pizza

Wandering frog of the rolling valleys, we had a discussion going a few weeks ago on cone pizza.

Heehee!

The future of pizza is pizzarà.

The future of pizza? I'm not ready to try this!

'Yeast pillow
sailing
through the green
oregano air, floats
down into the bubbling
rumors of tomatoes,
the gossip
of basil and bay leaves,
stretches at the red
aromatic massage,
dreams in layers
of mozzarella, the black
oval dozings of olives
humming in the sun,
dough that naps
in the glow
of laughter,
round appetite,
cicular carpet
shrugging
at knives and forks,
tattles
in many tongues,
international traveler
riding red pepper cloud-currents,
cruising the seas,
rising
to grins
that pull the melted
cheese, queso, fromage, kaas, ser, keshi, ocha,
queijo, käse, panir, nailao, queixo,
formatge, brinzeu, cascaval, bú, formagio
from country to country,
wrapping around us and
our gold floating globe.

"Ode to Pizza" by Pat Mora.

Apparently derived from the medievil greek noun,"pitta" meaning cake/pie

Misspelling of capricciosa?

My local pizza restaurant is offering, among others, the following varieties: Temptation, Aussie, Trash Can, A Lee, The Bomb, Mafioso and Tiger Feast. If they're all too exotic there's always that great Italian fallback, Capricossia.
