They Say You Are What You Eat<br />

WE MUST BE<br />

PIZZAS THEN<br />

Craving for a slice of margherita or a much sophisticated slice peppered with caramelised onions<br />

and spinach? We take you through some of the world's best pizza parlours — offering choices<br />

for both the simple and classy dining experience.<br />

There's something about food that just transcends differences and connects us all together. Because have you heard of<br />

anyone complaining or refusing food, especially if it tastes good? More so, when that food happens to be pizzas —<br />

a usually circular-shaped dough massaged to perfection, drizzled with toppings of meat, vegetables and cheese, baked<br />

in an oven to a puffy goodness. And even if you have certain dietary requirements or restrictions, there's a pizza for just<br />

about every type of person in this world.<br />

So, if you're reading this on an empty stomach, you know what you're going to eat today.<br />

Food Indulgence<br />

WORLD'S BEST PIZZA<br />

We're kicking off the list with a bang by starting with an outlet<br />

that names itself as the "World's Best Pizza." Located in Pico<br />

Rivera, California, USA, this outlet's tagline is: "Pizzas are like<br />

ideas, they are made to be tossed around. Come and enjoy<br />

the delicious authentic flavours of a true quality pizza." Not<br />

too shabby for an outlet with a four-star rating on a<br />

crowdsourced review website, Yelp. The pizzeria also<br />

states all pizza dough are fresh and baked to order while<br />

savoury pizza sauce and premium types of pizza cheese<br />

is what makes the pizzas here more than just a regular<br />

college meal.<br />

PIZZA PILGRIMS<br />

Two British foodies went on a road<br />

trip to Italy learning and absorbing<br />

everything that said pizza and the<br />

rest, as they say, is history. Today,<br />

Pizza Pilgrims has five outlets<br />

around London, England.<br />

Using ingredients sourced<br />

from in and around Naples,<br />

Italy, the outlets are known for<br />

making traditional Neapolitan<br />

pizzas although the owners<br />

claim they still find it<br />

impossible to beat a proper<br />

Neapolitan Margherita. Pizza<br />

Pilgrim's pride is in its<br />

ingredients. This includes using<br />

top quality Italian plum tomatoes —<br />

a brand called Strianese. They have thin<br />

skins, which mean they soak up all the sun to<br />

produce a really sweet tomato that’s full of flavour.<br />

The pizza sauce is simply tomatoes crushed with a pinch of salt<br />

— simple and delicious while buffalo mozzarella on the pizza is<br />

quite an experience. It has a higher fat content than cow's milk<br />

mozzarella which gives a much richer flavour but makes for a<br />

much 'messier' pizza!<br />
