Taste translation
You know pizza. But you don’t know THIS pizza. Soft, charred, and slightly molten in the center, nothing like what most people think pizza is.
Zen's note
Forget everything you think you know about pizza. The real Neapolitan one is soft, foldable, and eaten with your hands. If the center is a little wet, that’s correct. Don’t fight it.
