  • A Whole New Meaning for a Stuffed Crust Pizza


    Travel alert:  If you're planning on going to Naples, IT anytime soon, perhaps you should stay away from their pizza.

    It's been reported that the owners of thousands of pizza shops and bakeries in the southern Italy city may have used wood from caskets to keep ovens burning. 

    Because Neapolitan pizzas are traditionally supposed to be baked in stone brick ovens with an oak-wood fire, pizza parlor owners and bakers are suspected to have purchased and lined their ovens with wood purchased from the thieves and grave robbers who steal USED caskets from local cemeteries.  Obviously the local gangs who run the businesses entice the merchants with significantly lower priced wood than what they would normally pay for wood that, you know, you'd chop off a tree.

    This report made me gag a little in my mouth.  What do you think of this whole affair?
