Pizza style poll!

In Turkey they have something called pide. Think of it as a Turkish pizza. It has all the usual pizza toppings except pork or sausage. They do have a spiced beef sausage called sujuk, which is fantastic. Other meat can include spiced lamb. It usually comes as a single serving, only larger than what we would call a single serving , and is oval. The edges are usually folded in about an inc on top, and served sliced with cuts across the width. One unusual thing they put on top is a whole egg (before cooking, not after). Try it, it makes an incredible addition. Add salad and a beer, and you have a great meal. It gets my vote for the best style pizza.
Damn it, you just made me hungry.
Chicago deep dish -- but I never get it because it's 'out of style'
Kind a hard to order a pizza for yourself when there are others to share. We end up with frozen instead, and I doctor them up with extra pepperoni, cheese, tomatoes, mushrooms, and olives.
But it never tastes as good as a Chicago deep dish.

I'm not that picky about pizza, as long as it isn't Papa Gino's... that's the biggest pizza chain we have here, and it tastes like cardboard with way too much tomato.
Domino's is passable for me now because the ones in my area now have the thick garlic bread crust instead of the nasty cardboardy one they used to have.
I think my favorites are deep dish, and authentic Italian/high end pizzas (which I can't afford very often!)
Panera Bread makes surprisingly good pizzas too, in my opinion.
I also like Greek pizza.
This poll had good timing because I have had pizza for breakfast, lunch and dinner a couple of times this week...

Traditional Italian crust for me - it's more closely related to pastry than to the bread dough everyone uses these days.
Pizza was a new thing in Australia when I was a kid and I benefited from the flood of Italian migrants we got after we dropped the White Australia Policy. When I was about 8 years old I was taught how to make Pizza Dough by an old Italian man, it's the exact same recipe as Pasta and Pita Bread:
3 parts flour
1 part water
That's it, easiest recipe in the world. If it's too wet add more flour, if it's too dry add more water. Impossible to get wrong. It takes a bit more skill to cook than the bread dough though, if you even slightly over cook it it goes crunchy.
I cooked my own pizzas for decades until I was forced to give up my little gas stove.
As for toppings - everything except pineapple.

For something fast, we go for Culinary Circle Rising Crust, Supreme.
We prefer a local veggie pizza of another brand, but our store rarely carries it,
so we will take a cheese pizza and add our own toppings.
We call it RAG MOP:

Do Mexican tostados constitute a type of pizza with a crunchy corn base? I love them, too.
Spinach, feta, tomatoes, garlic, white sauce equals Greek pizza. One of my favorites but the amount of each item has to be consistent visually because l am ND. Big shock there. I am picky anal there. I have noticed that my fork has to also have pretty equal amounts of every item on my plate, so that l end up ignoring who l am with in the quest of perfect portions of zen on my culinary apparatus.
I have made a zillion pizzas from scratch with yeast, raise the dough, and achieve the pizza crust that made my family happy.
And l enjoy Godfather pizza, a chain popular in Honolulu at one time. Artesian pizza place just opened up and l will try them next year.
In Minneapolis, l would buy or make pizza with sourkraut, however it has to be placed right under the cheese to get the great creamy mouth consistency and texture. This was a filling cold winter option for me.

There's something here called Peppes pizza, that one is delicious. It's a franchise chain delivery pizza. And it comes with a white sauce that is very good.
yes, I very like pizza. definitely the ready meal I ate the most over all the years.
I never had the possibility to eat chicago or detroit pizza and pizzas here are much smaller.
I mostly eat frozen pizza because of the price. but I buy the better frozen ones. I very like jalapeno and in the past I putted plenty of them on frozen pizzas.
I mostly like pizza diavolo, magherita or pizza mafiosi (garlic). rather thin pizza with much covering.
I also like salami, chillies, ham, onion and olives. best all of them. and I like it when there is garlic oil on the pizza.
btw. I have nothing to eat, ate nothing so far this day and have to go to supermarket soon! and buy pizza and hoping that there is sales discount. and sucuk and jalapeno for it.
I also like and eat cold pizza.
I once ate a hotdog pizza (very tasty) from dominos. but bummer there is no dominos in the near and I anyway couldn´t afford restaurants pizzas nowadays.

It's the other way around here. Dominos only does little pizzas and they charge a fortune for them. Very close to where I live is a little corner pizza shop that is very good and very cheap. The people that own and run the shop are all Chinese but they make the best pizzas I've had in a while.

they call 9 inch "small" - it´s the normal size here in germany I think.
1 american, 1 bacon special, 1 mexican (hot) and 1 coke please
there is no salad
what is "tempura prawn"?
Tempura is a Japanese style batter coating, before deep frying the prawn. Prawns are what Americans call Shrimp.
In Australia we use the word Shrimp for fresh water varieties, if they come out of the sea we call them Prawns.
Even in Canada, home of the "Hawaiian" (ham and pineapple) pizza, pineapple as a topping is a rather contentious issue that can lead to incivilities.

My daughter asked me once to live a little and try a different kind of pizza. I told her that unless someone else bought it, I've eaten nothing but bacon, onion, green and yellow pepper pizza since Zach Morris dated Kelly Kapowski.
She responded "That was a dad joke wasn't it?"
