was at the center of controversy for weeks and is now on the VIP table. Flavio Briatore’s pizza continues to be the talk of the town, this time receiving the compliments of Michelle Hunziker and Aurora Ramazzotti. And if, on the one hand, mother and daughter praise Crazy Pizza (the Briatore chain), on the other hand, Benedetta Parodi sides with master pizza maker Gino Sorbillo, proud advocate of pizza at popular prices. The two had been arguing for the past few weeks. It all started with a few statements by Flavio Briatore that his Crazy Pizza would command high prices because of their quality (15 euros for a margherita, 65 euros for a pata negra). Criticized, Briatore then upped the dose by questioning the goodness of the products used by those who bake and sell for 4/5 euros. In response, a crowd had gathered in Naples at the historic Sorbillo ai Tribunali pizzeria to demonstrate against what many described as a provocation by the Piedmont entrepreneur. You say cheap pizza isn’t good? Here’s how we do it and the ingredients are these: try it and tell me, as Gino Sorbillo, spokesman for those who consider pizza a national food, said. In the past few days, the Piedmontese entrepreneur had also attacked Neapolitan pizza: it is not true that Neapolitan pizza is eaten all over the world. And even if it was invented in Naples, the others have improved it with different tastes: one can invent something and the others can modify and improve it. Words that had also triggered the world of social media. Lots of tweets, stories and posts accusing the former Formula 1 team manager of not knowing much about pizza and food in general. The diatribe then ended on Raiuno by Bruno Vespa, at Porta a Porta. Briatore had reiterated the need to create a brand that would export the real Italian pizza all over the world. A suggestion that Sorbillo also met with approval. Controversy aside, several celebrities have decided to try the discord’s two pizzas. And apparently both Briatores and Sorbillos were valued. Let’s see from who.
