Eric's expression turned awkward when he saw her distaste to Italy, remembering that her time and the years past was more than a little intense when it came to Catholic and Protestant elements. So Rome probably wasn't the most liked place now. It also reminded him that technically he was what a person would call a 'lapsed Catholic', though he worked with people of all kinds of faiths and customs these days.

He paused before calling the Pizza place. "Technically it's from down the street, but I guess Pizza was invented in Italy... Rome. Look, it would be hard to get into a full explanation and I'm not a historian but... well, relations in Europe got better after your time. Well actually there was some seriously messed up stuff first but... well it's all behind us. I would explain it better but I'm not certain how wise it is to say. Trust me that Pizza is tasty and you would like it, ok?" He gave her a reassuring smile.
