Dialogue
A: Você já notou que as pessoas que adoram pizza gostam de discutir essa questão da massa grossa ou fina.
B: Com certeza. Na verdade, eu sou uma delas. Eu absolutamente amo a massa mais fina do que grossa...
A: No meu caso, eu fui criado numa família que só pedia pizza de massa grossa. A pizza como deve ser...
B: Meus pais também eram assim, mas conforme fui crescendo, fui descobrindo que preferia fatias de massa fina.
A: Aê, Dona cabeça aberta.
B: Isso aí. E o pior é que até gosto de abacaxi na minha pizza.
A: Massa fina e abacaxi... não vai me dizer agora que também gosta de azeitonas na sua pizza!
B: Réu confesso, eu realmente gosto de azeitonas na minha pizza de massa fina.
A: Have you noticed that people who are really into pizza like to debate the whole thick versus thin crust argument?
B: I certainly have. In fact, I’m even one of them. I totally love thin crust way more than thick.
A: In my case, if I had to say it, I was raised in a family that only ordered thick crust pizza. It’s kind of the way it ought to be.
B: My parents were like that too, but the older I got, the more I found out that I prefer slices of thin-crust pizza.
A: Look at you Mrs. Expand-Your-Horizons!
B: I know. Even worse, I even like pineapple on my pizza.
A: Thin crust and pineapple, the next thing you know you’ll be saying that you’re going to add green olives on your pizza too!
B: Guilty as charged, I do like green olives on my thin crust pizza.
