My mother was shown how to make pizza by an Italian. It is the
opposite of how pizza is made in the U.S. First the crust is coated
with olive oil. The meat, mushrooms, and other "filling" ingrediants
are placed on the pizza crust. Cheese goes on next. Then tomato
sauce on top. The main difference is that the crust does not get
soggy with the tomato sauce; the cheese melts to form a type of top
crust; and the "filling" being under the melted cheese does not get
overcooked and dried out. Have any of you had or seen pizza done
like this. Having grown up on it, I find traditional pizza inferior.
