  • 3
  • He called them "bricks of dough with a puddle of tomato."
  • 4
  • The kind of pizza that Briatore was criticizing is called the Neapolitan Margherita.

  • 7
  • UNESCO considers Neapolitan pizza making, or "Pizzaiuolo," an "intangible cultural heritage" of Italy.

  • 10
  • Chef Sergio Miccu, president of the Neapolitan pizza maker association, said Briatore had betrayed the pizza's heritage.

  • "Pizza has fed entire generations, overcoming...war and cholera," he said.
  • 12
  • Gino Sorbillo, one of Italy's most famous pizza chefs, also reacted publicly to Briatore's comments.

  • 16
  • Briatore owns restaurants that serve pizza that is very different from the classic Margherita.
  • 17
  • This pizza comes with many toppings and can cost as much as $68.
  • 18
  • Sorbillo suggested that Briatore should let his cooks prepare food next to Neapolitan chefs in his restaurants,
  • 19
