Pizza

While the main research focus in the lab is phonetics, we also have a long-standing research project exploring pizza places (this is not a serious research project but is almost as much fun as phonetics!). On this page, we document our pizza adventures. Below are links to each blog post and a map of all the pizza places we’ve had the privilege to sup (that we can remember).

Scoring: The goal is to keep this simple. Each place we visit is scored on a 1-10 scale, with 10 indicating a place where the pizza is so good that we would be tempted to set up shop in the restaurant and 1 indicating a place that we probably wouldn’t return to. We also indicate the type of crust.

After reading that it is run by Michelin star chef Jordi Vilà and award-winning fifth-generation bread-maker Xevi Ramon, they were even higher. I ordered the “pizza mil dimonis” (Pizza of a thousand demons), and it may… Read more: Mucho Pizzeria Barcelona
