The author explains to the reader about the pizza scene in San Juan.
“In late 2020, my husband and I began to see seemingly endless posts on Instagram of a food truck turning out wood-fired pizzas in Santurce, a neighborhood in San Juan, Puerto Rico near where we live. There was a classic Margherita pie with fresh mozzarella on it, another with a cacio e pepe sauce, and a special topped with burrata that oozed out over the crust when cut into. One was dotted with little cups of pepperoni. They were straightforward—and isn’t that what one wants most in a classic Neapolitan pie? Of course, we placed an order. I chose the pomodoro, a cheeseless pizza dotted with thinly sliced fresh garlic. The pie was everything a pizza should be: simple, elegant marinara, a balance of garlic, basil, and earthy rosemary, and a crisp yet chewy crust. The man responsible for these pies is Ángel Rosario, Fidela’s owner. Since I first tasted his pomodoro, the pizza scene in San Juan has exploded.”
