A trip to Italy isn’t complete until you’ve had one of its national dishes, pizza. Another favorite is pasta, but I digress. Pizza from a pizzeria (restaurant) is usually served in the traditional round shape and cooked in a wood-fired oven. Take-away shops sell pizza rustica or pizza al taglio cooked in rectangular pans and are usually quite thick. The slice you order is cut with scissors/knife and is sold by weight. Of course, you can ask for it to be warmed up before it’s packed to go. Depending on your appetite, two slices make up a full meal for me.
