There is typically a lighter crust for the pizza, less sauce, and also less cheese on the pizza here than in the United States. The pizza is delicious and not too greasy. In Italy, there are options for pizza toppings that you cannot get in the U.S.A. For example, there is one pizza with crushed pistachios, and another with tuna. Some pizzas also come with potatoes and onions on them. You can find either cheese made from buffalo’s milk, called bufala, or cheese made from cow’s milk. Some pizzas, like the Margherita pizza, don’t have cheese at all! When you eat, it is important that you take your time, talk with your friends and enjoy the night. There is no rush here, plus you need time to eat a whole pizza by yourself!
After you finish your yummy pizza, you can order a caffe. A caffe is just a little espresso shot, which is a drink made of very strong coffee served sin a little cup. There is no milk added, because it is part of the culture not to drink milk after noon. However, it is okay to add sugar into the espresso. In Italy, it is also okay to drink coffee late at night, instead of just in the morning and the afternoon, and people order coffee with breakfast and then after lunch and dinner. You cheer with your friends and then dinner is over!
Eating out for dinner is a really relaxing experience, and people are at the restaurant to have a good time, talk with friends and eat some yummy pizza. I really liked trying different kinds of pizza, especially the one with tuna, because I had never had a tuna pizza before. I was with my friends and we had such a good time each eating a whole pizza.
