THE HISTORY OF PIZZA HOW EXACTLY BIF IS PIZZA IN THE WORLD? According to the data collected in Asia by the Travel Food Agency, even in Asia you could try one of the best pizzas of your life, in fact with the help of some Italian restaurateurs in countries pretty far from Italy excellent pizzerias were born. Here below the three best pizzerias in Asia of 2019: 1. Pizza Massilia – Bangkok, Thailand 2. Gustoso – Mumbai, India 3. KYTALY – Hong Kong These were the pizzerias that won a place on the podium, but they are not the only ones, in fact there are also excellent pizzerias around the whole Asia like in Japan and Malaysia. It should also be said that among the 10 best pizzerias in Asia there are also two pizzerias in Vietnam, respectively in Hanoi and in HCMC, of which the Italians are very proud. The main objective for all restaurateurs remains to use high quality raw materials, and above all at zero km, in order to allow the consumer to always enjoy an excellent pizza. Restaurateurs abroad try to keep the traditional Neapolitan pizza alive but many others are trying to differentiate themselves in the pizza market, pushing themselves to produce gourmet creations and with typical local products.

LABELS

Considering the great importance that Italy gives to the quality of its agricultural and food product, it is no surprise that the country, alongside the European Union, has acted to protect its products from counterfeits and copies. Therefore, two different labels were created to ensure the quality and the geographical indication of the ingredients commonly used on pizza. By geographical indication it is meant: “A distinctive sign used to identify a product as originating in the territory of a particular country, region or locality where its quality, reputation or other characteristic is linked to its geographical origin.”
