Today is National Pizza Day in the UK - but I think also in the USA? Anyway, will you be eating pizza today? I only just found out about this so my dinner plans have changed and I'm about to make some pizza dough.
Oh my! National Pizza day?
Generally, I like Seafood Pizza, either a Salmon with Scallions or a Prawn, Scallop, Clam with Scallions. Both use a white sauce, 4 cheese or some cream cheese type.
But seeing as how I'll have to run down to the local Pizza parlor, Canadian Bacon, Pepperoni, Mushroom, Garlic, Sun Dried Tomato and Sweet Banana Wax Pepper or if other, Jalapeno. Thick Crust.
My absolute favorite Pizza? I would have to go to Chicago, down Clark Street toward the Lincoln Park Zoo to find the Chicago Pizza an Oven Grinder restaurant. I'd have to expect to wait in a line that circles outside and down the street. But digging into a deep dish pizza by the pound or 1/2 pound that is cooked in a bread tin is usually worth it for a lot of Chicago natives and visitors as well.

Quaint shop, but absolutely the best! Looking at their website, things have changed a bit. Their famous pot-pie pizzas are now balls that can be taken home frozen and they have remodeled their interior.
I used to ask for a "Cheese Blizzard" too, which they understood to mean "extra Cheese." I don't anymore.
