When it comes to pizza simplicity is the key
From the alps in the far north to the boot heel in the deep south, Italy is ripe with great pizzerias where you will marvel at the simple but delicious pizza. The crust is thin, the sauce is just pure tomatoes, and the cheese is gooey and used sparingly. Grilled vegetables, mushrooms, and prosciuto are common toppings but for purists the pizza margherita is king. Tomatoes (Pomodori), Mozarella di bufala or regular "fior di latte" mozzarella, and some fresh basil and you have the most basic and delicious pizza. The simplicity allows you to really taste the fundumental ingredients with nothing to interfere with the true flavors of pizza.What I love about pizza in Italy is that it is thin and light enough for one person to eat the whole thing.
