| Having lived in Los Angeles,Sacramento and St. Louis. I've been to Chicago and NYC. I like deep dish and hand tossed but I gotta go with the NYC pizzas. Something about the large foldable slices. |

in the bay area we usually have sourdough crust which is more risen and bready than NY style but not nearly as much as deepdish, it's a very good style though good NYC thin is also great.. I don't like the cracker crust, tastes like I'm eating cardboard covered in sauce and cheese but ultimately I have to go with the kind you get in Rome, if that's what you mean by trad. Italian, so that's my vote |

when you were in L.A. did you ever go to Numero Uno ? they fry their crust in lard in cast iron skillets, very tasty |

Definitely New York. I've never understood those crazy Chicago people.

Yes. I'd hit them up when they used to have a lunch buffet. Mike's Pizza in Panorama City had some of the best pizza back in the 60's/70's. Awesome garlic rolls as well. |

fack, man, I have a friend whose parents make homemade hand-tossed pizza every friday night (of course, I'm there as often as possible :D) and it's the best pizza I've ever |

yeah homemade is almost always great, quite a bit of work though if you make the dough and sauce from scratch |

In Atlanta the best we've had is Athens Pizza House Greek Pizza. My wife is from New York and thinks Chicago style is heresy.  She's taken to making her own dough though...

Well Athens PH is owned by Greeks, you can get feta, gyro meat, kalamata olives on the pizza. Mmmmm. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

feta cheese is the greatest thing ever on pizza. Especially with spinach (which I otherwise don't really dig) |

The best pizza I have ever had is at Woody's Pizza and Tap in Boston. Man, I miss that place. If any of you are from Boston, go there and say hi to Rich for me.

1 Tortilla Pizza sauce Cheese Toppings Cook on 425 degrees F for 8-10 minutes. It's not the best, but it's college-level convenient and awesome. ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want! |

| Traditional Italian for sure. But New York City is damned good too. |

My own home-made four-cheese pizzas.

Whatever's available, but I prefer NYC I guess. The toppings are what make the pizza for me, pepperoni and jalapenos ROCK.

If you're going for a tortilla creation, use some Mexican toppings. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I prefer very thin pizza, crusty, like a cracker... no vegetables on it please. Just pepperoni, beef, and tomato sauce for me... (of course, with cheese....) -------------

Frutti di Mare or a good Calzone, so traditional Italian for me. Don't like the spongelike American varieties a lot, the crust should be crispy and thin....

I vote for the traditional Pizza della famiglia, although I like American-styled pizzas almost equally.
(However, the ones I like most are made by my daughter  ).-------------

| I just had some 'Escape from New York' pizza, meh, it pales compared to the real thing- my buddy from NY is convinced it's the water there that makes the big difference in the dough and sauce |

| Thin crust veggie (not a vegetarian. I just like it) or Hawaiian. I wish I had one now instead of the crappy fish sticks and box macaroni and cheese. |
