Brooklyn Style Pizza?

At the risk of offending, I had pizza in Italy and it was pretty bad. Strangely enough, I've had better Italian food in the tri-state area than in Italy. Go figure.

Well, if I could refer to a passage from Jamie Oliver's "Italy" cookbook. In the section in which he writes about the pizza, he talks of visiting the place credited with creating the Neopolitan Pizza (or maybe it was the Margharita). He recounted that the pizza wasn't very good and that the service was awful, but what impressed him was the fact that they had an engraving in front of the restaurant to mark their acheivment, and he admired the fact they made such a hoop-la over the whole thing.

Indeed, I've been to Italian restaurants owned by genuine Italian's and had pizza that was only worth about a 7/10 on the Chris2112 "sock rocking" scale.

I fancy a Pizza now.

I’ve never sampled a pizza in Naples. With 12,000 pizzerias in the city, it’s a shame that the one Mr. Oliver visited was so disappointing.

The commercial got me, so I ordered one from Domino's a few weeks ago. It's thin, and it will keep you alive for another few days. That's what it has in common with good NY style pizza, which is the best pizza possible if you get it with pepperoni, sausauge, and black olives and....Uh! This is so CONTROVERSIAL!

Indeed, though I get the impression that he felt obliged to eat there with his students as a matter of self-education and experience. I think the fact that the meal was a disappoinment helps to illustrate his point though: that the Italians love food and even if they're not that great at cooking they'll still make a deal out of it by way of pride.
