Italian style pizza or American pizza?

That stuff?

I said "high school bakery", not "high school cafeteria".

The bakery at the school would make square pizza that looked like this:

really thick.

Nothing beats a crisp, thin crust with a light but flavourful topping.

Yes -- because in a country as large as the US, there are not Italian style pizza places... NONE.

Do you dolts outside of the US not understand than chain places like Dominos, Pizza Hut, and Papa John's aren't indicative of the sort of pizza you get from all the mom and pop and smaller local chains? A lot of people are simply about price-point and convenience thus the popularity of chain restaurants as a whole, but there is no shortage of quality pizza available -- I mean, depending on where you live you might find the mom and pop places outnumber the chain stores.

Judging all American pizza by the known chain brand crap is akin to lumping all Euro furniture in with the particle board garbage commonly found in IKEA.

I never said there aren't. I said that American style pizza, the one with tons of meat and cheese with thick crust, is bad. That's what American style pizza is, a greasy blob of goo. That's what I'm saying is shit. I never once even implied that there weren't US restaurants capable of serving good pizza.

I'm sure there are exceptions to the rule. Exceptions that have high quality ingredients and don't drown their pizza in cheese and grease. But they ARE the exception. A pizza that's mostly dough and grease isn't good.

American "pizza" is no pizza, it's a pancake.

And, who the hell eats pizza with a fork? WTF!? You're supposed to eat it with hands.

Stonebake, or thin at a push.
Anything else is just too much base.

Yeah but the so-called pizzas you'll get from the average pizzeria here in Sweden is fucking terrible. Did you know that the sliced meat they put on them isn't allowed to be called ham? It's called "Toppings", but the pizzerias write ham anyway, like they give a rats ass about good ingredients for your pizza.

Thin pizza.
Best pizza I ever had was an authentic thin pizza I made at school when I was ten.

No option for Nordic-style Kebab & Fries served on top of an extra-cheese pizza? This shit gets even me stuffed, and I can eat quite a bit.
It even has salad, so it's healthy!

I don't need Chicago deep dish style but I still like a thicker crust, cuz god damn do I love carbs.

IMO the best pizza is thick crust, easy on the sauce and a lot of cheese. <3

No one eats pizza with a fork..

If that's your perception on America then you need to reevaluate.

Look at this post.

that right there is just disgusting.

I like them both and eat them both on many occasions.

[Aggrophobic]

Not a big fan of pizza but I guess I'd pick italian if I had to.

I would not say I hate any of them but the excessive use of too much chease and bread in the american ones is not very good or healthy for you.

[Woadnson]

I'll eat either though toppings may make me choose one over the other. As long as it isn't a chapati pizza.

[Sesshou]

Why exactly is American style a thick crust? Or is New York style crust actually considered thick crust?

Yeah, the regular cafeteria just had pizza delivered in from a 3rd party place, and it was...eh, okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't that good either. It was just...pizza.

The separate bakery however, made the pizza themselves and it was fucking amazing.

For real, kinda sad no "both are delicious" option.
