Actually, there's this place near my parents that has an appetizer pizza with
proscuitto. It's a very light sauce, on a thin crust, with proscuitto, artichokes,
and fontina cheese. Delicious stuff.
My thing is, I don't think there has to be tomato on all the pizzas (sauce or
otherwise) or garlic or whatever. If I'm going to eat it, I don't generally have
"traditional" pizza because I just don't really care for it. The only real exception
would be Bronx Pizza up in Hillcrest. They make their crust and sauce each day and
it's a very traditional style of pizza (with tomato sauce, cheese, pepperoni, etc),
but so not like most that I've had. The crust is thin, with good flavor, and the
sauce is not the least bit heavy.

My daughter's favorite is bbq chicken with gouda.
