Jana’s post describing the wonders of pizza in It’s true, what Ray said, that pizza here in the Rio area sucks. What they try to pass off as pizza just makes me shake my head: crappy crust, a full tablespoon of tomato sauce (if you’re lucky), a pinch of cheese, absolutely minimal vegetables or pepperoni evenly spaced apparently to make it look bountiful. And if you are getting an extra fancy pizza with everything: one green olive placed right in the middle. Did you see my previous post about ready-to-use pizza crusts at the grocery store?
Now I know we USA folks are fat and we don’t do portion control very well and we like our pizzas loaded, but not counting a Super Bowl Sunday bonanza extra large pie, I’m thinking every pizza in the US
We live directly across the street from a restaurant that hosts an all-you-can-eat pizza and pasta format every night. We’ve been a couple times but have given up. Actually, when we do go (usually for someone’s birthday) I eat the pasta and salad bar with maybe a little slice of chocolate strawberry pizza for dessert.
When Luiz and I want pizza we pick up an uncooked pizza from the bakery down the street and then add sauce, vegetables, pepperoni, cheese, etc. Then it resembles a real pizza.
I will tip my hat for the dessert pizzas, however. Very clever.
Luiz has a cousin who got rich operating two delivery-only pizza outlets. He used to joke that he used practically no ingredients and could sell it for a fistful of cash.
