| | I am very sorry to all Italians actually in Italy, but the best pizza in the world is to be found in Brooklyn, NY, USA. Do not argue with me unless you have been there, and have eaten at Nino's pizzeria on Clinton St in Carroll Gardens. Sure, the "complex" pizzas (such as white pizza with ricotta, mozzarella, spinach, mushrooms, and garlic) are great, but Nino also makes the best damn plain slice on earth. And in direct conflict with the above entry (again, my apologies, but I really do feel very strongly about this) I must state my fervent belief that pizza as most of the world knows it today was in fact invented in Brooklyn, in the first half of the 20th century. Italian pizza in Italy is wonderful, it really is, it's just different, and I think that when most people (aside from Tuscans, perhaps) think of pizza, they think of a big pie, crust crispy but still tender, gooey mozzarella with a hint of olive oil in the grease, etc etc, which is purely a New York invention.
Ok, now that I've made myself hungry and homesick, I'll stop ranting...
