The mystic art of pizza making

It’s got to be no more than 14 inches and no thicker than 0.1 inches…

What’s round, no more than 14 inches in diameter, no thicker than 0.1 inches in the middle, with a crust about 0.8 inches thick? Real Neapolitan pizza according to Italy’s Agriculture Ministry.

There’s around 23,000 pizza restaurants in Italy making over 56 million pizzas each week and according to the president of the pizza-makers association, the strict guidelines are necessary to protect one of the most ancient and most important gastronomic traditions – the Neapolitan pizza.
