what makes one a pizza expert, and what's a "real pizza" š¤
Discussion
if you like the flavor and the ingredients are high quality, it's a real pizza for me!
Like the pizza from my little oven š¤
Iāve eaten pizza for over 30 years, 1/3rd of which was in the pizza capital of the world. Iāve tried every kind of pizza Iāve ever come across, and across the price spectrum. And while I wouldnāt claim to be the foremost pizza expert of the world, Iāve put in my 10,000 hours of pizza time to claim expert status at minimum. Iāve eaten pizzas from around the world, and would put my pizza eating credentials up against anyone.
What makes something a āreal pizzaā is a combination of things. From cooking methodology, to dough creation, crust type to topping selection. At some points a āpizzaā becomes a flat bread, a pie, a casserole, a stromboli or a calzone.
Pizza is a defined as food created with a flat base of leavened dough, typically wheat, topped with a sauce, which is then topped with other various ingredients of which most typically includes cheese.
