Sounds god-awful.Independant family place near me does some great pizza one of which is their aubergine parmigiana one.
Last time I ordered, they couldn’t do that one, but said they had a ‘Mediterrainia’ with marinated aubergine and courgette and to try that.
Turns out the marinade was full of mint which completely overwhelmed anything else on there.
Disgusting. Owners are Italian too, you would think they know better.
Mint flavoured pizza ffs.
