Pizza on a Whim

In France, one wouldn't think that pizza wouldn't be very popular with all that fine cusine who would eat pizza. However around here it is quite the opposite with a dozen pizza places ready to deliver to your front door. We have gotten quiet accustom to the pizza here with a thinner cust, less sauce, and more veggie toppings, and enjoy regularly trying diffrent types.
Pizza is one of the few foods in France that is fast and almost American, and for this reason I didn't really appreciate it, until last week.
We invited some friends to watch a movie in our mini-cinema the other day. The time was set for 7, a good time we thought to watch a movie on a work night. When our friends arrived we were hanging out wating for everyone to be here when they started asking what we were doing for dinner. Dinner? This is a movie night, not dinner. So scrambling to figure out what we were going to eat, the natural solution was something quick and easy... like pizza. So it was that one of us ran to town to grab a couple of pizzas. Pizza and movies go hand in hand where I come from but I guess no so in France. They thought it was so cool to have a vrai american pizza night.
Who would have thought that Pizza would be the highlight of a dinner to a group of real francais.
