Italy Heaven-Pizza on Earth Good Will to All!

Anyway you slice it-the best pizza is here From a wi-fi hot spot to a real hot spot-Portofino is a picturesque sea resort and tourist destination located in the province of Genoa on the Italian Riviera. Let's face it, there are only two types of pizza, good and great. So I formed pizza posse and ate... First of all, The pizza in Italy is awesome, even the cold pizza I had in Portofino; but earlier in the day, somewhere between Santa Margherita and La Spezia, Liguria, I had an awesome slice of Pizza heaven. So what made this Italian Pizza GR8--fresh ingredients, thin crust, the sauce, the cheese-Neopolitan style. In a strange sort of way--Italian pizza actually qualifies as New York Style Pizza

Just Doing It — CΓ΄te d'Azur Just Doing It — CΓ΄te d'Azur Where stories turn into postcards and dreams meet the Mediterranean Nice (pronounced Neese) is Greek for Nike, goddess of victory. Greetings from the dreamy coast of Provence, where stories turn into postcards and every wish seems within reach. U2's Bono made Eze his permanent escape. Walt Disney arrived for a weekend — stayed for two weeks.
