Pizza #4-- funghi trifolati! It is a tomato based pizza with mozzarella and mushrooms topped with basil leaves. The tomato and cheese are festive enough for the New Year's red and gold.

As you may see, the photo has a missing slice. Where did that slice go before I made that photo shoot?

On my plate! Just in time before it landed in my mouth. When I ate my slice, I can taste the tasty tomato base, the melted mild mozzarella cheese, the effect of fresh and dried herbs, and the softly crisp crust. I ate the center piece of basil leaves together with some bites of the pizza. Yummo!  

Not only is it delicious to the tastebuds, but also the sight of it, the aroma of it, the touch (with my bare hands), and the bite of it that I forgot to use my cutlery. Now I know why it slipped my mind to take the photo first before getting a slice. I posed the fork and knife on the plated pizza slice just for looks. ;-)

I look forward to order this pizza and eat it all by myself again when my big appetite kicks in. If my appetite is smaller, this will be my cue to share the slices.


Buon appetito!
