Sartoria Panatieri, in Barcelona, was judged the best on the continent. The award was announced at a ceremony, which was also held in Barcelona.

I would try a Spanish pizza, or any from other countries. I’ll bet they would be good. Just no bananas…

Michael Savage said on his radio show that he didn’t like the Italian restaurants in SF because the cooks are from Guatemala.

Those are not jalapenos, they must be the cherry tomatos.

When I was still working in DC, all the ‘Chinese’ restaurants seemed to be run by Koreans.

I love Korean food; but it’s not Chinese.

(Unfortunately, at the time it was hard to find a Korean restaurant that wasn’t super expensive. But that’s changed, now...)

Every year when F1 races at Monza, the Mexican driver Sergio “Checo” Perez goes to the same restaurant, and orders his favorite pizza with TUNA on it. He says it’s great.

Pizza Papalis in Detroit is still the best pizza I’ve ever eaten in my life. Every time we went there in the 90s there was a line halfway down the block.

And the cooks in Italian restaurants in NY, NJ, and Connecticut are Hondurans and Salvadorans. Seriously.
