1. pizza activist. the best pizza I ever had was at the fancy Italian restaurant on the Disney Fantasy. The waiter came out and asked us "do you-a mind if-a the chef sends you out a pizza?" and we were both like "what kind of question is that? of course!" he brought out a white pie with bleu cheese and grapes on it, and, hand to god, it was the best thing ever. more finely, I'm a toppings anarchist and a dough/sauce leftist, if only because I'm skeptical about whether or not Chicago style (delicious no doubt) is pizza or a doughy casserole.

2. My pizza cognition was always local joints because Philly is right in the southern girth of the Pizza Belt - https://www.gawker.com/the-pizza-belt-the-most-important-pizza-theory-youll-r-743629037

I am a free spirit when it comes to pizza. Put on what you like! The only thing I don't like on a pizza is onion, but that's a matter of overall preference. I've come around to peppers, as a kid that was a deal breaker. I prefer a thicker crust, but will eat a tavern cut if it's on the plate.

Being so open to toppings and styles, I guess that means I don't have a favorite. Artichoke might be the most underappreciated topping on a pizza, while pepperoni would get my vote for most overrated. Too much and the pie ends up a rag full of grease.
