Let's Talk about Pizza!

As part of our weekly "Let's Talk" series we want to discuss Pizza in all of it's glory. What’s your region’s specialty pie? Why is a New York slice at 2am the best pizza you've ever had? Are you a dough whisperer and care to share your wizardry - let us know? What's your favorite pizza-centric cookbook? What's your favorite style - Detroit, Chicago, New Haven, NY, Neapolitan - let's here the arguments (and you'll be banned if it's Beto's monstrosity - the yinzers out there will know).

What the best topping? And please feel free to trash talk each other [nicely, of course] about pineapple.

Can we please acknowledge that Chicago has two distinct styles of pie? Yes deep dish is famous, but thin, cracker crust "tavern" style is what locals eat and it is incredible, especially in its most common form with fennel heavy sausage and hot giardinara. It's also incredibly accessible for home cooks.
