In this episode of Pizza Cultura, we dive into the heart of London's sizzling pizza scene! Join us as we dissect a recent Guardian article that sparked hot debate: Does the UK truly appreciate Neapolitan pizza? We delve into the representation of independent pizzerias, the rise of alternative styles like Chicago deep dish and St. Louis, and the fine line between homage and imitation.
