Pizza, yes. But only if it’s made by Italians, in a true Italian pizzeria. None of that phony chain stuff made by kids hired right off the street.

I’m fortunate that I have such a pizzeria near me. How do I know it’s a true Italian pizzeria? Because while I wait for my pizza, I can hear folks in the kitchen yelling at each other in Italian.

Evidently making true Italian pizza is quite an emotional thing.

LOL. Reminds me of this meme...

You would have enjoyed the trips we made for Chinese food in Mons, Belgium. My co-workers were English monoglots. The restaurant staff spoke French to customers. No attempt at English. After taking the order, the server communicated the order to the kitchen staff in Mandarin. I know just enough of each language to pick out what was spoken and where. It's a wonder anyone actually received what was intended.

I wasn't particularly proficient in French, but successfully conveyed my order at another restaurant in Mons. Somehow I became the default translator that evening.

We did have some excellent pizza in Mons. Whether ordered in French or English it was pretty good. I found a nice Thai restaurant and discovered the staff spoke very good German. That made life easier for me. Mons is definitely a great place for polyglots.

Are you sure it's Italian? Around here, most "Italian" pizzerias are run by Mexicans.
