Today is one of those days that has a somber edge; remembering all the lives lost on 9-11 in New York City, Pennsylvania, and Washington DC. 
It IS starting to feel distant; it's even in my kid's history books. But at the same time its so close in our memories.
On that note; lets have a lighter discussion today. One of my favorite topics! Pizza!!
I have some strong opinions about pizza; but then I was born in a city with a large Italian population so I grew up spoiled. Trips home still mean getting pizza at my favorite places. I've searched high and low here and while I've found some good places; they just don't quite compare.
What is your favorite style of pizza? What toppings do you prefer?
My very most favorite place makes a thicker round pizza; but it's cut into squares. Their crust and sauce are so good you don't even need toppings. They do make a fantastic chicken wing pizza though. They basically just pull the meat and all off the bones and use it as pizza topping. It's FANTASTIC. Every baby in our family has teethed on the crust from this pizza place.
I do love a good pepperoni pizza; especially "New York Style" being more thin and floppy. But I also love a good white pizza with plenty of spinach and garlic! Occasionally I want a good veggie pizza with plenty of mushrooms but light on the onions and olives. A margarita pizza with fresh tomato slices and fresh basil is also amazing! I tried a pizza earlier this year that had salami as a topping and that was surprisingly good. Everyone wanted my pizza instead of their own.
DH and DD often go for a BBQ chicken pizza and those are good too. So is buffalo chicken. What I haven't tried in a while is the sausage pizza from another local place back home. Their pies are Sicilian style with their own homemade sausage on it. That pizzeria has been around for over 100 years; so I guess they know what they are doing.

But as I got older I didn't need to eat all that dough. DH and I both prefer thin crust pizza now. I get mine loaded up with veggies and he likes sausage or pepperoni.
