00:00Hi there, my name's Will Atherton and I'm a reporter at the Lancashire Post.
00:06And today we're going to be talking to the people of Preston about all things pizza.
00:10We're in Preston talking about pizza. Can I just ask you first of all, what's your favourite type of pizza?
00:16Meat Feast.
00:17Meat Feast. And what's the best pizza you'd say you've ever had?
00:22It's probably from my local.
00:25So, erm...
00:28Philosophical Kebab House. Definitely.
00:31If that place is not open I refuse to have a takeout pizza.
00:34You realise when you go to Italy just how almost westernised we've made...
00:38As much as I love Meat Feast, when you go to Italy it is cheese and mushrooms.
00:46There's no multiple toppings. It is cheese and something.
00:52It's completely different. The crust is completely different.
00:57And would you say their pizza is better than ours?
01:02Yes.
01:07You can tell that that's actually how pizza's meant to be.
01:10Whereas we've obviously doubled down on almost the unhealthiness.
01:15So, what's your favourite type of pizza?
01:18I'd probably go for a pepperoni.
01:20Pepperoni. And where's the best place that you've found to get pizza?
01:24I would probably go...
01:27Probably my local one as well.
01:30And whereabouts is that?
01:31That's in Britain. Just outside of Bordeaux.
01:34Brilliant. And have you ever been into Italy?
01:37I have been to Italy.
01:38And would you say their pizza's better than ours?
01:41It's different. It's thinner. It's just different.
01:50It's like comparing apples and oranges.
01:54Ours is very westernised. Well, Americanised.
01:58New York Americanised with lots of toppings and different bases.
02:02Whereas Italy is very thin crust.
02:05Do you reckon Preston's a good place to get pizza?
02:08Yeah, Preston in general, yeah. Pizza's good in Preston.
02:11You can get franchise pizza. You can get independent pizza.
02:15What's your favourite type of pizza?
02:17Meat feast.
02:18And what in particular do you like about meat feast?
02:21I like the variety of toppings that it offers and they all go very well together.
02:27When was the last time you ate pizza?
02:29Three days ago.
02:30Would you say that Italian style pizza or American style pizza is better?
02:35American style pizza.
02:37And why is that?
02:38I prefer the thicker and chewier dough, the Italian.
02:44Where's your favourite place in Preston to get pizza?
02:47Firewater's my favourite place.
02:49I like the toppings. They're all really fresh and the dough's nice and crispy.
