Have you been dreaming of that pizza margherita that you thought you left forever in Rome? Have you gone to a thousand Italian restaurants attempting to actualize your phantasmical whims? Don't give up now! The University News has finally discovered the perfect cure for Rome sickness, or for anyone who wants to discover the taste of true Italian pizza. Cavalli Pizza, the self-proclaimed first and only certified Neopolitan pizzeria in Texas, is the place that can sate your taste buds and your nostalgia. This family-owned joint cooks their pizzas in the classic Italian style, in a wood-burning stove that gets up to 800 degrees. Their dough is home-made right there in a massive mixing bowl, and the sauce comes from delicious San Marizano tomatoes. The dangerously low prices range from $6-10 for a scrumptious single pizza. Take your pick from the classic margherita, to bianca, rossa, Naples or, my favorite, the pesto chicken; they are all made from fresh ingredients for a taste of perfection. You pay when you order and the pizzas are brought out to your table, which we discovered makes it easy to accommodate over 30 people easily. In addition, Cavalli has amazing antipastas, insalates and desert pizzas, such as the scrumptious Nutella pie. Some native Italians also frequent Cavalli, always a good sign, and we asked them how they thought it compared to the real deal. Alessio Apostol said: "La pizza oli Cavalli i molto buone per essere fatal in USA oli souta portzoppo i nostri pizza oli hanno una cultura della pizza che dura ela anni. Il voto i 7/10." Roughly translated, they said that the pizza was very good for having been made in the United States and that they gave it a seven out of 10. There you have it: this place is as authentic as you can get without loafing around Rome, wishing you were still a sophomore.
