Thank you for that hilarious discussion of early American pizza! We did have boxed Appian Way pizza when we first had it. I didn't like it, and wondered about the hoopla when pizza became more popular. Pizza now is one of my favorite meals, and I do make it from scratch. My daughter gave me Crust and Crumb, a bread cookbook by Peter Rhinehart, and he has two pizza crusts which I use, one is a very wet dough, and the other a more typical bread dough which is easier to work with. Cook's Illustrated also had an article about Chicago pizza a few years back, and that was also very good. Thanks.
