Proposal to ban pizza in Russia Public figure Borodin called the Italian dish a symbol of foreign influence, noting that Italy is on the list of "unfriendly" countries. He called for a ban on the sale of pizza to school and university students, its removal from the menus of food establishments, and the elimination of the word "pizza" from brand names. As an alternative, Borodin suggests consuming traditional dishes from the various peoples of Russia, such as *kulebyaka* (a type of delicious pie) and *echpochmak* (triple meat pie).
