What could be better than pizza? I mean, honestly, why would
anyone not love pizza? That person, should they even exist, would have some
serious explaining to do should the culinary equivalent of the pearly gates
exist!
The unfortunate and inconvenient truth is that there is such
mass accessibility to frozen lifeless pizza dough and anemic toppings mainly through pizza
chains that have, while making an undeniably successful business model, to a
large extent lost the ideals of what a pizza should be. We as a society have, generally,
thus limited our expectations and experiences of what pizza can, and in my
opinion ought to be. This fact is not meant to be a contrived condemnation of chain
pizza businesses, but freshness is, was, and always will be the gold standard
for pizza. There is no changing that.
Fresh pasta dough, vibrant tomato sauce, fragrant and
slightly peppery basil, and, of course gorgeous mozzarella make up the
phenomenal Margherita pizza. Although meaning different things to different
people, pizza, and in particular Margherita pizza, is ultimately comforting to
me. Satisfying in its simplicity and familiarity, a homemade Maghertia pizza is
guaranteed to beat any fast food pizza on any given day. Especially if you’ve
never made your own before, I would encourage you wholeheartedly to put in the time,
make a pizza, and then, by all means, indulge a little, live a little! After
all, we only live once.
