I do love to read you all talking about it though, yes I do. I shall blame the patriarchy for it though it is probably not at fault it has committed so many other felonies lately one more won't make any difference. I, I do not eat teh pizza, no, blech.

Meat pies AND deep-fried pizza, yum! Grace - I believe the 'pizza', originally, was not much more than a slice of bread; the tomatoes and cheese came later. I've made this sort of 'simple' pizza a few times: you make your own dough, and top it with an onion puree, olives, and some olive oil. It's delicious. I must admit, I have mixed feelings about pizza with melted cheese. Sure, it can be delicious, but it's easy to put on too much cheese. And if you load the pizza with ten different sorts of veggies and twenty different sorts of meat, then it turns into a tasteless mush. The best pizza I've had in Australia is at Cordobes pizza, on King Street, Newtown - that's an inner-city suburb of Sydney. Arianna, Kat - it sounds like Scotland does everything right!

It's all right if what you're in the mood for is an 8-pound casserole of tomato-y cheese, but you can't fold it in half and eat it with one hand, now can you?

I still haven't found a place here that serves a good NY slice. Here in Chicaaago, king of deep-dish “pizza” and god-awful accents, my friends have labeled me a heretic for my NY-pizza preference.

This foodstuff (I use the term loosely) is a sentimental favorite of locals who grew up eating it (presumably because their parents were too poor to afford real food), but can in no way be construed as pizza. It is in fact a sheet of cardboard covered with a molten plastic they call "provel cheese" (never mozzarella!) which cauterizes the human tongue and bonds chemically to the teeth. I would rather die screaming than come within 10 yards of one of those things. Thus: "St. Louis-style" pizza, which, even when it doesn't come from the repellent Imo's, is a large burnt matzoh cracker topped with flavorless tomato paste, fake cheese, and rubbery sausage, cut into rectangles. Avoid it at all costs, is my advice. There is real pizza in St. Louis, though. Interested parties may find an edible slice of the NY school at Racanelli's in the CWE.

Oddly enough, there are many who agree that despite having invented it, the Italians don't really have a clue how to make pizza. For example, they put whole onions on it. Yuck. And pardon my looking down my nose at y'all, but you Do Not Know Pizza until you have tasted the pies baked on 700 degree brick ovens in my hometown, New Haven, CT, official home of the Best Pizza in the World. http://modernapizza.com/ There are two other pizzerias that claim to be the best (Sally's and Pepi's) but Modern is It. You have not lived until you have managed to survive the line on Saturday night to get a table for ten to feed all your ravenous friends who have just helped you move, and your 12-year-old sister who is crying because the Red Sox traded Nomar, and the only thing keeping you from gnawing your own arm off is the thought of an extra-mozz mushroom-and-sausage pizza with the orange grease you blot off with a paper napkin and the burnt bits of the crust that get all over your clothes.
