A 2024 viral post threw shade at the Brits for what they would consider to be pizza. The odd thing about the post by New Yorker Carl Marks was that the image was clearly a pizza. An Italian pizza, at that.

It drew enough attention to be given a Community Note.
The Community Note wasn’t the only clapback.
