So, Italian vibes again!
6 THINGS ABOUT PIZZA
1. pizza should be eaten woth your hands 😎
2. it’s common here to eat a whole pizza per person – I know, it’s hypercaloric, but once a while it’s not bad at all 🤷♀️ sometimes restaurants make gigante pizza, that is bigger than a normal one and made to be shared when you want to eat different toppings
3. pineapple doesn’t belong to pizza, and I have nothing to add about 🤣
4. there are several kind of pizza: napoletana, made in Naples, has a huge border; pizza fritta, also in Naples, is deep fried; pizza romana, from Rome, is thinner and crunchier; pinsa, also made in Rome, is more like a rectangular crunchy focaccia with topping. My favourite is the romana 😉
5. if you ask for a pepperoni pizza, you will recive a pizza topped with bell peppers (that here are called peperoni) 😅 the pizza you are seeking for is called pizza con salame (it’s not salami: it is salame!) or diavola, that is a pizza with spicy salame and sometimes peppers
6. personal opinion: altough they are pretty common, pizza with chips and wurstel and sweet pizza (like topped with nutella, kinder snacks and so on) are just GROSS 🤮
My favourite pizza is vegetariana, made with vegetables (usually courgettes, aubergines, bell peppers and mushrooms) and buffalo milk mozzarella. I also love quattro formaggi (made with at least 4 cheeses, including mozzarella and gorgonzola, with no tomato sauce) or porcini and tartufo (with porcini mushrooms and truffle sauce and sometimes flakes, again with no tomato sauce, I don’t like it very much on pizza 🤣 ). I prefer pizza romana or pinsa since I think Naples’ pizza is really too heavy, and also because I want to eat mostly the toppings and not a huge border 😅 but it’s just my personal taste!
