The following is the telephone interview content with Nei Hu Alleycat’s owner, Miss Chang (以下為與Alleycat’s內湖店店長張家慧小姐的電訪內容)

1. Does your cooking have some of the tastes and flavors of home cooking?

Ans：Even though Alleycat’s sells Italian Pizza, its sauce and seasoning ingredients are imported from New Zealand, Italy and the U.S. The taste of Alleycat’s pizza is quite similar to that of American pizza, and people have different preference for the type of crust in the east and west regions. In comparison, the Italian version is simpler, usually with one or two kinds of pizza for costumers to choose from.

雖然Alleycat’s是賣義大利披薩，但它的香料與調味料是從紐西蘭、義大利與美國進口。此外，Alleycat’s 披薩口感與美式披薩十分相近，而且人們對於餅皮厚度的偏好也依東西部地區而有所不同，不過義式披薩比起美式披薩口味較簡單，只有一兩種選擇。
