I remember thinking “Where are the rest of the toppings?” when my pizza arrived at our table in Venice a few years ago. The base was thin and perfectly light, just the way I like it, but it looked as if there were far too few toppings.

After taking my first bite or two, I realized that this is exactly what an authentic Italian pizza should taste like. We may not have been eating it in Naples, the modern birthplace of pizza, but it sure was damn delicious. I realized then that we’ve been eating it all wrong in South Africa. Of course, each person has their own preferences, but for a taste of real, authentic pizza in Cape Town, you simply must go to 95 Keerom.
