Food thread alert:

In Sardinia, you can buy pizzette (little pizzas, literally, but practically, two rectangular pieces put cheese side together, with waxed paper wrapped around the bottom for a handl) on the street. Yum yum. I don't know if it's a national thing.

My experience with pizza in Italy has been that the art is in putting just enough stuff on to taste good, not 12 million toppings as they do in North America. So people who love "loaded" pizzas are disappointed by Italian pizzas. And people who love delicate, thin crust pizzas which don't suffer structural problems because of the toppings just love 'em!
