January Meme: Pizza preferences

[personal profile] bunnyboo did ask about my pizza preferences. They're very middle of the road for my part of the world. Meaning I go for the combination which usually shows up on menus as either Pizza Lucca or Pizza Speciale (mushrooms, salami, ham), or, when the pizza is served in rolled up form, as Pizza Calzone.

Now and then I like to experiment; so when it's the season for chanterelles, and a local Italian restaurant offers a pizza with chanterelles only, I go for that. Pizza with just Salami will also do in a pinch. I'm not a fan of Pizza Hawaii. Let's see, what else? Ah yes. I'm old enough to remember how surprised I was when the first Pizza Huts opened in Germany, and it turned out Americans ate their pizza with this really thick dough (crust?) underneath. In Germany, there's this rule of thumb: the thinner the crust, the better the pizza. (And then you go to Italy and realise the Italians think German pizza also has way too much dough, and does the arrangement with the toppings all wrong.) Anyway, living in Monaco di Bavaria as I do, I prefer my pizza bread thin, but I'm not hard core about it; when in the US, I eat what I can get.
