So I’ve been addicted to four-cheese pizza ever since. But I love my pizza with still a hint of red sauce, coz I don’t like my dough dry and sticky. I still would love to eat my pizza with little red sauce drippings while I pull it away from my mouth.
But in recent years, pizza makers are trying to re-invent our good old pizza. From just having tomato sauce, basil and mozzarella to the many faces it has now. In a fancy restaurant in New York, they put caviar and lobster on it. The topping is more expensive than the dough itself. I had one at Max Brenner’s, it’s a dessert pizza. It’s with chocolate and marshmallows.
In Singapore, some of its more popular pizzas have seafood toppings on them. I love my seafood pizza, especially if it’s shrimp and squid. I don’t like fillets of fish. I find it fishy, no pun intended. But last night a few of my friends decided to have beer and pizza at our usual hang-out. I wasn’t feeling very adventurous so I said I wanted my usual.
They started complaining coz cheese doesn’t really go well with beer. But I insisted since I told them I wasn’t drinking. Couldn’t play the designated driver coz we’re all taking the train, but told them I had an important meeting in the morning. They made me pay for my own pizza so that we can order another one.
They opted for the meat lovers’ pizza. We were all silent when the 2 pizzas arrived. They couldn’t be more different to one another. The meat lover’s overflowing with toppings, while the cheese one is flat, because everything’s melted.
The colors are so vibrant from the other, while it’s a sea of goo on the cheese pizza. I have to admit that pizza is synonymous to re sauce. Actually, a pizza can live on marinara sauce alone. But I think people are eating pizza in red sauce for too long. It’s about time that they should try something else.
Like my pizza. It still has marinara sauce, but the main lead is the cheese. Don’t worry, because four-cheese pizzas are usually not salty. Most of the cheeses that they use for this type of pizza are not salty. They have characters alright but definitely not salty.

I love thin-crust pizzas with my favorite toppings - shrimp and squid. Not from international pizza chains, but those from Italian restaurants in Singapore
ReplyDeletei'm also a fan four-cheese pizza, i like the combination of parmesan and gorgonzolla cheese. it's easy to find Italian food in Singapore, but a great four-cheese pizza, that's another story.
