Pizza is one of the most international foods there is. No matter what country you come from, you’ve probably had pizza. And you probably liked it, too!

Part of pizza’s popularity might come from the fact that there are so many different types of pizza to choose from. You can select your favorite crust, your favorite sauce, your favorite cheese, and your favorite toppings. Whether its a simple slice of cheese or something more gourmet, there is a pizza to suit almost any mood, taste, or occasion. Hear Amy and Jason talk about their favorite kinds of pizza.

比萨是最具国际影响力的食品之一。无论你来自哪个国家,可能都曾品尝过比萨。也许你也很喜欢比萨!
比萨受欢迎的部分原因或许是因为它有众多口味可选。你可以选择喜爱的饼皮、酱料、奶酪和配料。无论是配上一小块简单的奶酪还是更美味的辅料,比萨几乎适合任何心情、口味或者场合。请听艾米和詹森谈论他们喜爱的比萨口味。

Jason:  You want to get some food?

Amy:  Pizza?

Jason:  Sure. That’s pretty agreeable.

Amy:  I just…I could eat pizza every meal of the day.

Jason:  Yeah, there’s Hawaiian pizza with pineapple and bacon on it. And, you know, you could also get vegetarian pizza. It’s almost like you’re eating a salad and your dinner at the same time with all the spinach on there.

Amy:  Yeah, you can get tons of vegetables on there. It’s almost like a health food.

Jason:  Well, what kind are you in the mood for today?

Amy:  You know, I like the traditional, cheese or peperoni. But are there any toppings you don’t like? Maybe we should rule those out first.

Jason:  Yeah, let’s leave out the onions.

Amy:  Oh yeah, I don’t like onions either.

Jason:  And what kind of crust?

Amy:  Well, I’m not starving, so deep dish might be a little too heavy. How about thin crust?

Jason:  Yeah, that’s a good way to go. And actually, I ask them to leave off some of the cheese sometimes.

Amy:  What? Leave off the cheese?

Jason:  Just about half, like use half as much cheese as you would normally use.

Amy:  No way. I love the greasy cheese.

Jason:  Right on.

Jason and Amy want to get something to eat. Amy suggests pizza. Jason thinks that pizza is an easy food to agree on because there are so many different kinds and styles. Amy agrees. She likes lots of vegetables on her pizza when she’s in the mood for something healthier, but she likes traditional types of pizza like cheese and pepperoni, too.

Jason and Amy talk about what kind of toppings and crust they want. Amy wants thin crust because she isn’t very hungry. Jason says to leave off the onions. Sometimes he thinks there is too much cheese on pizza, so he asks for half the cheese. But Amy loves cheesy pizza.

Do you like pizza? What are your favorite pizza toppings? What toppings do you not like on pizza?

I like pizza a lot. I usually go for margheritta or four cheese pizza. I don´t care for seafood pizza. In my country there are two types of pizzerias. The ones who serve you rounds of pizza pies. You pay a set price and get as many slices as you can eat. Each round is a diffent topping. And there are those who serve a la carte pizza. At these restaurants the pizza pie is usually better prepared and the crust is thicker or stuffed with cheese.

Food like pizza keep you in a good mood, give you a pleasure, but eating always a food rich in a lot of calories isn’t recommended because it causes illnesses and doesn’t help you lose weight. It depends on metabolism of courseSmile

Dear lesya,   certainly  we have with pizza a mix relation of love-pain , love, we all know    when we relish     ,i don´t want to tell how many slices  of it….  and pain , the amount of  carbs  that we will have to burn  up  to keep our body slim…. or maybe ,we don´t care  the extra pounds we will have to carry around.  hehehehehWink

I have read  all the comments in point of loving pizza.


I’ll definitely make you surprised  because I can’t say if  I like it or not. I’m just indifferent to it. If I hardly ever want it, I guess, I don’t like it. Nevertherless, I sometimes eat it and even prepare it myself.  Uncountable times  I’ve got  leaflets in my door handle inviting me to oder  pizza. No reaction, though it’s not expensive at all. The same situation is with eating it in pizzeria. No wish to go into.


So, no love to pizza.
