Looks like a good time

I love pizza, so when we went to Italy last month I ate as much as possible. Went to some really great spots. Found my favorite in Sorrento (pizzeria da Franco).
We also took a cooking class where my dreams were ruined... I'm not ever going to be a pizza maker

My sad attempt
Long story short. We took a cooking class and hit it off with the chef. She told us as tourists we were eating at all the wrong places so she took us under her wing. Ate some great food at a quarter of the prices of the touristy traps. Then she said, "come tomorrow morning to my kitchen and I'll teach you to make pizza"
So we were hungover and it was semi rushed since she had a class coming. Still a great experience, but I'm no pizza man

My knowledge of Italy is a little limited only having visiting a couple of times to Venice & Rome, some years ago.
I went with my family and at the time being a little low in the folding stuff we only visited Pizzarias, as they seemed to be at the lowest edge of the restaurant trade. Eating anywhere else seemed to be quite expensive.
The pizzas were good but bear in mind we were always hungry!
Ever since have never really rated pizzas when compared with the quality of other Italian meals.
So IMO pizza are excellent when you are hungary and want a quick meal but I will never go out if my way to have one when other options are considered.

Haha nice !

We just got back from there again!

This time i went and checked out the oven



It's not that big , but it can reach 1000 deg , I asked him how long does it take to cook the pizza and he said 45sec! And that's turned twice ! Not sure if he was being serious or pulling my leg , these Italians !



The pizza turns out great , either way !

And this time I also got the hand made spaghetti -Mare


morton bay bugs, zucchini, tomato, garlic, majoran, saffron and chilli*

No joke, it takes approximately 60 seconds to cook a pizza. The pizzaiolo has to turn it so that it gets exposed to the heat source (see the fire on the left in the oven) evenly. He/she will also hold the pizza up in the hot air in the oven for a few seconds to get the cooking done right and even.
There are always variations in the oven temperature and it is part of the pizzaiolo artistry to get the cooking done right all the times.
