bulka,

A few years back a friend and I visited Jon's pizza in NYC (famous by
reputation only?) and we had a thin crust pepperoni pizza. I walked out
feeling gypped!!!

I'm more a "middle of the road dough" boy!

There's a "Pizzeria Uno" a few miles up the road here in Pennsylvania
making deep dish but I'd rather be able to try/buy it by the slice like in
town rather than have to buy the entire "monstrosity in the round."

Best,

Andy
