New rules on pizza to be introduced
Italian officials want new rules on how big a pizza should be and how hot it's cooked, before being allowed to use the name.
Department of Agriculture officials say they want to clamp down on so-called "pizza pirates".
In order to be labelled a pizza, it must be three millimetres thick in the middle, have a one to two centimetre thick crust and have been cooked at 450 degrees centigrade.
The diameter should not exceed 35 centimetres.
The ministry says the rule is part of a one million pound PR exercise and say they have signed up inspectors to check kitchens.
The Italians will also investigate what action can be taken under trading standards laws in different countries against restaurants serving food from the homeland it regards as not being up to scratch.
I think I know what a pizza is :teehee:
