December meme: Pizza

[personal profile] terrio got a December 2 request in with enough time for me to answer it, so:

What is your Platonic Ideal pizza? toppings, crust, deep-dish vs. flat, etc.

Heee, I wasn't actually expecting a pizza question.

I don't eat pizza that often anymore, but when I do, it's flat, thin crust; the crust should be a vehicle for the toppings, not in competition with them. If I have my druthers I tend toward white pizzas, usually chicken and broccoli. My favorite is Bertucci's Silano -- Bertucci's is overpriced and overhyped, but my god I love this pizza. It's chicken and broccoli with mozzarella and a lemon cream sauce. It's the sauce that makes it so awesome. The one (huge) downside is that Bertucci's won't deliver. And I'm lazy when it comes to pizza; I want it to come to me. *g* So this is a rare treat.

When I'm with a group that's just getting a few basic pizzas to share, I go for pepperoni, nice and simple.

Beyond those, I'm okay with various meat pizzas, but no fish, no fungus, and mostly no vegetables (or fruit -- I don't like pineapple, not even with ham). I'll eat plain cheese, too, if it comes to it, but once I discovered I liked pepperoni as a kid, plain cheese got boring. (Unless it's an english-muffin pizza! Those are in a class of their own.)

dammit, now I want english-muffin pizza.

Full meme request list here, still open
