MICHAEL LEDEEN: Book Your Trip Now to the Pizza Olympics.

Real pizza is Neapolitan, having been invented and perfected in Naples in the 19thcentury and named after the queen of recently-unified Italy (the Margherita).  No wonder there is an organization—the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana (the True Neapolitan Pizza Association)–devoted to its propagation and protection.

The association celebrates 35 years of activity this year, and is preparing for a global pizza Olympics.

Eat, err, read the whole thing.
