Better ingredients, worse grasp of geography

Papa John's is selling a pair of new specialty pies that they're calling "Tuscan pizzas." So, fine. They sound tasty enough, one with a bunch of different cheeses and one with a couple different meats and fresh tomato.

That second one, though -- they're calling it the "Roma meats pizza." Now, I've never been to Italy, but I've watched enough Molto Mario to know that Italian regional cuisine is rather a big deal. And, see, Rome is kind of right in the middle there, and Tuscany is up above it. And based on what Mario has taught me, they're not interchangeable, and no Tuscan would put "Roma" in the name of his pizza.

Just sayin'.

All I know is that the maestro said there were no houses left in Tuscany. Maybe that's why the pie moved to Roma.
