It casts the same spell as pizza. You'd have a hard time finding someone who doesn't really enjoy it. It even works on people who don't generally like salads.

That's an incredibly American take IMO. Pizza is loved worldwide... Caesar salad?! Where are the famous Caesar salad global chains? I don't think it's much of a thing in Europe, at least.

Maybe not margheritta pizza. But every culture that makes bread has a flatbread with topping and spices popped in the oven dish.

(In fact I believe it was archaeologically found to exist in some or another form for the longest time ...)
