What is Italian style mozzarella?
Mozzarella is essentially spun paste obtained from the curd. The paste is then cut off (in Italian, “mozzata”) and modeled in different shapes – rounded, braided or in bite-sized “bocconcini.”
Do Italians use low moisture mozzarella?
In modern Italy, they do have mozzarella that is reduced in moisture and formed into solids or even cut up into small pieces, ready to be put onto a pizza for melting. This cheese also has a longer shelf-life with refrigeration than other types of mozzarella.

What is the difference between American pizza and Brazilian pizza?
One of the main differences between American and Brazilian pizza is the crust.

Do people eat pizza in Brazil?
Before 1950, pizza was eaten nearly exclusively by Brazilians of Italian descent who mainly lived in Sao Paulo, but since then, it’s become a national favorite, albeit with a Brazilian accent. These days, restaurants in Brazil often serve pizza rodiozio- style, or all-you-can-eat.
What does pizza taste like in other countries?
Although you can find pizza almost anywhere you travel, it probably won’t taste like what you’re used to in the United States. For example, in Brazil, the crust, sauce, and toppings vary depending on the local cuisine and preferences, and anything served on a slice of flatbread qualifies as pizza.
