The Wonderful World of Pizza, Tuesday Second Period

Raiden's students should have received a message telling them to meet him at Portalocity, where their portal awaited them.

"Good morning, everyone! Today we're headed to the birthplace of modern pizza, Naples, Italy. While there have been of course flatbreads with stuff on them since ancient times, it was in Naples that this was really refined and tomatoes were added to the mix, creating the modern pizza. At first, pizza was sold at open air stands, frequently by the slice, and it was food for the poor and working class, something you could easily pick up and eat on the go. It only really took off after it got royal approval in 1889...but that's another story. Today we're going to the oldest pizzeria in Naples, the Antica Pizzeria Port'Alba, which got its start as one of those open air stands in the 1700s before moving into a brick and mortar building during the 19th century. You can try the pizza--the Margherita is, of course, a classic, but in a port city like Naples you can't go wrong trying the seafood--and then explore the city a little, maybe pick up a pastry like a sfogliatella, another regional classic. Sound like a plan? Let's go!"

Senshi was wandering a bit, but rather that focusing on pastries, his attention was firmly on trying all the different types of bread.
