Pizza is truly a global phenomenon! One reason for its worldwide appeal is that it can be easily adapted to different cultures and tastes. For example, in Italy, pizza typically has a thin crust and simple toppings, whereas in the United States, pizza often has a thicker crust and more elaborate toppings. This adaptability allows for the creation of local and regional specialties that people can enjoy.
Another reason pizza is so beloved around the world is its accessibility and convenience, both in terms of making it at home or ordering it from a local pizzeria or even delivered to your doorstep. It’s a dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and backgrounds, making it a perfect food for any occasion.
Finally, pizza is just delicious! The combination of gooey melted cheese, savory tomato sauce and various toppings creates a flavor explosion in your mouth that is hard to resist. It’s no wonder that pizza has become a beloved food around the world.

About Mozzarella
Mozzarella is typically white when fresh, however when seasoned, it often changes to light yellow. Ideally it is served the day after it was made. However it can be kept in brine for a week, or even longer if packaged well.
Mozzarella is the most popular cheese to put on pizza as a topping. It can also be twisted to form a plait, and called Treccia.

Food Containers
Leftovers need to go somewhere, and I hate using lots of plastic wrap or alfoil. I prefer good air tight clear containers for my fridge.

Dough storage containers must be of high quality and airtight.
Potato
Potatoes may not seem like the typical topping for pizza, but they can add a unique flavor to your favorite pie. Whether you’re in the mood for something savory or sweet, potatoes are an excellent addition to any pizza recipe.
There are several options when it comes to incorporating potatoes into your pizza: roasted potatoes with garlic; creamy mashed potatoes topped with melted cheese; and crispy shredded potato slices baked on top of a classic margherita.
