They were not very good compared to mom and pa places here in the USA.

We traveled from Naples to Rome to Florence to Venice to Como. Had pizza everywhere except Venice (ate seafood there). After first trying pizza in Naples, I realized that the food was not comparable to pizza in the US. I don't mean to say that American pizza (from a local pizzeria) is bad. It's just that the Italian version is made differently. The crust is almost papery thin and the sauce is light and fresh. They look at you funny if you eat it with your hands. I had one pizza with fresh prosciutto that was amazing. I want to go back just for that.

“They look at you funny if you eat it with your hands.”

The reason being it is next to impossible to speak with anything in your hands.

Sounds like the stuff I used to eat in Turkey. They had a different name for it, of course, but that was what I had almost every day for lunch at the restaurant across the street from the campus. The first time I saw it, my reaction was, this must be Turkish pizza. Very tasty.
