I think there is a perfect meal
That satisfies all tastes
Savoury and flavourful
Once served none goes to waste
(It's birth goes back to ancient times
Derived from panis focacius
Those Romans really knew their stuff
To me it’s panis delicious!)
Pizza by any other name
Would still taste mighty fine
If it’s served I’ll order it
No matter where I dine
Though many cannot help themselves
And complicate this food
Be prudent with ingredients
A deft hand makes it good
A yeasty base is crucial for
A dish that can’t be beat
Baked in oven hot with wood
It beckons one to eat
Thick or thin the choice is yours
Essential is that crust
Crispy on the bottom though
Is a culinary must
The sauce is also critical
The fruit picked in its prime
San Marzano tomatoes make
This element sublime
Fresh the cheese should always be
A supple ball of white
Glistening in that sea of red
It stirs the appetite
Not much more is needed now
Except fresh basil torn
Drizzled with some olive oil
It’s food in finest form
Pizza Margherita is
A dish that you must try
Flawless sustenance this is
I'll eat until I die!
