This is why I love when my aunt and uncle come to visit from Philly...

It exists in two places on earth. All of Rhode Island and Philly / the Philly-ish parts of Jersey. It was at every single birthday party, family gathering, and beach day growing up.

Is there cheese buried under that there tomato sauce, or is the sprinkle of Parmesan the only cheese included?

Gotta have my cheese.

Gotta have my cheese.

My thoughts as well... but everyone grew up with their local stuff that you just don't get unless you were there....

Yes, and sometimes it's not there at all. Depending on the bakery, it could just basically be sauce on bread.

Just what you see. Eat it cold/room temp. It's delicious.

Give me a break. Americans' trust in the media is at an all-time low, yet you use their failure to report on something as proof-positive that it isn't true.

So distrust for the media means you can just make up your own news without any evidence?

Like I said, there is news and there is evidence, but it's not being reported by anyone except conservative media.

Usually no cheese, parmesan sprinkled on top. The homemade bread and sauce make it delicious. Served at room temperature.

So it's basically just Crazy Bread

NO NO. It's Philly Tomato Pie! It's not the same.

The beginning and end of all pizza discussion is a standard NY slice, too large to eat without folding in half long ways. Enough grease and oil whatever else drips off that thing to burn down a building. A healthy amount of toppings, but not overwhelming. Crispy crust. Golden colors and not too much sauce. What I would do for one or ten of these right now...

Everything else will never look or taste as good. New York Slice.

FIFY. Coal Country is poor.

 

[tussin]

That's trash pizza from a nationwide chain. Funny how everyone has different preferences.

 

[ACamp1900]

A healthy amount of toppings,

 

[IrishLion]

If we're talking chain pizza, it's gotta be hard to beat a deep-dish-square slice from Jet's.

 

[gkIrish]

The cheese and crust are the bedrock of a slice of pizza. Obviously toppings are preferred, but you should not be eating sausage with a side of crust and cheese. It's pizza with a side of sausage.

1.) I love the 'because it's found everywhere it sucks' notion with food... freakin hipsters.
2.) I wasn't advocating any particular chain or business so much as just the type of pizza I enjoy... I'll pass on gkirish's pie every time...

You must enjoy being wrong all the time... it's like you actively pursue it.....

The Week's Michael Brendan Dougherty just published an article titled "The existential despair of Hillary Clinton v. Donald Trump":

Millions of Americans detest the idea of choosing between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Perhaps you're among them. You may think that both presumptive nominees are unfit for office. You may loathe the way their candidacies are warping the personalities of your friends and family, particularly on social media. Perhaps you simply feel that each of these candidates is somehow undeserving of the time and energy that is required to vote.

You might also feel some pressure to suck it up and vote for "the lesser of two evils." Well, I have a simple message for you: Don't.

Don't let anyone steal that disgust from your heart. It is a precious thing. You should treasure your disgust as a sign of your decency, particularly because hardly anyone else will. Don't let anyone tell you that the nearly uncontrollable urge to retch at the thought of this election is disproportionate, or somehow uncivil. When you contemplate the fate of your country in 2016, you have the right to be depressed, or even despairing.

You know that Donald Trump is an unstable imbecile. But this knowledge doesn't oblige you to discover new qualities in the bottomlessly cynical, power-mad grifter Hillary Clinton. In your heart of hearts, you may suspect that if she thought it would get her four centimeters closer to the presidency, Hillary Clinton would devour your squealing grandchild, or her own, live on the set of The View. It's a terror to contemplate. But in no way should this terror obviate your equally credible suspicion that Donald Trump is rabies in human form, likely to drive our country into a feverish search for scraps in the neighbors' garbage only to get us run over by a truck.

Tens of millions of dollars and an army of journalists and paid hacks will try to morally compel you to choose either Clinton or Trump. The internet and the nightly news will become a kind of active chain of volcanic pustules, emitting outrage and manufactured umbrage in your direction for the next five months, hoping that you scurry for cover underneath one candidacy.

Hold firm.

By refusing to choose or — more boldly — refusing to care, you will be joining millions of people, who, in any given year, act as if voting for one of the two major parties is useless. They may not exercise their franchise, but they are decent, law-abiding people. They floss and keep their lawns tidy. They see their friends and family losing their minds on Facebook and spend five minutes clicking "Hide Post" through their timeline. This is the truly civic thing to do: Preemptively conceal a person's public embarrassment for them. There is nothing wrong with being a non-voter.

Many of your friends will tell you that if you go on this way, refusing to choose, you are engaging in a "both sides" fallacy. They will say that in fact, Donald Trump is more likely to blow up the whole goddamned world, with his micron-twitch temper and the nuclear button. That may be true. But voting for Hillary Clinton as president and then living with her presidency may turn you into the kind of irritable jerk who wakes up every morning wishing the whole goddamned world could be blown up.

You may in fact believe one side is worse than the other. Even significantly. That's fine. In the sacred sanctum of my heart, I'd rather die at the hand of a knife-wielding relative over a game of cribbage than by drowning in an inflated kiddie pool filled with ammonia. I've gamed both of these scenarios out at length, and one of them is certainly preferable to the other. But I'm not going to interrupt a pleasant November day to endorse either of them.

And please don't tell me that I owe it to those who died on Utah Beach on D-Day, or at the Battle of Yorktown in the Revolutionary War, to choose between Trump and Clinton. If we really believed that electing a president was somehow connected to honoring our war dead, we would not have chosen a bilious moron and a greedy black hole of ambition as our candidates in the first place.

If you want to walk about in sackcloth and ashes and do penance, I think that's great. Glenn Beck suggested fasting to stop Donald Trump and then he started crying. It was the most sensible reaction he's had to anything in years.

Whatever you do, just don't let anybody trick you into thinking this choice is worthy of you or your nation.

Someone will inevitably ask you this question: "But really, gun to your head: Do you want President Trump? Or do you want President Clinton?" You should reframe the question for them like this: "When someone asks, 'Gun to your head: Do you want a gun to your head? Or a gun to your head?' The only response is: 'Just get over with it.'"

Tomato pie aka party pizza aka pizza strips is not a substitute for actual pizza pizza. You don't get it when you want pizza. You serve it at a party as an appetizer like potato chips or crudite.
