Thin crust or regular crust..none of that stuffed crust, yuck! Pepperoni, ham, sausage, bacon...sometimes pineapple and ham only.

Deep dish is too greasy

I enjoy it many ways.

Margarita is good.

Basil, spinach and garlic is also excellent.

Sometimes mushrooms and pepperoni is what I want.

Yup, that's the type i'm talking about, I didn't know it more of a New England thing though. They also seem to use a different type of cheese in their cheese blend as well.

The Gotham - Pepperoni, Mushrooms, Sausage, Green Peppers, Ground Beef and Onions. (all Moose's fault)

Or...

Pepperoni and Mushroom

And I figure it is so rare when I have pizza anymore, I try and get thin crust, just so it is less carbs than the yummy and nommy crusts.

My preferences change, and I rarely eat the stuff any more, but to be honest, I've not met a pizza I didn't like.

Last slice I had was at the Whole Foods lunch bar. Thin, dry, crispy crust with light layer of red sauce, and some fresh chunks of mozzarella, tomatoes, garlic and red onion.

So yeah, this thread became a reality.

Got a large, red top, extra mushroom pizza from Charlie's Pizza last night.

Yummy last night and to be yummy once again this afternoon for lunch.

There's probably not much difference in carb density between a thin crust and a hand tossed crust or pan crust, as the major difference between the three is the degree of leavening.

Your post has inspired me to find a greek-owned pizzeria that makes a Gyro pizza. I don't know why, but that sounds delicious right now.

While I wholeheartedly agree with the preference for thin crust over what Pizza Hut serves up as "deep dish", I've found that the Chicago Style Deep Dish served by our local pizza place is a completely different matter altogether.
Taamar and I usually get this with sausage and mushroom:

And what did I say? You're already halfway there with your "sauce on top" mumblings. We'll convert you, yet!

I will never convert!

The red top is just a normal pizza with the application of the toppings reversed. Additionally, I think they use a little more sauce than they normally do. The end result is a thin crust (Very non-doughy) pizza that is more 'juicy' than cheesy. Not a lot of grease and the crust is nothing like the non-pizza abomination pictured in Shel's post above.

Much H8 for the deepdish pizza crust. It is like a terrible oily greasy bread. Doesn't classify as a pizza in my book.

Now, I'll grant you that the crust isn't what I eat Chicago style for (that honor goes to the delicious helping of cheese and chunky sauce and big, filling topping ratio), but a true Chicago style crust shouldn't really be greasy; it should be flaky. I still find it a bit too dry, but I overlook that to get a shot at the rest of the delicious pizza when I get the opportunity.

That.


Really that doesn't even resemble a pizza to me, it does look like something closer to a pie than a pizza.

I've suggested this before, don't know if anyone took me up on the suggestion. But if you like a thin-crust pizza with a nice smoky flavor, you must try grilling your pizza. They make a margherita pizza in this video, but another good one is a Greek pizza (ingredients, not style). In fact, you don't even really need sauce - just a brushing of good olive oil, kalamata olives, slices tomatos, feta, and maybe some pepperoni. Most people say a pizza made like this is the best they've ever had.

I had my leftover pizza with the aformentioned Tabasco sauce and a heaping helping of jalapeno slices I found in the fridge at work leftover from a catered meeting yesterday.

THATS....a spicy meat-a-ball.

Now shut your pie-hole and take a closer look at this crust. This is not oily or greasy. Go ahead, LOOK at it before continuing further with your brainwashed hatemongering.

If that image isn't large enough for you to be able to detect that it isn't a greasy, oily Pizza Hut crust ... try these:

You wanna hate on oily crusts, please feel free to do so; but don't go labeling all deep-dish crust as such, cuz it just ain't so.

Shame you don't have any decent pizza places nearby... the good ones don't have ANY oil on the deep dish crusts. The oiliest pizzas I've ever had have been the NY folding slices.

Well, the only one Oonagh and I had was crap. Really gave us a bad taste for deepdish "pizza". I will have to try and find a place that does it better than the one we had.

Just when I want pizza, deepdish is not what comes to mind. It's more of a tomato and topping potpie. Pizza to me will always be NY style.
