São Paulo

Brazilian

More cheese than seems legal

São Paulo takes pizza personally. The mozzarella comes in a thick, stretching blanket. Broccoli, palmito, catupiry, a sweet dessert pizza after. It is not a topping so much as a climate.

Speranza in Bexiga is the old Italian-Brazilian room. Braz and the newer names made it a national sport. Brazil has more pizzerias than almost anyone. The pie is why.
