Not too thin and not to thick (I like to sit on the fence)...
I find it more comfortable to eat my pizza at a table. Fences are uncomfortable and I have balance issues.

Not too thin and not to thick (I like to sit on the fence). I had a horrid very thin crust pizza in a chain pizza joint over here which was like a cream cracker so I'm careful now.
This thread is making me crave pizza. I might make the dough before I go to bed so it'll be ready to bake tomorrow. My kitchen is ~c~o~l~d~ (that's supposed to be shivers) so dough takes it's time to rise, which is a good thing, I think.
I like lots of toppings. Not ham and pineapple and oddities like that though. I prefer Italian vegetable antipasto goodies in jars and good mozzarella
Your post made me think of an image I saw making the rounds today:...This thread is making me crave pizza. I might make the dough before I go to bed so it'll be ready to bake tomorrow.

I like thick-crust pizza, with the crust bread-like and yeast, and topped with a rich and spice tomato sauce, lots of sauce, and all the regular fixin's common to a U.S. pizza, not pineapple though.
That being said, there is a place that used to be called Kings Pizza, in my home town, that makes a crust that is not thick, but that is not thin either. They make the pizza (and it's truly gourmet pizza), then fold it in half and roll the edges in, like a pastie. They then brush it with something to make it shine, probably either milk or egg wash, then bake it until it's golden brown. It of course is called a pizza pastie, and is one of the great culinary triumphs of our time. The place changed hands and is now called Upper Crust Pizza. It's pricey, but oh so worth it every once in a while.
But I say again, if it's not a pizza pastie, then I want a thick, yeasty, chewy-soft crust. What can I say, I'm a Yooper.

Sounds like it's basically a calzone.
The calzones that I've had have no sauce. Also, with a pizza pastie, you get that pastie handle. If you're making it at home, you can roll the dough for the handle around something yummy, like a little rod of string cheese, or whatever you want. It's just more festive, and the sauce makes it sooooo good. Whatever it is, the pizza pasties I've had are better than the calzones I've had. Maybe I just haven't had a calzone at the right place.

Chief: Scroll down the page to Calzones and see how we make them in Colorado. Beau Jo's Colorado Style Pizza Beau Jo's has a lot of good food.
Thin crust, however, a really good sicilian can be quite special if done right. I use to live in Brooklyn in the same building as Di Faras which is considered by many New Yorkers as the best pizza in the country. It's an amazing thin crust slice, but whenever I go back to visit, my first stop is a sicilian thick crust (not deep dish) square at L&B, with cheese on the bottom and sauce on the top. The sauce is so perfect, I once paid the guy $20 for a cup of it and drank it : P Chicago pizza is a little overhyped if you ask me.
By the way, can anyone tell me how to setup a profile pic on my profile?
