Have never eaten in a chain pizzeria and never will. Growing up on Long Island we did not have those chain pizza places, only wonderful local pizza places. My Parents used to rent a house to the owner of a local pizza place and so if I went into the place after school he did not even charge me for a slice of pizza. i was always in heaven. I also loved the thick sicilian pizza that he made but favorite was the thin crust with pepperoni on it. this was in the early 60s. The only time my mother would make pizza at home was the english muffin pizzas, which were actually quite tasty. not real pizza though. Nowadays living in Tucson, only one great pizza place aptly named Brooklyn pizza. But, mostly I make my own. especially pepperoni or White pizza with ricotta cheese and broccoli and mozzarella . I love pizza, will never stop eating it. I have even been to the first Pizzeria in the U.S. Lombardi's on Mott St. in Manhattan.
