A data é invenção tipicamente brasileira: Caio de Carvalho, na época Secretário de Turismo de SP, queria promover uma das paixões gastronômicas de São Paulo – a PIZZA – e criou em 10 de julho de 1985 um concurso para saber qual a melhor pizza de mozarela e margherita da Capital. Não deu outra, a data ficou marcada como o Dia da Pizza, tamanho o sucesso.

Cá entre nós: a gostosura é indispensável na maior parte das famílias. E já viram quantas pizzarias e disk-pizzas existem por aí?

É bem verdade que existem muitas massas emborrachadas tentando se passar por pizza (afinal, nem todas são feitas com bons ingredientes), mas as boas, infelizmente, custam caro – afinal, os bons produtos são para poucos restaurantes.

A minha favorita é margherita! Mas se tiver atum, calabresa, palmito, à moda… tudo bem! Desde que tenha bastante azeite de oliva extra-virgem (indispensável).

IN ENGLISH – The date is a typically Brazilian invention: Caio de Carvalho, at the time the Secretary of Tourism of São Paulo, wanted to promote one of São Paulo’s gastronomic passions – PIZZA – and created a contest on July 10, 1985 to find out which was the best mozzarella and margherita pizza in the capital. It was no surprise that the date became known as Pizza Day, such was its success.

Let’s be honest: deliciousness is essential in most families. And have you seen how many pizzerias and pizza delivery places there are out there?

It is true that there are many rubbery doughs trying to pass themselves off as pizza (after all, not all of them are made with good ingredients), but the good ones, unfortunately, are expensive – after all, good products are only available to a few restaurants.

My favorite is the margherita! But if it has tuna, pepperoni, hearts of palm, à moda… it’s fine! As long as it has plenty of extra-virgin olive oil (which is essential).
