Pizza is a tasty food all around the world, but did you know that it can be quite different depending on where you go? That’s because the ingredients, cooking methods, and pizza-making traditions vary greatly from place to place. For example, in Italy, pizza is typically made with simple and high-quality ingredients such as fresh mozzarella and tomatoes, and cooked in a wood-fired oven, which gives it its characteristic soft and chewy crust.
In contrast, in America, pizza is often loaded with toppings and cooked in a gas oven, resulting in a much crispier crust. Even within the same country, you can find different regional variations.
For example, in New York, you will find the classic thin-crust pizza, while in Chicago, you will find a deep-dish pizza with a thick crust. The unique characteristics of pizza in different places make it a fascinating food to explore and try. It’s like a culinary journey around the world, in one slice!
Pizza in Thailand
If you thought Pizza wasn’t common in Thailand, you’d be correct. Vegetables, Meats, herbs, and Spices are the building blocks of most Thai dishes. In Thailand, eating food is considered a group activity, and eating alone is considered a sign of bad luck.

Carrots may not seem like the most obvious choice when it comes to pizza toppings, but they can be a surprisingly delicious addition. Carrots are a versatile vegetable that can add a unique flavor to any pizza.
