It has been 23 years since I have been home to Gubbio in Italy. It is a sad fact that as time inevitably progresses, memories fade in the same fashion. I was losing touch with the sights, smells, tastes and essence of my home, my heart. As I trudged out of the Armstrong Gun (another great establishment), after drowning my sorrows over my waning cultural identity, I stumbled upon The Village Pizza. I ordered a small pepperoni pizza and thought nothing much of it. Then came the taste test. As that first cheesy, tomatoey bite hit my mouth I felt like a plant being rehydrated. I could feel...

I get a knock on the door with a delivery and it’s cold pizza. Totally...
