When you say\u00a0pizza<\/em>\u00a0you can’t avoid letting your mind wander to the\u00a0Bel Paese<\/em>, and even though there is a debate about the origins and the meaning of the name worldwide, we do know one thing: we love Italian pizza!<\/strong><\/p>\n

That’s why Select Italy ventured out to accomplish something no one has ever done: to compile the first ever Pizzapedia<\/strong>, an extensive compendium about this yummy staple of the Italian cuisine<\/a>. Learn everything you need to know about Italian pizza!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once Upon a Pizza… Where the Story Begins<\/h2>\n

An introduction on the\u00a0history of the pie\u00a0and how it conquered the world.<\/p>\n

The Chewy Neapolitan Pie<\/h2>\n

Select Italy’s Kate McCluer chronicles how she went from the classic American style pizza, baked in an electric oven, to the stunning discovery of the first pizza in Italy. A stunning experience that took her to breakdown the differences between the American and Italian wood-fired pizza<\/strong> (in particular the kind found in Naples), from how is it served to the different crusts and toppings.<\/p>\n

The Crispy Roman Pie<\/h2>\n

When you go to an Italian\u00a0pizzeria<\/em>\u00a0you may be surprised by all the different options available. But before you choose your toppings, you will have to pick your favorite kind of pie: Roman or Neapolitan?\u00a0Martina suggests you go for the Roman.<\/p>\n

Where to Eat the Best Chicago-Style Pizza?<\/h2>\n

We love to put our Italian food knowledge into practice on this side of the pond, too, and in this article we are delving into the Chicago-style pizza! Baked more like a casserole than the 90-second wood-fired pizza in Italy, Chicago pizza is a local favorite. Our two Italian pizza experts volunteer to taste and give their opinions about the best place to go eat the thick Chicago-style pizza. Read the interview\u00a0here.<\/p>\n

The Importance of the Crust<\/h2>\n

There is a magic formula: salt, water, flour and yeast. The crust makes all the difference maker in a pizza.\u00a0Learn about all the difference in techniques\u00a0and ingredients.<\/p>\n

The USA’s Pizza Experts<\/h2>\n

Two of the most prominent\u00a0pizzaioli<\/em> exported the secrets of Italian pizza to the United States.\u00a0Roberto Capuruscio,\u00a0president of\u00a0the APN\u00a0(Associazione\u00a0Pizzaiuoli\u00a0Napoletani)<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Jonathan Goldsmith, owner of Chicago’s Spacca Napoli<\/em>, discuss the concept of pizza and their roles.<\/p>\n

Move Over Beer: Pizza and Wine, a Match Made in Heaven<\/h2>\n

You might think pizza is usually best with an ice-cold beer, but let Martina Zuccarello tell you why you may want to\u00a0order some good wine\u00a0next time that you are thinking about your choice pizza beverage.<\/p>\n

A new Twist on an old Staple<\/h2>\n

A new wave of elaborate and non-traditional flavors have been used to top pizza pies. Kate shares her view about the\u00a0gourmet revolution.<\/p>\n

How to Organize the Ultimate Pizza Party<\/h2>\n

The last entry of the Pizzapedia series is a short guide on\u00a0how to throw an unforgettable pizza party\u00a0for your family and friends with a fabulous homemade pizza.<\/p>\n

We are sure you love Italian pizza too. What is your favorite kind? Let us know in the comments below.<\/em><\/p>\n
