Even the best Pizza in America
can’t quite capture the flavors of what you find in Italy . Before my arrival my mouth
would water when I thought of Italian Pizza in Italy . My idea of the best pizza
has an almost burnt crust with bubbles. It’s crispy and chewy without having an
over abundance of toppings. It’s not overly cheesed or sauced; it has just the
right balance.

| Fungi e Prosciutto at Pizza Mediteranea |
The first night I arrived in Perugia it was late and I had had nothing to eat
for most of the day as I was traveling.
I had heard that even on a Sunday night there was a Pizzeria close to my apartment called Pizzeria Mediteranea and that was open until midnight. Exhausted and hot, I climbed one of the steep hills ofPerugia to the main

I have decided I must go to both pizzerias and do a comparison taste test right? Poor me, I will suffer trying to decide who has the best pizza in town…but don’t feel sorry for me, I am just LivingLifesBest, and when I make a decision, I will let you know!
Buon apetito!
PS: If you live in Seattle
like me, the closest pizza to true Italian pizza is Via Tribunali. I prefer the
one on Capitol Hill, but there are several around town.
