Yup! I like to thin crust crusty them then roll a little bit of cheese in
the edges with minced garlic and minced olives. Suits *us* well.

Not sure but it sounds like he wants a thin crust or a crunchy sort of
medium, possibly with a little oil added. Most ABM french or italian
recipes would be pretty good for this. You just do the first mix to a good
doughball with one rise then make pizza. I add olive oil for texture and
crunch as it bakes.
