OK, now I understand why here in Italy when a pizza is very bad we call it "
good for Americans"!!!!!!!!!
Just kidding.........
Just an historical note.
The real Naples' pizza, the one I like most, once had no cheese on it. Just a very thin crust, a good tomato sauce with basil, extra-virgin olive oil, and anchovies (capers permitted, not mandatory).
When, in the late 1800s, the Queen was visiting Naples she demanded for pizza. But, given she hated anchovies, the famous pizzaiolo Brandi created a new kind of pizza.
He put buffalo's mozzarella, oregano, and gave it the Queen's name: Margherita.
Since then, when you ask for a pizza without specification, that's what you get.
Another historical note:
Yesterday I made a pizza for my girlfriend, and i put grilled aubergines and courgettes on it (with a bit of mozzarella, fresh tomato sauce, and oregano).
It was very good, despite I have an electric oven, instead of a wooden stove...
