    So I’ve done a lot of world traveling. Now when I’m with my friends, who have never left the US, I ironically act snobby about dumb shit. “This pizza isn’t as good as the pizza I had in Italy” “This isn’t as good as German beer” “This sushi isn’t like the real sushi in Japan” “if this spider was from Australia I’d already be dead”

      When I was 7 years old, we took a trip to Italy. While in Rome, near the Vatican, we saw a street cart selling pizza. Because I was 8 and all I had to eat was Italian food for days, I asked for the pizza.

      It was, and I still say this 39 years later, the absolute worst pizza I have ever had in my life.

      Do not eat American-style pizza in Italy.
