Pizza and Wine Pairings
The most popular example of Neapolitan cooking transported to America is the pizza. Pizza connoisseurs, like hamburger infatuates, swear by their favorite street stands or pizza palaces. And like hamburgers, street pizza can be luscious, soulless, and utterly nauseating. Nevertheless, pizza is a staple in American culture, as patriotic as baseball and apple pie. Across the country, there are varieties of the dish, cities and states that claim “Ours is the best,” restaurants that specialize only in pizza and the likes of, and people who have revolutionized the industry with cauliflower crusts and the like.

The best places to brunch are those where you can meet with friends (or family!) to recharge after a long week and mentally prepare for the upcoming one.
