Chapter 14 "La Piatta"

They pretty much only have two dishes in Italy. Yep, you guessed it, pizza and pasta. Way to go Mario. However just a quick note on how they have perfected the pizza. As you might have thought, yes it is the best you can get. It is beyond any pizza I have ever tasted before. Of course what you can get on it is the same, yet things like olives they put on whole, not sliced. One thing I found very interesting and amazing at the same time is how they sell it. Pizza is not sold by the slice, but by the weight of it. An average cost for a pizza from what I've found is 10-15 euroes a kg. Its absolutely amazing. Just like everywhere else in the world, the more toppings you get, the more it costs. This just seems fair though because you are literally paying for what you get, not paying some pre-determined price based on how popular the item is. So that's it, I love it. Buying pizza by weight. We should all learn a lesson from this.
