Like many
people, I love pizza! ...Hi John!,<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Like many<br />people, I love pizza! In particular, as someone who has grown up around<br />various Italian restaurants/pizzerias (owned by various family members) and<br />been to Italy a few times, I have developed an appreciation for this Italian<br />classic. I remember learning in Italian class that the<br />"Margherita" pizza is called so because a chef in Naples named it<br />after the Queen of Italy at the time. This traditional Italian pizza is<br />topped with tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and basil (red, white and green) to<br />represent the Italian flag. Pizza in Italy today varies depending on the<br />region and particular place though. From my experience, the pizza in<br />Rome is amazing! There's both Roman style pizza (generally thinner and<br />crisper) and Neapolitan style (very thick and softer). I've<br />heard the actual Neapolitan pizza in Naples is great as well, but<br />I've never been there to say for myself. I've also noticed that pizza in<br />Italy is either 1.) very simple (yet amazing) with just sauce/tomatoes, cheese,<br />and oregano or 2.) you are given a huge list of a million different kinds<br />of pizza and toppings (including a lot of different things you<br />wouldn't usually see in the U.S. like potatoes). For example, one of my<br />favorite is the "Quattro Stagioni" or "Four Seasons" pizza,<br />which is divided into four parts for each season and contains mozzarella,<br />tomato, mushrooms, ham, artichokes, olives, and olive oil. <br /><br /> In<br />my opinion, no matter where you go, pizza in Italy (or any food really) is<br />different (and a little better!) tasting than pizza in the U.S. I'm<br />pretty sure it has something to do with both the fresh ingredients made/grown<br />there and the water. But for those of us who live elsewhere, since we<br />can't usually just jump on a plane to Italy, I'd recommend eating pizza at<br />a smaller, "actual" Italian restaurant/pizzeria that makes<br />homemade pizza. (Chain restaurant and frozen pizza horrifies me, no offence to<br />anyone that likes it; I'm picky when it comes to Italian food.) :) <br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Wow, I didn't know I had<br />that much to say about that! Lol!, I'm going to stop now. Hope that was<br />helpful! ♥ <a href="http://www.principessagabriella.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Principessa<br />Gabriella</a> John B.
