Ah. Well here's how I do it:

Brush the crust with garlic-infused olive oil.
Sprinkle on a little Parmagiano-Reggiano
Add a couple ounces of shredded provolone. If you can't see the crust
anymore, that was too much cheese.
Top with diced tomato and perhaps some thinly sliced onion.
Bake.
Sprinkle with a mixture of minced basil and parsley.

I guess that if you put everything on your pizza that you have kicking
around in your fridge or your cupboard, the order is very important.

Doesn't a quiche require custard? There are no eggs in the filling of
a Chicago-style pizza.

In certain backwards countries, if you make a pizza with the cheese on the bottom, it's called a "quiche." This causes much confusion wherever these people leave their country.

If we were face to face, I might be able to read something out of your
body language and the tone of your voice. On Usenet, I have no choice
but to read exactly what you write.

Of course there are differences between a Chicago pizza and a quiche.
But to me, a Chicago pizza looks more like a quiche than a pizza.
That's not a crime and they might taste good, but I just wanted to say
that

I've never cooked a crust first or bought a pre-cooked one. I
start with raw dough then all the toppings and cooking all at one
time. My general rule for this is 425F for about 20 minutes.
Always works well.

That said, I'm sure a pre-baked crust would work well too just
with shortened cooking time once you add ingredients.

My theory is sauce, onions, peppers, mushrooms, (so they cook al dente
in the sauce) sausage, cheese. I figured that way there wouldn't be
any dried out stuff.
I was curious how others do it and why.

D.s favourite is ham and pineapple, so guess what I make)) I usually
spread some tomato paste over the dough, add the ham and pineapple and then
pile on the cheese) It works for him)) Back in the day I used to make
a tom sauce, but now he prefers the paste.

Well heck, I've made a lot of pizzas. Mostly, I never know how I'm going to
make it and I don't have any particular feelings on the proper way to do it.

Quiche is mostly eggs... Chi-Town deep dish is not a pizza at all.
it's at best a caserole.

1. Sauce (pizza sauce is essentially raw canned tomatoes or it'll
caramelize in a hot oven).
2. Mozz.
3. Toppings (anchovies, peppers).
4. Olive oil, drizzled.
5, Grated parm.
6. Sides (beer, pitchers).

Well, in my area... Order out a pizza and all comes with sauce,
cheese and topping on top (hence the name toppings)

At home, I like sauce, toppings, then all the cheese.

With a white pizza, I'll put garlic EVOO on crust, then 3/4 the
cheese, then top with vegetable followed with just 2 more ounces
of cheese over all.


basically though, there is no proper order. Just do what you
like.

Not at all. A quiche is what women or girlie men cook. Contains
eggs like a custard.

Chicago deep dish pizza is good stuff. Not a quiche at all.

I've not made one for a while. On occasion we'd have friends over and
put out the ingredients for a "make your own" night

Mostly I like simple. Sauce, oregano, cheese and either sauce or
pepperoni.

Other times I get more creative and add some cheddar cheese, onions
and/or mushrooms. Too many toppings though, can detract from the
experience though.

Not very often I'd buy a frozen pizza and doctor it up. Its ok in a
pinch but not like making from scratch.

If you live near a place that has a really good take-out pizza it is not
as easy to round up the effort to make your own from scratch.

There are two kinds of pizza, both originating in Italy; Napolitano
(thin crust, round) and Siciliano (thick crust, square), both scantily
topped. Everything else is a *******ization.

That's much more lasagna than pizza.

True... if the cheese is under the sauce it probably won't melt before
the crust burns. I've been to more pizzarias than I can count, none
placed the cheese first.

Pretty much true, however technically in a real pizzaria after the
cheese (mozz) goes a drizzle of olive oil and last a sprinkling of
grated parm.

Not crazy, that's pizza in most of the US. I've eaten pizza in every
state except Ukulele, the only place I found authentic pizza is in
parts of NYC. I don't consider any fast food chain pizza authentic

Those are out of my price range but what the heck, I'll splurge some.

Nothing bad about the occasional frozen pizza, allows me to add my own
toppings, usually anchovies.

Most pizzarias top with canned 'shrooms and so do I.

I don't like a lot of cheese, I guess because I really don't like
melted cheese -- too greasy

I've tried that with Romas but I'd strongly suggest removing the
skin... canned diced works well but I prefer whole canned tomatoes
hand squished, makes for a better presentation than diced.

For flat bread in countries around Italy, Macedonia and Slovenia, you can soak all toppings in olive oil before put on the sauce (sour cream or tomato sauce) and then pan or oven cook (I've heard).

What's wrong with the presentation? The pieces of tomato sit on
top of the pizza with the other toppings.

When I lived in Australia I used to make them from scratch and just use
fresh tomatoes and cheese (no sauce). A guest told me that they were
just like the ones he'd had in Italy.
