I ate about two dozen pizzas in Italy in the past decade, everywhere from Milan to Palermo and they were mostly "meh". One in Venice was exceptionally good, the rest were mediocre, and a couple of them were bad (as in, I only ate a couple of slices to satisfy my hunger and asked for the check). I tried fancy restaurants as well as small family joints. I gave up on the whole thing, these days, I only order pizza in Italy as a last resort.
