All These Different Types of Pizza

They tell me Neapolitan is the original pizza, carried on from the Naples, Italy 18th century tradition. I love Neapolitan in all of its varieties. Pizza chefs say it should be baked in a wood-burning oven heated at up to 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit like they did in the old days.

That works for me.

But so does Chicago-style pizza, New York style, Sicilian style, Greek style, Detroit and St. Louis style, and California style, too.

Thick crust, thin crust, crispy crust, deep-dish. Sure, I'll take one of each.

I've yet to meet a pizza style I didn't like if it's made the right way.

That's the secret. How to make a really good pizza.
