Pizza in Haidian

Chinese people really don't eat a lot of dairy, no cheese, no milk. It's been about a week, and we're all starting to miss cheese. You can find it, just not in every restaurant.

We went to lunch a few days ago at a local pizza place, The Cat's Eye. It came recommended by a Chinese roommate, and we thought with a pleasant english name like the Cat's Eye, maybe we'd find some pleasant english speakers and some American music. We found those things, and the restaurant was fairly western, western music, western writing on the walls, and no one spoke English. Not even a bit. The booths were packed with young university students, who seemed to enjoy the music and liked smothering their pizza in ketchup (Yes, ketchup, not tomato sauce) and we still had to point at things on the munu or frantically search through our phrase book for a little help with our communication.

But was the pizza good at least? I mean, sans ketchup.
