There is a place here that has a genuine pizzaiolo, studied in Italy.
The real deal is hard to find, most pizza in the U.S. is *******ized
anyway.

I agree. American pizza has about as much to do with pizza in Italy as
Taco Bell has to do with real Mexican food.

We lived in Italy, near Naples for a little over two years. Our
favorite pizza joint was a little dive in the town that Sophia Loren
was born. (contrary to her bio, she was *not* from Rome).

The pizzas were prepared by hand manipulating and spinning the dough.
Then it was soaked in olive oil and some leafy something was applied,
following with tomatoes and a small amount of cheese. More olive oil,
then it was put into a brick oven with a wood fire. Cooked for about
45 seconds, removed, folded in half with oil dripping out all over the
place and served.
