I don't like the thin crusted ones either. I know this is blasphemous but I think the Americans have taken the pizza and made it better than it ever was. <BR/>My post today is about the Culinary Institute of America and my son had a pizza there. The crust was wonderful but the filling was "unique" to say the least. Thai-style barbecue chicken pizza.
