Add a wikilink to California in "North American styles" 138.124.16.118 (talk) 12:14, 9 September 2025 (UTC)
Not done: Per MOS:OVERLINK a link to a prominent geographical location like California isn't necessary. Day Creature (talk) 14:13, 9 September 2025 (UTC)
Pizzaiolo redirects here...why?
If there is an article called Pizzaiolo (restaurant chain), why does Pizzaiolo redirect here? Joyous! Noise! 01:26, 11 December 2025 (UTC)
- Because the primary meaning of "pizzaiolo" is a pizza-maker, not the Canadian chain, which of course takes its name from the pizza-maker. See WP:REDIR for the full policy. I trust you noticed that there is a hatnote making the situation clear:
- "Pizzaiolo" redirects here. For the restaurant chain, see Pizzaiolo (restaurant chain). For other uses, see Pizza (disambiguation).

Pinsa (bread)
Can pinsa be removed from "see also"? It's different from pizza, it's like pizzetta and pizza (if pizzetta isn't on "see also" pinsa shouldn't be either). ~2025-44094-12 (talk) 19:06, 30 December 2025 (UTC)
- The "see also" section lists things that are related to the article in some way. Just because something is listed in "see also" doesn't mean that it's the same thing. As for pizzetta, I agree that it belongs in the "see also" section. Actually, I think it should be merged into this article (see below). --Macrakis (talk) 23:45, 30 December 2025 (UTC)
Merge pizzetta
I suggest that we merge pizzetta into pizza. Pizzetta is just a small pizza, and should be discussed in this article. --Macrakis (talk) 23:45, 30 December 2025 (UTC)
- I agree with this FlameOutsideOfStaff (talk) 18:42, 6 January 2026 (UTC)
- looks okay. id recommend it. Ayden11521 (talk) 16:32, 8 January 2026 (UTC)
- Makes sense, there are plenty of other pizza variants in the Pizza article. Ukalik0 (talk) 15:30, 4 February 2026 (UTC)
- Actually, upon further inspection, almost every single type of Pizza has its own article. I would actually not recommend this, as merging Pizzetta into Pizza would also require merging pretty much every other kind of Pizza mentioned in the article. Ukalik0 (talk) 15:36, 4 February 2026 (UTC)
- Ukalik0, whether articles are kept separate is decided on a case-by-case basis. It's fine to merge some but not all if some would be better covered in the main article and others would be better covered separately. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 21:50, 9 February 2026 (UTC)
- @Thebiguglyalien Sorry this has taken a bit. This is true, but pizzetta is in multiple lists in this article, of which all other entries are hyperlinked. Merging the article wouldn't make sense, as it's explained in detail in the article already, but has its own article just like every other pizza type. Ukalik0 (talk) 02:17, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

- NOOOOOOO!!!!! Egannator9000 (talk) 02:16, 15 February 2026 (UTC)
- I agree Sir Egannator ~2026-15395-36 (talk) 14:25, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
- thanks Egannator9000 (talk) 14:26, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
- I agree Sir Egannator ~2026-15395-36 (talk) 14:25, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
- Disagreed. ~2026-14295-15 (talk) 01:58, 6 March 2026 (UTC)
- Reminder that those taking a stance on the merger need to explain why the information is better conveyed as part of the pizza article or in a separate location. Simple assertions of yes or no are not going to be given as much weight when determining whether there's support to merge. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 17:54, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
- Ye i agree too cause its just a mini pizza so like why remove it from pizza article Ttekhopi257 (talk) 11:15, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

Is there a /r/pizzetta or something?! —Serial Number 54129 (wake up Fortuna) 12:38, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
- I suspect various people are seeing the tag on top of pizza, a topic a lot of people care about, and this is about how many edits you'd expect for someone to be knowledgeable enough to participate in a merge discussion but not to know wiki-jargon or the standard types of votes.
