I concur with StillHope on Italian-made pizza. Very thin crust, just a smear of sauce, and minimal toppings. Of course the Italians see pizza as a minor appetizer and not a main course, as Bear and I discovered on one of our trips. We did find a place in Mantova, however, that advertised Pizza Americana and delivered. Mmmmmmm.
The solution for Big Islanders wanting "real" pizza is do it yourself. It takes some work, but the results can be quite rewarding. Getting the dough for the crust just right can be a chore, but if you can make bread, you can make pizza dough. (Or you can cheat and get prepared crust.) Toppings are limited only by the imagination.
Cheerfully planning a DIY pizza for tonight,
