.. the perfect cheater food. While it really isn't health food and can't be a steady diet, it is the most satisfying junk food in the world. And while eating it, you can always rest assured that you have the four food groups covered. I have to say that California style pizza is the best, no matter what Chicagoans or New Yorkers claim. California pizza is thick-crust, and the crust is soaked in butter or olive oil before baking, making for a soft, chewy bit of heaven that has the proper consistency to hold up a mountain of toppings. New York pizza is a wet cracker slopped in grease and sauce, in my experience sloppily executed. Chicago style is just too floppy to be a good base for a California appetite. And only in California do we feel it's okay to put whatever you want on a pizza. While I prefer traditional toppings, I combine them in a way that would earn a blank stare back east, but out here, it's business as usual for a sausage, onion, mushroom, pineapple, and jalapeño pie. Mmm.. think I'll grab a leftover slice for breakfast.
