There's nothing like a good TOPPING....on pizza!

Extra cheese and anchovies.

Boston Pizza is awful.

My favourite pizza place is Vern's Pizza, but it's only in Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Manitoba, so people in the east won't be able to experience the amazingness that is a pizza with an inch thick layer of meat. (unless they venture into what they lovingly refer to as "the gap.")

Also, fun fact: Canadian pizza has the cheese on top instead of the bottom.

I cannot get it thin enough....

In spite of my previous posts, as Delicious as thick pizza can be (now and again), I, too, prefer thin and crispy. I enjoy the "Crunch", and don't like the crust overwhelming the toppings.

Surveys here in Milwaukee tend to agree with that preference.

We have some amazing pizza places here. And, not only will I order thin crust, I'll also add "well done".

I like ground beef on a pizza and I love a thick, soft and chewy base.

Of course, I checked out Wikipedia (for what that's worth), and still don't "get" why "Boston".

You won't find out through Kiki, nor even the Boston Pizza website. However, According to co-owner, Jim Treveling, the creator of Boston Pizza was a Greek sailor named Gus Agioritis, who jumped ship in Vancouver, was living in Edmonton when he decided to open a pizza parlour. He wanted to name it Santorini Pizza, but the name was taken, as was his second choice, Parthenon Pizza.

Then serendipity stepped in. A man named Bill Boston lived in the apartment above Agioritis. At the same time, hockey player Bobby Ore was signing up for the Boston Bruins.

Guess what? 'Boston Pizza' wasn't taken. So he took it.

Now, whether or not this story is true, only Gus Agioritis knows. But it comes from the most reliable source on the net.

Didja know: Canada (Edmonton, Alberta) is the home of Boston Pizza. Although Boston Pizza has expanded into the United States, there are no Boston Pizzas in Boston (that I can find).

In the United States they go by the name Boston's Restaurant & Sports Grill.

Why do you guys call Salame "Pepperoni"?

Peperoni are bell peppers.

Vegetables or sausage slices.

In answer to your query, far better than I could explain it ...

That is it for me...I like the toppings more than the crust. I spent many years avoiding pizza because of the crust until I went to Chicago Fire Pizza in Folsom (California) and had this wafer thin crust...I like it crispy as well but not burnt..maybe a little burnt is OK but I don't want to taste ash LOL

Hawaiian pizza is my favourite. Ham and pineapple. By bloodline is far from weak. My family hs survived a whole lot of Canadian winters, and I'm about to survive one more.

Sorry, it was a popular meme for a while; the pineapple thing. Hard to explain why it was funny.

Thanks but it doesn't explain why the meat has the name of a vegetable
