    Been spoiled by the awesome pizza here in Napoli. What makes the pizza here great, besides being hand-made and cooked in a wood fired oven, is the simplicity and quality of the ingredients. I really like simple: a little bit of tomato sauce, a few slices of mozzarella (when fresh, it comes in a ball the size of tennis or baseball), some fresh basil... Bellissimo!

    I guess it depends on your crowd, though. Food connoiseur types, hearty American meal types, teenagers (who will eat anything that can't outrun them! ;), carnivores, vegetarians, Hawaiians (Spam and pineapple!), etc. etc.

    Depending on the size of the crowd and the venue, maybe folks'll want to make or order their own...?

    Cheers,
    SW :)

      Really Sista? Isn't pizza our national dish? No fair comparing Pizza the Hut to real pizza. How's the BBQ chicken pizza over there? Enough cilantro? Lots of places skimp with the Canadian bacon on a Hawaiian pizza or don't use fresh pineapple, how is it there? :) Actually, I imagine it tastes like a completely different dish over there. Love to try it. I imagine the crust is completely different from the countless varieties available here. Kinda like San Francisco sourdough different from each bakery and way different from anywhere else in the world.

      What was the question? Oh yeah. I find that usually the plain cheese gets left for last and only eaten when all the others are gone. I also find people are pickier about veggie pizza, some are afraid of bad breath from onions or bell pepper disagrees with them, yadda yadda. You should know the place you're ordering from since they will make some better than others. And also have some idea of your guests tastes and preferences, like some will eat meat but not red meat, etc.
