We recently checked in with the folks at Modernist Cuisine in Bellevue where they take their work very seriously. For four years, they've been on a quest to write the definitive guide on the world's most popular food — pizza.

500 experiments performed
250 pizzerias visited
We were invited to the lab where head chef Francisco Migoya taught us the best way to top a Roman pizza.
