I'm sure I've said in other pizza fight threads, but I like both American style and Italian style pizzas - they just satiate very different desires. Also I'm not sure why people keep saying "this is what Brits think about pizza" when all the identifiably British people on this thread have expressed a pretty wide variety of opinions.

however no red meat if at all possible, unless it's a very obviously meat-oriented pizza, which i probably won't have. i'm seafood friendly though

I ordered a Margherita a couple times when I first went to Italy, however I never ordered it at home until I married a vegetarian. It's now a go to if the place knows what it's doing.

You've never had slice of deep dish in Chicago, t/f

I understand the questionable appeal but I've had Chicago-style pizza in Chicago at several of the recommended places and it's just not my thing
― mh, Tuesday, 7 November 2017 16:41 (six years ago) link
I mean I rarely have it, for many reasons, but getting Peqoud's (w/the burnt cheese crust all around the cast-iron pan) once a year is worth it.

imo ideal pizza crust should be just thick enough to have a slightly crisp, browned underside and stable enough to convey all of the ingredients above to my mouth without use of utensils. slightly thicker crust is allowable but not preferred
― mh, Tuesday, 7 November 2017 16:43 (six years ago) link
that Pequods slice looks good, and also about half the thickness of the pizza I had in Chicago
― mh, Tuesday, 7 November 2017 16:44 (six years ago) link
That looks like it tastes like a salty pepperoni and nothing else.

One slice is a meal, two slices and you better not have anything else planned for the night, more than that and you're taking your life into your hands.
― change display name (Jordan), Tuesday, 7 November 2017 16:49 (six years ago) link
The ideal pizza crust must be one inch deep minimum, have a solid edge of carbonized cheese, and be both fluffy and crunchy. Sauce goes on top of the cheese.

My wife's favorite pizza ever is in central/south NJ called Federici's. They make extremely thin pizzas... the crust almost resembles a water cracker. One person can kill most of a whole large pie in one sitting.

Detroit-style pizza is built, from the bottom up, like so: crust -> toppings -> cheese -> sauce
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Tuesday, 7 November 2017 17:04 (six years ago) link
That sauce-on-cheese pizza looks surprisingly good. Still feels wrong, though.
I like eggs a lot but I'm super fussy about what they're allowed to go with/touch on a plate. You could say I'm an... egg-regationist.

The egg should be put in raw and baked with the rest of the pizza (or added halfway through), sticking a fried egg on a pizza is bullshit.

I'm a big fan of pizza bianca, which is really just a delicious big flat bread with olive oil, salt and rosemary. Was turned on to it by Sullivan Street Bakery, whose Jim Lahey offered this legendary recipe:
Jim Lahey’s Pizza BiancaSullivan Street BakeryMakes two long pizzas3 cups all-purpose flour1 teaspoon salt3/4 teaspoon sugar1 teaspoon instant dry yeast3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil1 sprig fresh rosemary1. Combine flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, sugar, and yeast in the bowl of an electric mixer, and slowly add 1 cup cold water. Mix on low speed until ingredients begin to combine, increase speed to medium-high, and continue to mix for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth, elastic, and cleanly pulls away from the sides of the mixing bowl.2. Place dough in an oiled bowl, and allow to rest for 2 to 4 hours until it has doubled in size. Split the dough into halves, and form each into a log. Place each log on a generously floured surface, and allow it to rest until the formed dough doubles in size again, at least 1 hour.3. Put dough on a lightly floured baker’s peel. Dimple dough by pressing it down with your fingertips. Work the dough outward toward the edges of the peel until you reach your desired size and thickness, about 1/4 inch. Drizzle with remaining olive oil, rosemary and sprinkle with remaining salt.4. Place a baking stone, sometimes known as a pizza stone, in the oven. Set oven to broil, about 520 degrees. Slide pizza onto baking stone with the baker’s peel. Bake until the bubbles range from golden to deep brown in color, 10 to 12 minutes.
