BoooOOOOooooo!!!!!
I have to tell this funny story that happened when I was in London.
Me and my wife wanted pizza so we decided that we would try a pizza place that was right down the street. I looked at the menu and saw the American pizza. I looked to see what was on it and it. I can't remember all that was on it but one of the ingredients was chili. In America chili is a mixture of beans, beef, tomatoes, and plenty of spices including cumin, and chili powder. When I ordered I told the guy that I have lived in America all my life and I have never seen chili on a pizza.
Anyway I decided to order a normal cheese pizza. In London, at least from what I saw pizza has a very, very thin crust. The guy asked me if I wanted tomatoes on my pizza. I said no. He looked at me pretty strange and said ok.
He then came back and said "Do you want any sauce on it?" I said yes. He laughed and said that was what he meant when he asked about the tomatoes. He then said that if he made it without tomatoes it would be just cheese on a cracker.

When we make it, we usually put fried onions and garlic on it. Plus the required sauce and cheese. When we're at the pizza place up the street, we usually get 1/2 Hawaiian (for my daughter) and the other half is usually eggplant (breaded and fried strips). Like most cheap neighborhood pizza places in CT, the place is run by Greeks. Their Greek pizza, with feta, olives, tomatoes, and some seasonings, is pretty awesome. But it costs a couple bucks more and we usually go for the eggplant.

Probably the best pizza I've ever had was when I was home in Germany and we went to this pizza place. This place was a real Italian shop, Italians speaking Italian and making real Italian pizza. Somehow, it was so simple, yet soooo good. One of the things that often gets overlooked is the crust. To most people the crust is just kind of there to hold the tomato sauce and the cheese. Let me tell you, the crust on this pizza was so good that you could have eaten it plain, it wasn't that cracker nonsense, and it wasn't that droopy Dominos nonsense, it was right imbetween: not crispy and not floppy. Then, it wasn't doused in tomato sauce either, nor in cheese. When I first heard the concept I thought "Bah! Humbug! The sauce is where it's at!" But folks, let me tell ya... There was no way you'd EVER need to worry about that "crust left over beyond the sauce and cheese point" nonsense. I can't explain it enough to really get people to understand how good it was, but if any of you gets the chance to eat real, authentic Italian pizza then for the love of all that is good, EAT IT. And no, by authentic I don't mean a tombstone that has "authentic" slapped somewhere on its plastic covering. Wow... Thinking about it, I feel like Alan Alda in that episonde of M*A*S*H whith Adam's Ribs.
I mean, that pizza was just so darn good. Oh well, in any case, it seems like for most of us, making pizza ourselves is the best way to go. Making my own pizza is definitly the 2nd best I've had. And Jim, if I'm ever in NYC and not being mugged, I'll buy some pizza.
OOH! And you guys! Hear me out on this one: you need to try (canned) tuna on pizza. DO IT! We do it when we make pizza ourselves ( which is very infrequently,
) and it is dern good! Well, so until someone assaults my lovely memories of having awesome pizza while at home with all of my lovely Kraut family, think about what I've told you.
--Added note about tuna: Only dolphin safe. Never eat Bluefin tuna... This makes me feel like starting a threat on fishies and which ones are safe to eat.... Hmmm...

You can skip NYC and go straight to Long Island (pronounced: Lawn-guy-lind), land of perpetual suburbia, for the same good pizza.[b said:Quote[/b] (Est @ May 30 2005,2:24)]And Jim, if I'm ever in NYC and not being mugged, I'll buy some pizza.OOH!

Tuna fish? Believe-it-or-not, in an act of creative desperation, I tried that.
