There are so many places to get pizza here in Perugia. Its a good thing you hike hills to get anywhere around here otherwise I would probably have to be rolled home.
Just kidding. But really.
Last night a group of friends and I went to a pizzeria that you had to know about to find. A leader at the Umbra Institute gave us the scoop and we ventured out to find the back alley where the uneven steps where we were greeted by a young Italian man sweeping away the dirt (Italians are very tidy) who informed us that we were in the right place. "Si, la pizzeriae qui." We were the group to come in for dinner and as prompted by Zach, the leader at Umbra, we asked the pizza maker if we could make our own pizza...He let us! At least three of us got the chance before the little ristorante started filling up with locals. Pizza oven and all, we got to observe three pizzas made from the dough. So much simpler than you would think! Just spread the dough, drizzle a bit of olive oil, top with aregano and mozzarella (or tomatoe sauce), and slide into the stone oven for about 1.5 minutes. Presto! A puffy pizza that is molto bella.
Im learning so much.
Oh, and class is going well too.
A domani (until tomorrow),
Kaitlyn
