Do you ever feel like a plain pizza? You know the one. Just cheese and nothing else. The ones you have to eat because you are on a diet. The ones that a company needs to order for the people that don't like all the fixings on a pizza. The plain Jane of all pizzas.
There are days you look around and find out you are surrounded by fancy pizzas. Ones that come with everything. Ones that have olives, onions and pesto mixed in. There are the pineapple ones with bacon for the people with advanced pallets. Some dare to have anchovies in the mixed, for the people that want to experience it all.
Pizzas are a jumble of ingredients just like the people that order them. Are you a stick to your guns kind of pizza eater? Will you only eat a pizza with just what you like on it? Are you one to give up what you really like so the larger group gets what they want on their pizza?
If you don't get your own way with what you really want on your pizza, are you one that will then order something totally different? In this way, you don't have to deal with trying to express what it is you really want or are too tired of not being heard.
My favorite kind of pizza person is the one that will tell you to pick off what you don't like. This person usually likes most everything on a pizza and has never had to pick off a topping that has oozed into mozzarella cheese in their life.
Mozzarella is a yummy cheese. Its flavor is mild but has the characteristic of being infused with other flavors it happens to be cooked with. A great attribute for a cheese to help blend all the flavors together. A not so great cheese when you are the one pulling ingredients off, knowing it really will not make any difference to the taste.
Once cooked the juices of any pizza topping will have made itself known forevermore in the gooey mozzarella cheese. When you take your first bite of a pizza with dents in the mozzarella cheese, you do know what is coming.
Which leaves the question for all. What type of pizza person are you? If you were alone and didn't have to share, what would you order on your pizza?
My answer to this is simple. I am an extra cheese, sausage, and pepperoni girl. I love my pizzas cooked so they are brown and bubbly. The pepperoni just starting to crisp. The taste of that tiny bit of spice bursts in your mouth while you realize the sauce, under the cheese, has now taken off 3 layers of the roof of your mouth. Heaven?
