The good delicious pizza you can’t resist.
It gives you the appetite to eat the dish.
So cheesy you could eat the slice.
You want a beverage with some ice.

The Caesar wants it.
The Caesar likes it.
He says, "Italian Pizza is delicious!"
He says, "I want some of this!"

Second Place:
Italy
By Benjamin Castillo

Italy is a world of variety education.
The Renaissance man was never on vacation.
Reading, writing, poetry and art,
The Italian gentleman did all this with heart.

Third Place:
Italy Is Beautiful
By Ruben Morales

Italy is beautiful near the fountain.
Italy has romance under trees.
Italy is a place of love.
You can go to Italy for lots of things.
