Okay - well didn’t know that it used to be different. But yeah nice wood oven Napoli pizza is so easy to find in Taiwan now. Even got good pizza on some night markets (yeah you have to tell them what to put on, and what not. But I don’t mind them selling some funky pizza if they also make you a good authentic one).
Even in Italy in many cities it’s harder to get good pizza. Of course it cannot compare even close to Napoli - but don’t know any place that can. I do like authentic Roman or Napoli style pizza, not something middle ground which is way too common even in Italy (90% of pizzeria in Italy are NOT great, 50% outright bad IMHO).
And I really tend to disagree about food in mainland China. Yeah western food is largely awful, but loads of great food if you like various chinese cuisines. Similarities concerning food and culture for me between Taiwan and Mainland aren’t too big - except for any kind of non local food (exception Shanghai). Since 2020 foreigners can use Alipay in China too. So actually paying for anything I feel is now better than Taiwan where you need cash nearly everywhere not fancy.
