MRE Pizza. Good Lord, is Nothing Sacred?
As to pizza: I will support the Neopalitans in their claim to be the home of real pizza, in the form of the pizza Margherita as originally presented to the Empress upon her visit and later revised and refined into the joy that it is today. La Vera Pizza is good stuff.
On our side of the pond, the variations between Chicago style and New York Style pizza, and a whole lot of points in between, represent what a grand dish pizza is for exploring the possible. There is no way to lose. Oven baked pizza can't turn out quite like the wood fired brick oven pizza for a variety of reasons. You can still get a great pizza out of an oven if you take care with your dough and with your ingredients.
MRE Pizza strikes me as akin to watching porn films while deployed at sea ... a shabby substitute for the real thing.
