So You Think You Know Pizza?

TAIPEI, TAIWAN -- Move aside New York, your pizza is so passé.  Chicago Deep Dish? Never was a fan.
Time to move on to more creative, "new-age" pizza flavours.  Check out what Taiwan's Pizza Hut has to offer:

Sukiyaki Beef: beef marinated in a sweet soya sauce, burdock, red bell pepper, onion, with a tangy sweet sauce and sprinkled with sesame.  "Tornado" Crust

Classic Hawaiian Pie.  Mozarella and Cheddar stuffed Tornado Crust
Remember PH's stuffed crust?  Imagine chopping that into 3 pieces and placing them perpendicular to the slice. You can actually rip off the individual bite-sized cheese breads, yummm.

Japanese Takoyaki Flavour: octopus, green pepper, onions, mushrooms topped with seaweed, sweet mayo, and sesame seeds.  "Crown" Pizza Crust with mini sausages. Insane.

Korean Kimchi BBQ: Kimchi, spicy BBQ pork.
Why can't we have these flavours stateside instead of overly cheesy pasta dishes and oil-drenched sandwiches?


Now, a quick flashback to The Original Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana in New Haven, Connecticut

White Clam Pie: Fresh clams, grated cheese, olive oil, fresh garlic and oregano.
This pizza was divine, we took a food trip out to CT last summer and this was the first stop on the list.  But like many seafood dishes, it gets a little fishy once cold.  Not cool for slow eaters like myself.

Next stop, Naples!
