You should check out all the other frescos in Pompeii. They’re all quite amazing.

nm i guess they aren’t- they were off to the side of the pizza to the right- neat painting though- almost Trompe-l’œil

Please note: no pineapple. Those of us who fight against the pineapple-on-pizza atrocity are upholding ancient tradition That's like ketchup on a hot dog. Which is culinary blaspheme.

"Don’t know what other sauces go well on a pizza that isn’t tomato"
Try fresh-made pesto sauce! Yum!
And try a good white-sauce! Yum yum!
I've been making homemade tomato sauce for our pizzas with D.O.P. Pomodoro San Marzano tomatoes. Some added salt, olive oil, and basil -- no cooking required. Simple and really excellent! The tomatoes are a bit pricey, but that 28 ounce can makes a LOT of sauce.

Hey - some white pizzas (no tomato sauce) are quite good!

Nothing like morning after pizza to treat a hangover

Fish sauce was probably involved as well (not on the 'pizza', necessarily, just elsewhere on the tray).

Or even without the hangover. Cold pizza for breakfast is great.

A fresco that depicts what might be an ancestor of the Italian pizza has been found on the wall of an house in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, Italy's Culture Ministry said on Tuesday. The clue was the Alfresco sauce.

Ah, the Romans! Who considered beer barbaric and throwing Christians to the lions to be fun family entertainment. Pizza's too good for 'em.
And when I get to be Emperor pineapple on pizza will be mandatory! MUHAHAHAHAHA!!

Emperor Bromeliad may have been the first to decree that.

B.C. realism was quite good. The move into unrealistic perspectives came with the symbolism of the early church requirements on painters and destroyed the old realism. Came back after medieval period.
