Also agree with someone a couple of days back about an art getting the crust thin and crusty. You wouldn't think it's such a difficult thing to do .. but ultimately, when I do try .. the pizza usually comes out thicker than I'd wanted.
When I come to NY for some of that NY-style folding pizza, lol, also want to check out some of those great little Italian deli's we always hear about.
Because pizza is yeast risen, even a pizza that's rolled thin will turn out to be not thin once it's baked, so it's pretty delicate getting it as thin as possible before it goes in the oven without tearing it, and also making sure the oven is quite hot. I do a combination of rolling and tossing. On some experiments I've prebaked the crust for a few minutes first, and if the center has puffed out I punch it back down before applying cheese and sauce.
I don't know if this holds true in other areas but you probably had what's known in the NY area as Sicilian Pizza, usually made on a rectangular pan.
It was round, but only about 9 inches diameter, so they brought the whole thing out on my plate. I don't know why that one place sticks in my mind, but I remember it was on Mulberry Street near Chinatown.
I can taste it and smell those heavenly smells from here!
I'm not a hot dog eater, but doesn't matter. If and when I come to NY, I'm going to one of those little Jewish delis and having one of those kosher dogs with the steamed bun and cabbage!
Then I'm going to run from one pizza place to the other!
