When it comes to pizza, I don't have the kind geographic allegiance that stipulates anything in particular about crust depth, fold-ability, or sauciness. As a kid in the mid-1980's in Toronto I was introduced by a trend-savvy relative to something called Joel's Gourmet Pizza, which provoked gasps because you could get yuppie toppings like Feta and the whole thing was square. This was a serious game-changer. Hold the phone: It's square, like ohmigod, okay? more ›
