The pizza in Germany

Our country is world famous for many reasons, in addition to fashion, Mafia, wine and history (I Rom) one of the things which appears at the top of this special list is definitely the pizza. Italians are the inventors of this product that is now present all over the world. A newspaper quoted economy, estimated that the pizza in the world has an estimated turnover of 60 billion euro a year. But as the pizza is prepared in other countries? Which ingredients are used?

The pizza in Germany

We continue our tour in the world, and after describing pizza in the US and pizza in Brazil, Today we get a little 'more to Italy and see how the pizza is prepared in Germany.

Compared to the US and Brazil, that many thousands of miles away from Italy, and where the pizza is adapted to the habits and customs of the place, In Germany, which is only a few kilometers from our country, I would have expected to find a product similar to Italian, but in the various trips made in this fantastic region that dominates the European economy, I could not help but notice that even here the differences are huge culinary. Except for some Italian pizzeria, that still persists in proposing the daisy and the four seasons, in almost all other local, the pizza is nothing but a neutral base on which are added to taste local ingredients that adapt to the customs and traditions of this fantastic people.

In Germany as in the US, in the big pizza chains, are offered the possibility of a complete customization of this product. In almost all menus Germans invariably include pizza Calabresa with a great local spicy salami, pizza Bolognese, covered with a pseudo meat sauce, Hawaiian pizza, which has among its ingredients pineapple, carbonara with bacon, eggs and cream, but by pizzaiolo, pizza that most impressed me is definitely the "pizza dough", topped with spaghetti (Vermicelli) served with a generous layer of melted cheese as a topping.

From cringe for an Italian, but not at all I might add. Know that it was the first thing I ordered soon as I sat at the table. The customs and traditions of all other peoples must be respected and tasted. Know that even we Italians are masters in adapting traditional dishes foreign, our way. If you are not convinced of anything, there is nothing left to do but call your pizzeria downstairs and ordered the classic pizza margherita.
