Start with double zero Italian flour. Roll the dough out to a thin crust. spread a little EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) over the dough then a pinch of sea salt. Ladle a thin layer of fresh tomato sauce made from ripe San Marzano tomatoes. Add a few slices of fresh made Mozzarella and bake in a 700 degree wood fired pizza oven. Then top with fresh Prosciutto and Basil. Mangia!!
The closest I've come in the US to this culinary marvel is Eataly in Chicago which employs professional pizza makers from Italy. But Flippers does a pretty good job.
In my not expert opinion, pizza was invented in Italy but perfected in the US.

We think pasta is much better in Italy but pizza not so much. They do not put enough cheese to suit our taste.
