You Didn’t Think You Were Getting REAL Mozzarella Cheese On That $5 Pizza, Did’ya?

You Didn’t Think You Were Getting REAL Mozzarella Cheese On That $5 Pizza, Did’ya?

I got a flyer in the mail the other day from one of the Top 3 pizza chains, advertising a ‘new’ line of designer pizzas, with, (of all things) 100% REAL Canadian Mozzarella cheese. Yes, it appears that they are now offering to put REAL mozzarella on their pizzas, but not for the usual $5 a pizza price, no. They are marketing this designer line of pizzas as ‘gourmet’ because they put REAL mozzarella on them, so they’re $8 each.
This is no surprise to us at Diana’s Gourmet Pizzeria, we’ve been educating people for years. The facts are that the top pizza chains are NOT using REAL mozzarella, they are using either soy or canola based imitation cheeses. One fellow came in on the weekend to pick up his pizza and asked if our pizzas had any transfats, (which they do not!) because he was disgusted to find out that the ’30 minute delivery place’ uses imitation cheese that are loaded with transfats.
I hate to say it, but it seems like a gimme in the twenty-first century, ‘You didn’t think you were getting REAL mozzarella cheese on that $5 Pizza, did’ya?’ If you really, truly did, then I have a bridge you might be interested in buying.
