Pizza Round-up, Italy and Switzerland; Autumn, 2018
Warning: this post may make you want a pizza! Another trip is in the bag and a lot of pizza was eaten: 9 times in seven weeks! We used to eat pizza every week, as evidenced by the title of this blog. It has been two years since we followed the weekly habit but travel […]
