Styles of Pizza
Italian/Thin Crust/New York Pizza
Pizza was invented in Italy, and as such, the Italians make the finest pizzas in the world. Italian pizza is characterised by its excellent TTBR, making it look enormous, but without being excessively filling. One one of Friki's excusion's to Italy, Friki's friend ate two such pizzas (in a short space of time) without exploding. New York City has copied the Italian pizza rather well, and just made it much bigger. A lack of the proper three-finger grip occasionally leads to crust-flexibility issues and topping slippage.
"Deep Pan" Pizza
Like Italian pizza with an entire loaf of bread stuck to the bottom, destroying its TTBR. This makes the pizza cheap to produce, and helps keep it warm while it wings its way to your door on the back of a moped.
Chicago-Style Pizza
Like a thin and crispy pizza, but with a most pastry-like crust, and with the edges folded up to form a container. Fill said container with cheese (on the bottom), and then tomato sauce (on top), and you have a Chicago-style pizza. Toppings are a misnomer, as they are usually concealed under the tomato sauce.
Micro-pizza
Some fool had the idea of a microwaveable pizza. It may as well be a boiled plastic bag. Micro-pizza has an undefined TTBR, as it has neither toppings nor bread, only chewiness.
Friki Facts
- There was a pizza shop in Nottingham known as Pizza Stop. It prided itself on offering a "Works" pizza (i.e. maximum TTBR) for a mere fiver. The one time Friki ordered this, it was happily eating until it discovered small chunks of a bile-yellow substance in the topping. By a process of eliminating the other promised toppings by comparing the menu to the actual pizza, the bile chunks were eventually decreed to be chicken. Friki was very ill that week.
- Friki recently bought a pizza stone, and found that by pre-heating it for ages in an oven set to 600F, Friki can make homemade Italian-style pizzas from scratch, with amazingly thin crusts. GO FRIKI!
