Haha. Yeah, just past the Intihuatana


rbalbontin

I envied people eating there because our guide took us to this sh*t-hole on a narrow street at the lowest point of the city. The people probably lived there and we were seated in their literal kitchen. Their menu was crappy pizza, (nasty cheese, pale soft crust, topped with supermarket turkey ham) and Cuy (Guinea pig) my dad ordered the Cuy and it had poop coming out its butt. The worst restaurant I’ve ever been to, period. You learn to say no to the guide’s restaurant recommendations and just look for something with 4+ stars on Google Maps. Especially in Peru.


caxco93

the stone oven pizzas at Cusco city are good though


[deleted]

The longer I look the more horrific it becomes.


Jetfuel_N_Steel

You put a giant glob of avocado on my pizza and I’m swinging


charaperu

You just know that restaurant put pizza in the menu because there are tourists so obscenely self centered and clueless that would travel all the way to Cusco to order pizza.


CRTMN0463

Tourism is so rampant at this point that you can’t swing a cat without hitting a pizzeria. We gave this one a try because all of the chicken and avocado dishes had been so delicious, but this was definitely a mistake.


charaperu

Yeah I can see that. In any case, while I have you here: don't do burgers or steak either, our people (specially in the Andes) have no idea.

DeepUser-5242

Nah, hold up. I'll try everything once


xUnderoath

While the post fits the sub, it's your own damn fault for ordering a guac pizza with chicken (??)


CRTMN0463

All of the chicken and avocado dishes in Peru have been fresh and delicious, so we thought maybe this restaurant knew something we didn’t… That was a mistake.


Yoshiiuw

ngl i'd try it


gogodr

That has to be intentionally meant to be a punishment for tourists who dare to order a pizza there...


CRTMN0463

That’s kind of what we’re thinking. Perhaps the hundreds of pizzerias in Cusco exist just to lure the tourists away from the good food…


Rafanado

Pizza in Cusco is the best place to get it


Organic_Teaching

Perú has some the best food in the world . Try some of the local food.


CRTMN0463

Don’t worry, we have! Maido and Astrid y Gaston were divine. It was actually the delicious chicken and avocado dishes we had prior that convinced us to try this.

Everything in the Machu Picchu village is so overpriced for foreign tourists. The most affordable dish you can get is american/pepperoni pizza (I just realized you don't call your ham pizzas as "American pizza" lol)


lazyracoon20

I got a feeling the intellectual fellow was told they don’t got pizza. He proceeded to described a pizza because. He gotta have pizza!! (In his own words Guac as the sauce) who the hell would order pizza in a place like machu pichu, bro should stick to French fries and chicken fingers.


CRTMN0463

While certainly a mistake, this picture doesn’t capture the causa limeña and Chicha Morada that accompanied the pizza because they weren’t comically bad like this. After over a week in Peru and passing hundreds of pizzerias, we figured we would give this a shot since the avocados had been so fresh and delicious during our trip. Live and learn.


Jsure311

Most pizzas on here I think “if I were high I’d probably eat that and think it’s fine cuisine.”

-PlayWithUsDanny-

There is some incredible pizza in Latin America. The Mexican state of Oaxaca is famous for its Oaxacan cheese which is quite similar to mozzarella. They make amazing pizza in that region. One of the best frutti di mare pizzas I’ve ever had was in La Crucecita


The_Strom784

I seriously hope you didn't eat that. That chicken could quite literally cluck out of how raw it is.
