Len, the French have a saying “each person to his own taste”. I’m not saying Sorrento’s is bad…it’s just not what I think is great. Hey…people line up for Dominos Pizza…go figure…that has to be the worst. Do you really think Sorrento’s ranks up there with New York pizza? New York is the epicenter for great pizza.

You'd have peanut butter on a pizza but not sausage or mushroom? 🙂 Indeed, as the French say, "à chacun son goût" (to each, their own taste 🙂😋). Really nice to read what others enjoy on this thread. In general, I enjoy a good thin-crust pepperoni pizza. Or a quattro formaggi with Mozzarella, Parmesan, Romano, and Asiago cheeses. A few months ago, I had a transit in Chicago and tried a deep dish pizza and my tastebuds were not persuaded to switch alliance from thin-crust to deep dish. Over the years though, I've realized I crave some vegetables on my pizza. This came from an unplanned stacking of a piece of ultra meaty pizza (pepperoni, bacon, sausage) atop a deluxe vegetarian slice (onions, tomatoes, green peppers, green and black olives, mushrooms, grilled zucchinis and artichokes) resulting in a messy open-style calzone that had a great explosion of flavours.😋 These days, I enjoy experimenting and have enjoyed pesto, chicken and artichokes as toppings for my last 2 pizzas. I'm looking forward to returning to Rome next spring after a 3-decade absence to try the pizzas there. Perhaps my more mature palate will appreciate a good Margherita pizza now more than I did as teen. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CntPAcruiser Posted September 10, 2023 #31 Share Posted September 10, 2023 I suppose I'm a Philistine, but I do not understand the attraction of New York style pizza. My DH and I prefer a pizza "special," which in our home town is a thin-crust pizza with pepperoni, sausage, bacon, ham, peppers, mushrooms, and olives (we have them leave off the onions).

I was using it humorously, hopefully, in the general sense of being considered boorish or uncultured, since I expect declaring a dislike for New York style pizza can be considered a cultural attack in some circles. The word does generally refer to more cultured aspects of culture. Maybe I should have used troglodyte, though I've never lived in a cave either.

Rare Harters Posted September 11, 2023 #34 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Just out of interest, how (if at all) does a New York pizza differ from, say, a pizza in Italy (or other European countries)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is quite common to buy pizza by the slice in New York. They are large, floppy slices that are often eaten by folding them in half down the center. I find them flabby, greasy, and unappetizing. The pizza I've had in Italy is usually a thinner crust that is very well baked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this instance, they are welcome to it, and I'll enjoy what I like. If we really wanted this thread to blow up, we could mention a certain fruit that may or may not belong on pizza....
