TOD: I think Pizza Hut was my first pizza, but Mom's was always my favorite as a kid. She did a think crust and cooked it until it crackled. I think she used ketchup and herbs for the sauce, but the sausage and cheese were always good.
Best pizza ever was in Venice. Again, a thin crust and a few toppings, including pepperoni, artichoke hearts and olives. Very little cheese. That was 15 years ago and I remember it like yesterday.
Best chichi pizza. I don't know if any of you watch "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives," but the show has been running an episode filmed at a local place called Dough (the owner is Doug Horn). Anyway, he does a four-cheese pizza that's killer by itself, but for a little extra in season, the waiter will shave fresh black truffle slices on top, if you want. Yup.
Favorite toppings: anchovies, garlic, black olives, artichoke hearts, sausage, pepperoni.
