    That traditional looks amazing, especially the crust how it’s rolled up around the edges.  Question...is it customary just to get plain cheese in NY (and surrounding areas)? I know you can get any toppings you want, but most pics I see of east coast pies tend to be cheese. I’m wondering if it’s frowned upon to dress a pizza up with, let’s say, sausage and green pepper (my personal go-to). Also, do round pies ever get cut in squares? I know the square pies do, but round? 
    My wife and I will usually go plain because that is the one topping everyone agrees on and to me it tastes the best.  We ll occasionally get pepperoni but that's about it.  I think it just comes down to personal taste.  
    Interesting. So if I walked into an old school pizza joint in Brooklyn and asked for sausage and green pepper I wouldn’t get laughed at? 

    For comparison, I can tell you, in all honesty, there are a few hot dog stands in Chicago that someone would definitely get laughed at for asking for ketchup on their dog. They don’t even carry ketchup in the restaurant. 
    Not sure about Chicago but pizzerias around here sell a lot of slices. They usually have about ten to fifteen different toppings on them.  They vary from buffalo chicken to pasta to arugula.

    According to science, New Yorkers tend to have very bland tastes- it suits their personalities.

    Further... it's tough to find truly 'fresh' vegetables (such as green peppers) in the concrete jungle; therefore, under the guise of 'sophistication'... New Yorkers will tell you that cheese pizza is 'the only way to have it'.
    You want me to ruin a perfect cracker crust with the extra weight and moisture that come from added toppings? Fuhgeddaboudit.

    A side salad is preferable. 
    A cracker crust wouldn’t be foldable, which is sac religious in those parts from what I understand. 

    "Sac religious" :lol:

    What kind of sack are we talking about?

    That’s crazy. I’d say it’s definitely more common to get a round pie cut into squares in Chicago. You could request either way, of course.

    Tough to see but our next door neighbor just dropped off stuffed shells (there were six lol) and meatballs. Perfect cure for a hangover.

    I'm pretty sure I'm exposing myself to some abuse here, but I cannot pretend to know what a cracker crust is.

    I just assumed cracker crust was thin crust that was crispy. No?

    Thin crust. The bottom layer has a little crunch to it and cracks on the fold, but the layer above that is chewy and maintains its structural integrity on the fold.
