Thank you very much @TorM for your comment and I fully agree with you … how I shouldn’t hehe.
Yes Germany is full of Italian restaurants, I have tried many of them because I do come often and we are very close so also easier to bring Italian ingredients which is the most important element of an Italian restaurant abroad.
But yes in Italy it always tastes differently, I find that difference even between north and south of Italy.
Do you often eat Pizza? And do you have a favorite flavor of it?
Very nice @KarenVChin , when you will be in Italy in your future trip I think a good pizza tasting should not miss from your agenda 
.
Yes usually we also have here kid size portion, besides the preference. As you can see from the pictures above the one with the slices of ham (prosciutto cotto) is smaller in size because it was the one from my daughter … topped with french fries at the exit haha 
.
Ciao @ChanneLing ,
thank you very much for your kind comment! Very nice pictures and I see the pizzeria your linked is also quite highly reviewed on Maps, so it must be a good one as you say 
… btw I see also furniture and video played on the TV remembers Italy .
Have you ever been to Italy? And if yes ever tasted a pizza here?
Hahaha @TorM I missed your second comment, yes I also have the nuances of US full of Pizza Hut but that’s definitely not true, at least for the times I have been in US, don’t know why there is this common developed common sense.
You’re very funny @955HIRO Lolz. What a detailed and wonderful writeup you have @LuigiZ . I heard that Italy makes the best Pizza in the world, How true is this?. I enjoyed reading through your writeup. The photos are amazing. Thanks 
Hahaha yes @LuigiZ , it’s probably the highest-rated pizzeria in Montreal.
I visited Italy about 4 years ago and traveled to Genova, Milan, Rome, Florence, and Pisa. After these years, it’s still one of my favorite voyages. So yes! Pizza is a MUST eat in Italy.
Below is a collage of some pizza I had in Italy! 
@LuigiZ Hahaha sorry that you can’t make me hungry as I’m still full with late lunch. 
BTW, the Neapolitan style pizza looks yummy. Is it Bianca? I would like to try Bianca one as I love cheese and I don’t like tomato sauce much. Nice content and beautiful photos as usual. Thank you for sharing this post with us.
@ErmesT Thank you for tagging me to this drooling and yummy post.
What a great post @LuigiZ and very simple and nice video! The description of every phases is so interesting and it makes me hungry 
I must say, however, that even though I am Italian, some information I did not know and some rules you described are not valid throughout Italy. For example with us vegetables are also used with red pizza, in fact it is called “Ortolana” or pizza with grilled vegetables (aubergines, courgettes and yellow and red peppers). I was very impressed by the consistency of the dough in the video! 
It looks very elastic and smooth, almost impossible to pierce … Each pizzeria uses a different dough and has its own secrets. I have recently noticed that in many pizzerias wholemeal doughs are becoming very popular, with cereals or other ingredients and with semolina instead of flour which makes the dough nice rough (I like it a lot). What do you think of these types of dough different from the traditional ones? 
Hi @Austinelewex ,
thanks a lot! Yes it is definitely true being an Italian specialty.
Do you like Pizza and do you have a specific favorite flavor?
Oh wow @ChanneLing , nice trip you had … so you passed also from my actual area, have you stopped in Lucca? It is just between Florence and Pisa, there are 2 exits on the highway connecting the two cities .
Btw your pictures are really nice … and here we are approaching lunch time, so the more we talk about food and looks at those pictures, the more I’m starting getting hungry haha .
Yes @Ant_Bad_Yogi that one is Bianca, however the Neapolitan style is not Rossa or Bianca but both as that’s typical and based on preferences. Bianca is topped as 1st ingredient with mozzarella (or provola) instead of the tomato sauce so that the bottom will not dry up due to the cooking and yes it is very good!
Thank you very much for your comment!
Thank you very much @Matt95Bassett ! Hehe we are approaching lunch time … so I’m getting hungry as well looking at those photos 
.
Yes you are fully correct, Italy is a very big country and things are different by each region like @ErmesT mentioned as well. But the Ortolana is really rossa ?!? I never seen this type of pizza anywhere in Italy on tomato sauce hehe, btw I like it very much because I like vegetables … those ones for example are slightly different in each region.
Yes more and more types of dough are coming everywhere, that’s true but from my experience I find this only popular in the north of Italy, maybe because of the more international influence, and at Pizza Gourmet places which they provide those different variations, even with different leavening factors (btw I like them as well).
For example in Lucca there is a place called La Cranceria specialized on different types of dough and different types/approaches of leavening, to be honest really really good and you can see my review here. The standard pizzeria, and especially the Neapolitan one, instead, is very targeting standard dough, or you might find a gluten-free one for those they have a double oven available and for one or two days per week it is common to provide the “integrale” one (with cereals).
Ah I guess pepperoni pizza @LuigiZ 
@LuigiZ Ahaha it is really the case to say at this time: “Non ci vedo più dalla fame!” Yes in Sardinia Ortolana pizza, or with vegetables, I have always seen with the red sauce but for anyone who wanted it they also make it white. Lately I’ve noticed that many pizzerias also in the south they offer different and special doughs, while still respecting the tradition that in my opinion should not be changed but always respected! We will soon have the opportunity to talk about pizzas and other delicious dishes of our “Bel Paese” in person (now only 2 months are missing I can believe it)
HI @LuigiZ
Thanks for your interesting post with great photos and video about Italian Pizza. You just made me very hungry because yes I do pizza, Napoletana, because I like anchovies on my pizza!
Hahaha @Austinelewex that’s an interesting one, I have the feeling I knew it was that one 
Beautiful post. Thanks for taking the time to put this together. So fun.
A couple of years ago I built a wood fire oven in my back yard. Nothing brings the family together for a meal quite like that oven and home made wood fire pizzas.
Learning how to make good pizza dough and fire really good tasting pizzas is an art and a long journey. Really fun.
The link to my DIY project video is below.
Thanks dear friend @LuigiZ for this wonderful post…
VERY interesting…
VERY useful!
I shall be back to TAG FEW of our team members…
All the best…
Regards
Awesome post @LuigiZ , thank you for explaining step by step the process of authentic pizza making! I simply love to learn about food, it’s history and social relevance in its many different contexts.
I leave you with one of the best pizzas I ever tried on my last trip to Florence.
@LuigiZ you miss SFRIZZOLI PIZZA… But however: good work! Very nice picture!
I’m sorry but I like more the crispy pizza… Neapolitan pizza is so soft…
