Thanks to "The Golden Girls," I know a very funny story about the origin of pesto sauce, but I'll refrain from sharing it now. Instead, I'd like to share this amazing pesto recipe that looks absolutely delicious! - Sonic

Pizza made by the Patina Restaurant group is probably the closest you'll get to real Italian Pizza in the States. Using the freshest tomatoes, mozarella cheese, and basil leaves, the Patina Group also uses a special water formulated to mimic the natural minerals found in Italy's water to achieve a close version of the pizza crust Italians have been enjoying for centuries. - Sandwich
