Pizza nonsense
This article repeats the pizza nonsense of Neapolitan pizza ingredient restrictions that was also in the pizza article. The link was dead for me that is listed as a source, but the following link states explicitly that plain jane roma tomatoes are allowed. http://americas.pizzanapoletana.org/foto/allegati/AVPN_Disciplinare.pdf

Once again it appears the editors have not even bothered to read and comprehend their own sources.104.181.247.245 (talk) 19:11, 20 October 2018 (UTC)


 * "The following varieties of fresh tomatoes can be used: “S.Marzano dell’Agro Sarnese‐nocerino D.O.P”., “Pomodorini di Corbara (Corbarino)”, “Pomodorino del piennolo del Vesuvio” D.O.P.” (see attached appendices for suppliers and technical details). Canned Peeled tomatoes. The recommended tomato i s the “pomodoro pelato S.Marzano dell’Agro Sarnese‐Nocerino D.O.P.”. If peeled tomatoes are used, they should be strained, broken up and homogenized by hand. (see attached appendices for suppliers and technical details). All the peeled tomatoes that are genetically modified or altered to increase desired traits, resistance to herbicides or increased crop render are not accepted. The use of fresh or industrially prepared “Roma” tomatoes (“pomodoro lungo tipo Roma”) is allowed."
 * I will add it. But you know you can too right? Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 19:32, 20 October 2018 (UTC)

Are San Marzanos indeterminate?
According to the International Union for Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV), San Marzanos should be classified as indeterminate based on morphological features. https://www.upov.int/en/publications/tg-rom/tg044/tg_44_10.pdf

You certainly can find "determinate San Marzano seeds" on the internet, but the UPOV definition seems most appropriate here. Galetteking (talk) 18:20, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
