Pepperoni is no more required than any other topping.
I might be the only one in this world who doesn’t really like pepperoni pizza. When it comes to meat, I’m a chunks of Italian sausage kind of guy.
Pizza is Food of the Gods.
I love all kinds, thick or thin. As long as it’s quality. Anyone who buys a Little Ceasar’s “pizza” for $5 is getting just what they paid for.
From Chicago I like Lou Malnati’s. The crust is crisp and buttery. The thing weighs in at about 1.5 lbs a slice. Freaking heaven!
Here in Cincinnati you can get a good thin pizza at Dewey’s. Although my favorite is from this little Swiss bakery called Jean Paul’s Paradiso. Absolutely fantastic.
Damn, I need pizza!
Lou Malnati’s gets points for sounding a lot like “Illumanati’s”.
I like it all at times, but generally thick crust for me. I’ve had a few pizzas with thick crunchy greasy crust that were just delicious.
That is some yummy looking onion bread.
And here’s some yummy looking clam bread, too. 
Thin crust with extra cheese on it. By thick, I am thinking the Italian style pizza. By thin, I am thinking like pizza hut style. If you are referring to extra thin pizzas, then I prefer medium-to-thin pizza with extra cheese on it.
By “Italian style” do you mean Sicilian? Or perhaps Italian bakery pizza? What I think of as “Italian style” is a thin crust Neapolitan or similar pizza, cooked in a wood-fired oven.
I am referring to the extra thick crust pizza I got when I went to an Italian restaurant & ordered (yes, I believe it was wood oven, but the crust thickness is irrelevant to oven, isn’t it). It was not disgusting, but it tasted bad (a heavy taste & texture with bread) compared to regular (by this, I mean American) pizza. I’ve never seen a thin crust pizza from an Italian restaurant neither in real life nor on TV. That’s also traditional in Italy? Thought they only had a thick crust pizza.
This is just wrong.
Huh, that’s odd. Google image search “Italian style pizza.” I think of what you see here under “traditional Italian style pizza” as to what I think of when I hear “Italian style pizza” with no further qualifiers. There are many styles of pizza in Italy, though.
No, it’s all sorts of right and on my bucket list. I haven’t been to Sally’s in New Haven yet, but I will before I die. I had a local version of clam pizza (with bacon) and it was one of the better pizzas I’ve had. If I had it on that sort of coal-fired crust, I have no doubt it’d be one of my top five pizzas ever.

I googled. Look like the Italian pizzas I have seen. Thick crust.
Yeah, they have a thin crust pizza in Italy today. Did they have it traditionally though? I am sure they also have corn dogs & cola now.
I just googled some images, & I am changing my taste from medium-to-thin to extra-thin pizza. I googled some pictures with thick crust pizza that I have never seen before. Thin crust pizza seems to refer to thick crust pizza. The extra thin crust pizza I like is not even an option here it seems.
Then you are getting different results than I am. The crust is puffy around the edges, but it’s thin everywhere else. Did you check out the link I provided?
Whoops. Looks like my 17-month-old got to my computer.
Probably the style of pizza most associated with Italy is Neapolitan pizza, with the pizza Margherita being the most famous of these. That specific pizza goes back to 1889.
I should have said “non-puffy-edge” pizza or something. What you refer to as thin crust pizza, I am thinking thick crust pizza. What google refers to as thick crust pizza, I’ve never seen them before. I prefer extra thin pizza like the one you get when you order thin crust.
Ah. When I think of thick crust, I think of pan pizza or something like this. Neapolitan pizza is generally pretty thin except for the edges. So thin that it doesn’t hold its shape when you pick up a slice, and often a knife and fork is needed to eat it.
I have never seen a thick crust pizza before in my life then. Just the puffy-edge pizzas & thin-edge pizzas. I don’t like the puffiness. I like the thin-edge thin crust pizza.
Hey, I like this forum. Great when you are bored. Also, a useful fact. Although I doubt I would like a thick crust pizza, I want to try at least once. Looks like it holds more toppings & cheese or something.
