Spice level warning — Pizza Margherita is not what I expected
I underestimated Pizza Margherita. The rich and umami description didn't prepare me for the reality. Parmesan brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating.
ingredient simplicity and quality are the guiding principles. The a home kitchen setting means locals eat this with ease while visitors like me reach for water. Chianti cut through it better than water would have. Don't order the mild version out of caution — the full version is the point. I'd go back. Three stars only because I wasn't warned.
