S\u00e3o Paulo ou Nova York: Qual a melhor pizza do mundo?<\/a><\/p>\n

Quando um nova-iorquino se muda para S\u00e3o Paulo \u00e9 imposs\u00edvel evitar a pergunta: \u201cQual das duas cidades tem a melhor pizza?\u201d. Ou, mais comum: \u201cA pizza paulistana \u00e9 a melhor do mundo, n\u00e9?\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

Uma observa\u00e7\u00e3o somente: os nova-iorquinos tamb\u00e9m acham que a pizza deles \u00e9 a melhor do mundo. E da\u00ed temos um problema, porque as pizzas das duas cidades s\u00e3o muito, muito diferentes.<\/em><\/p>\n

A diferen\u00e7a mais marcante \u00e9 a grande quantidade de ingredientes que os paulistanos colocam sobre a pizza. Em Nova York, \u00e9 queijo, tomate e mais um ingrediente (pepperoni, por exemplo), no m\u00e1ximo. Nos meus primeiros meses em S\u00e3o Paulo, quando comi pizza portuguesa, baiana ou vegetariana \u2013 com mil ingredientes em cima de cada uma \u2013 , minha resposta sempre era: \u201cA pizza de S\u00e3o Paulo \u00e9 muito boa. S\u00f3 que n\u00e3o \u00e9 pizza.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
