There’s something that sets pizza apart from other foods, that drives people to search the country or the globe for that one perfect pizza, or spend a lifetime refining their own vision of what a pizza should be.
There are also great contrasts in pizza. Factories churn out flash frozen pizzas by the million. International chains load up their pizza dough with sugar, fat, and dozens of toppings and bring them to your door. These can be guiltily enjoyable – but eating a pizza can also be a sublime experience about texture, aroma, and experiencing fresh ingredients together in harmony. A new wave of pizza lovers are discovering the wonders of perfect pizza with classic or innovative toppings, often cooked in wood fired brick ovens.
