M: Let's listen to our dialogue for the last time and then we'll come back and talk about pizza from a pizza expert.
- 00:10 DIALOGUE,THIRD TIME
M: Alright, we're back and we are here with our pizza exper, who else, but Marco from ItalianPod.
M1: Hi, everyone.
E: Marco Two, right?
M1: Marco One.
M: I'm Marco Zero, he's Marco One.
M: We've come to an agreement.
M1: So, Zero, what's the deal about this pizza thing?
M: We're talking about pizza today and we want to know what's your opinion since pizza comes from Italy, right?
M1: Well, thanks for the question first, Marco Zero. Is my mic working?
M: It should be.
M1: Okay, so, the problem with pizza is that, yes, it comes from Italy… originate it…the story goes… what was then? Regina Margarita, Queen Margarita.
M1: But the problem is that now this confusion worldwide, pizza and Pizza Hut, American pizza, Italian pizza, that is not the same thing.
M/M1: It's not the same.
M: Okay.
M1: Have you…
M: So, Pizza Hut isn't Italian pizza.
M1: Okay, here it goes, hm, Italians are little better… Italians make food but they're not good at branding it.
M: Okay.
M1: Americans are very good at branding their food.
M: Uhu.
M1: So they have Starbucks and Pizza Hut and bla-bla-bla… The problem is that since they have to brand it they don't change the name.
M: Uh.
M1: So they… they do this PIZZA Hut… that is totally different from Italian pizza. How is it different? Have you ever seen the… the… two of them? Have you ever compared them?
M: Yeah, yeah. They are very different. That's true.
E: So, okay, can you put pineapple and ham on a pizza?
M1: Aaah, technically you could…
E: Like it's possible.
M1: As long as you call it Hawaiian you can put pineapple in everything, I guess, but the problem… what I'm trying to say that… Okay, Italian pizza is, you know, you have the flour, the bread, the pasta… not pasta pizza…
E: The crust, the crust.
M1: The crust, the tomato sauce, and then ...
E: Pepperoni.
M1: Mozzarella cheese and that's a basic and then you can put on top of it… with some variations. My compito is basically take everything that you have on the table and put this on it. That's a main difference. But… I'm not saying that I'm against the American pizza. I'm saying that you just should change the name.
M: To another thing. What do you suggest we should call it?
M1: Zippa.
M: Zippa.
M1: It's close enough.
M: Close enough, yeah.
E: Yeah.
M1: But it's a different thing.
E: Maybe you need like an A, like Azippa.
M1: Azippa.
M: Azippa.
E: To indicate that it's American, A for America.
M: Uh, maybe.
M1: A.Zippa.
E: A.Zippa.com.
M1: Uh… Can I have a A.Zippa.
M: So, Marco…
E: Dot com.
M1: A.zippaPod.com.
M: So, Marco, I know that, um…that you are very much against having Pizza Hut pizza.
M1: Um, I like it as anexotic experience, because I like the fact that is… it’s so much stuff in it that you can not even tell the difference between the ingredients.
M1: You know, they have this super mega supreme…
M: Super supreme.
M1: Super supreme.
E: With cheese in the crust.
M1: I don't even know what's inside.
E: Yeah.
M1: It's great. It's great, it's like there's a party in my mouth and everybody's invited.
M1: That's for me the feeling of American pizza.
M: Well, another interesting thing when we were eating pizza with Marco is that we noticed the way that people from different countries eat pizza.
E: That's right. Italian people fold their pizza.
M1: We do fold… a… and another thing is that we have a hold pizza like if I order one pizza it's not like I share it, everybody has a one slice of it. We ordered one pizza, you ordered your pizza, she ordered her pizza and so on.
M1: Pizza's personal. Don't mess with my pizza, Marco Zero.
M: Alright, well, this whole pizza discussion. Let's see what our listeners have to say about it. I know that we have listeners from all over the world and what do they do with their pizzas.
E: Yes. What do you…
M1/M: Or their zippas.
E: What do you like on your pizza?
M: Exactly, for example, I…
M1: How height you want the crust to be?
E: Thin.
M: How high?
E: Thin.
M: I know that, for example…
M1: How thin you want your crust to be?
M: I know that, for example, insome countries they put ketchup on their pizza.
M1: I know! Once I was eating pizza… look… I had the Japanese friend who ordered the pizza from Pizza Hut and… the pizza had the pineapple and other staff on it and then she took out like ketchup and mayonnaise…
E: Oh, no.
M1: And she got [it] like wild.
E: Although I must tell you Ilike Tabasco on my pizza and I know that's wrong, I know. I'm sorry.
M1: You do what you have to do, Erica, then, you know, history will judge you for that.
M: Alright, we better go, we're out of time and before Marco has a heart attack or an aneurysm or something we're making him angry here. And if you have any questions for us and also for Marco, because I'm sure he's gonna be, ah, commenting on this aspect…
