how do you like your pizza?

You can have your pineapple and chicken and capsicum and whatnot, and that’s all well and good, but I honestly believe there is no better pizza than a classic margherita. Call me Italian, but it doesn’t get much better than a light, crusty base, not too bitter Napoli sauce spread right around evenly, topped with fresh, finely grated mozzarella that melts over everything and creates a stretchy coating, with a hint of oregano sprinkled over the top to garnish and add a little more flavour. But a good margherita isn’t just a meal, it’s a testimony to the Italian culture, an offering that can never be refused, the green of the oregano, white of the mozzarella, and red of the sauce symbolising the colours of the Italian flag, and symbolising the pride in our hearts as we feast upon the glory. And I’ll be damned if I don’t eat the whole thing with a nice loaf of garlic bread.
