$34 for 2 pizzas does seem like a lot!I am sure he described the specificities of the Sicilian pizza, he even sent us photos of them , but I must have not payed a lot of attention, because I don't quite remember... I do remember that he said, another time, that the side-sallad served with pizza in Sweden (even known as pizza salad) is quite specific to Sweden. Apparently it was introduced in Sweden by the Italian cook, Giuseppe "Peppino" Sperandio, who opened the first pizza place in Sweden in 1969. Here that salad goes with pizza as a rule ever since, but in many other European countries they have never even heard of it, he said. This I remember because every time I buy pizza and get the pizza salad on the side, I hear him giving a lecture on that inside my head....I like curry and chicken on my take-out pizza, either that or a veggie one, but the homemade I make with olives, onions, feta cheese and bacon. love/Reb> >> > Google, 'gazpacho', unless you've already heard of it.
