* not just a pizza with figs
Expression USED On Occasion BY Some people
Used to indicate that something is not cheap, trivial or simple, but actually special in some way. Pizza and figs were typically cheap lower-class foods, so something not being pizza with figs means that it is not lower-class.
"Ha un dottorato in astrofisica, mica pizza e fichi!"
"She has a PhD in astrophysics, not just a mere pizza with figs!"
