Jason:  You want to get some food?

Amy:  Pizza?

Jason:  Sure. That’s pretty agreeable.

Amy:  I just…I could eat pizza every meal of the day.

Jason:  Yeah, there’s Hawaiian pizza with pineapple and bacon on it. And, you know, you could also get vegetarian pizza. It’s almost like you’re eating a salad and your dinner at the same time with all the spinach on there.

Amy:  Yeah, you can get tons of vegetables on there. It’s almost like a health food.

Jason:  Well, what kind are you in the mood for today?

Amy:  You know, I like the traditional, cheese or peperoni. But are there any toppings you don’t like? Maybe we should rule those out first.

Jason:  Yeah, let’s leave out the onions.

Amy:  Oh yeah, I don’t like onions either.

Jason:  And what kind of crust?

Amy:  Well, I’m not starving, so deep dish might be a little too heavy. How about thin crust?

Jason:  Yeah, that’s a good way to go. And actually, I ask them to leave off some of the cheese sometimes.

Amy:  What? Leave off the cheese?

Jason:  Just about half, like use half as much cheese as you would normally use.

Amy:  No way. I love the greasy cheese.

Jason:  Right on.

Jason and Amy want to get something to eat. Amy suggests pizza. Jason thinks that pizza is an easy food to agree on because there are so many different kinds and styles. Amy agrees. She likes lots of vegetables on her pizza when she’s in the mood for something healthier, but she likes traditional types of pizza like cheese and pepperoni, too.

Jason and Amy talk about what kind of toppings and crust they want. Amy wants thin crust because she isn’t very hungry. Jason says to leave off the onions. Sometimes he thinks there is too much cheese on pizza, so he asks for half the cheese. But Amy loves cheesy pizza.

Do you like pizza? What are your favorite pizza toppings? What toppings do you not like on pizza?

pizza is one of the oldest prepared foods and dates back at least to the neolithic. Records of people adding other ingredients to bread in order to make it more flavorful can be found throughout ancient history.before the Italians the Ancient Greeks,  had a flat bread called plakous ,which was flavored with various toppings like herbs, onion and garlic. It is also said they themselves had learnt it from  soldiers of the Persian King, Darius the Great (521-486 B.C.) who baked a kind of bread flat upon their shields and then covered it with cheese and dates,so I guess Julito your great accolades firstly belong to anciant Iranians,then anciant Greeks and at last anciant Italians.:) by the way thank you for your accoladesWink

Well, pizza is no doubt is a staple food for many people. It’s not expensive, tasty when hot and just bought, and makes you full and happy :). Especially when a delivery guy brings it and those flavours spread around the room, you can’t help controlling yourself not having a bite or two. Though pizza is not in the list of things I should eat before I die, my favourite one is with a pineapple topping and whenever I have a chance to eat it, i eat it. Pineapples add some unique and a little bit refreshing sweet and sour taste to all those basic ingredients in pizza. And I prefer a thin crunchy crust. It’s sort of comforting to me as a thought it has less calories than those ones with much dough in them. Especially i appreciated the taste of pizza when once was served in one restaurant totally a not digestable pie. I was just looking at it and couldn’t believe my eyes what a joke it was. The only thing was left for me for that moment to think about a delicious pizza being sold in my area. Well, it’s understandable since lots of Italians live here and who is not as they can make it top notch! Honestly, I never lucked out making my own pizza at home that would be quite the same pizza I buy at the store. The dough always shrinks, it’s dry and something is missing. I think it because I can’t whirl it and spin it like those pizza guys do :) The same can be said about a frozen pizza bought in a store as well. The taste is just like a piece of cardboard. So, I prefer, once in a blue moon, to order pizza in a pizza store. Why once in a blue moon—it’s got too much calories:)

Whoever has invented the pizza,  my  great accolades  to this person  or people  . i am  crazy  about  it, my favorite is … thin crust  with these toppings: cheese ,tomatoes ,ham,and  anchovies , anyway, I don´t rule out  thick crust.   Definitely, pepperoni  would never be  a choice  for me.Foot in mouth
