Here is a summary of the passage:
Chili peppers, or chiles, contain a chemical called capsaicin. That chemical is what makes chiles seem hot. Receptors in our mouths sense capsaicin. The same receptors tell us when foods like pizza are too hot to eat. I don't like spicy foods, but I do like to eat pizza. You can find the best pizza in Italy.

No, this is not a good summary of the passage. The summary should capture the main points of the passage, but this summary only includes a mention of chili peppers and their connection to capsaicin. It does not mention the fact that capsaicin is responsible for the spiciness of chiles, nor does it include any information about receptors or the comparison to pizza. Additionally, the statement about finding the best pizza in Italy is unrelated to the rest of the passage and seems out of place in the summary.
