09/08/2025: For years, walking around my living room clutching a ball of bread dough the size of a tangerine, I've wondered why pizzas from all over Italy are so impossible to cut and chew (they take at least 35 seconds in the mouth), and after a few minutes they arrive at the table piping hot from the oven despite being paper-thin. As Shakespeare asked, skull in hand, pizza or no pizza? That is the question! I've realized, not without effort, that it depends on the extremely fast cooking, which emphasizes the problem described above. The solution is to go to a pizzeria without eating pizza. The interior is full of very evocative fish-themed mosaics. But the air conditioning isn't turned on; apparently, customers don't make reservations anymore. Outside, the place is very different: a bit basic, with unstable plastic chairs. The waitresses leave bottles of cold water at the tables without asking, which might seem like freebies since they're not branded. However, I should point out that I'm not a big fan of pizza. In fact, no matter what, I always order the modest Margherita, which really couldn't be more modest.
