Was the menu written in Italian?

yes, it was. Very few places had English menus where we went.

The first ever pizza I had was in a café at the Albury Airport in 1972 just before my first ever fight. Italian with the lot including anchovies and have been hooked ever since.

The best commercially produced pizza would have to be from La Casa at Manly, just opposite the ferry terminal.  Used to go there every time I went of attend a course at the School of Guns, which some of you may know as Camp Biggest Loser.

Used to travel a 100k just for a good pizza, but more often than not, disappointed by the cardboard replicas on offer.

So these days, my wood fuelled oven is my favourite friend.  Bread and pizza  I have ever.

My OH was very unimpressed with the pizza in Italy, he thought they had no idea what they were doing! lol

I loved it! even the takeaway ones made in a slab were delicious!

Real pizza (the modern version) has tomatoes as a tribute to the Italian flag and, at the time, the monarchy.

green (basil), white (mozzarella), and red (tomato)

That was for one type of pizza, the Margherita

According to popular tradition, in 1889, 28 years after the unification of Italy, during a visit to Naples of Queen Margherita of Savoy, wife of King Umberto I, chef Raffaele Esposito of Pizzeria Brandi and his wife created  a pizza resembling the colors of the Italian flag, red (tomato), white (mozzarella) and green (basil). They named it after the Queen - Pizza Margherita.

Descriptions of such a pizza recipe, however, can be traced back to at least 1866 in  Francesco DeBouchard book “Customs and Traditions of Naples” -  (Vol II, p.. 124). There he describes the most popular pizza toppings of the time which included one with cheese and basil, often topped with slices of mozzarella. - See more at: http://www.italymagazine.com/featured-story/pizza-margherita-history-and-recipe#sthash.pPei4PzO.dpuf

Yes, but it highlights tomato on pizza is acceptable to the Italians, being of interest here 🙂

The other pizza presented to the Queen had garlic. No wonder she preferred this one 😉

There was a seafood version too (or was that the garlic one) yum and an anchovy one.. anyway the Queen chose the plain one (with tomatoes)
