The Best Pizzas?

Italian cuisine is famous the world over, and yet it is far from understood. Pizza, for example, is a meal requested at restaurants across the planet, and yet there is scarcely anything like it outside Italian borders. Historically eaten by several cultures, including the Greeks and the Phoenicians, this culinary masterpiece drawn on flatbread was originally baked on a hot stone.

For me, there is nothing like a pizza fired in an oven in Italy. I love pizza con carcioffi (artichokes) e porcini (mushrooms). Pizza con mozzarella di buffalo (buffalo), o Pizza bianca con funghi, or how about pizza con pomodorini (tomatoes), cipolle (carmelized onions), e ricotta!
