LIST: 8 Restaurants Offering Unique Pizzas Worth a Slice or More
As the world continues to debate whether pineapples have the right to stay atop pizzas, there is no denying that this flat, opened-face baked pie still proves to be one of the most satisfying eats globally.
From being a yeast-based flat bread flavored with only tomatoes to being the pizza we know of today, this Italian delicacy has been innovated and modified through time, proving that it is more than just a shower of cheese and pepperonis.
And since we don’t want you to just settle with your usual pizza, without further a-dough (pun intended), here are 8 restaurants in and out of Metro offering unique flavors of pizza.
