Pizza Facts
Pizza was not even invented until the 19th century, and it started out as a fast served food in the streets of Naples.
The classic Pizza Napolatana consists of pizza dough, Pomodoro sauce, oregano, basil, garlic, salt, olive oil. The more famous classic Pizza Margherita was named after Queen Margherita who visited Naples in 1889, and was made by the pizza chef who uses bright red tomatoes, basil, and Mozzarella to signify the national flag of unified Italy.
Those thick crust pizza traditionally from Naples are called Pizza Alta, whilst those from Rome are generally thin crust called Pizza Bassa.
To make an authentic Italian pizza, you have to have authentic fresh ingredients, fresh herbs, freshly made sauces, and the pizza must be baked in a wood fire oven. You can decide to spread Pomodoro sauce on your pizza dough to make a red pizza called Pizza Rossa or you can leave out the Pomodoro sauce to make a Pizza Bianca.

For my food tasting session at The Star Vista, Executive Chef Gero specially prepared a thin crust pizza rossa with various fresh ingredients, fresh herbs and fresh sauces made daily : artichokes, tomatoes, asparagus, basil, honey baked ham, spicy salami, pomodoro, white mozzarella.
The pizza crust is freshly prepared daily at the outlet kitchen and made from scratch using key raw ingredients : salt, warm water, extra virgin olive oil, honey, yeast, flour (preferably 00, also known as doppio zero). The dough is allowed to rise till double in size.

The fresh raw whole ingredients used in this pizza gives a rustic fresh chewy bite to the pizza. You can taste the asparagus, artichoke, spicy salami, honey baked ham, tomato slices and all these ingredients give the pizza a sweet savory flavor. I prefer the thin crust Executive Chef Gero used as they are easier to bite and really chewable & crisp.
