There is more diversity in pizza offerings here than one would think. Sicilian is easy to find, and there are lots of people doing brick oven, too, in addition to the typical "New York" style pizza (or Neapolitan, which is just a stone's throw from the NY style).
The only heresy is Chicago-style deep dish.

Is that so you're not reminded what a real pizza tastes like. :-D

I've had Neapolitan-ish/NY-ish style pizza, but never Sicilian. I asked cause I just ran across a new recipe for it and it sounded really really good.

I try not to hate on it too much. It is a regional specialty. If someone gave me one, I would eat it (or at least a piece or two, at which point I would feel like I had a big rock in my stomach because deep dish is so heavy and greasy).

It could be worse, it could be pizza in the South.

It could be worse, it could be pizza from a box. (Everyone else in my family loves this. Seriously. Ugh. This is why I learned to make my own from scratch.)

I love every kind of pizza. I'm polypiemorous.
I have a sentimental fondness for Greek pizza (Somewhere between deep dish and thin crust) that is very common about here. But a razor-thin NYC crust or a mile-thick Chicago crust are both fantastic.
I wept when they closed Pizzareia Unos here. It was the last deep-dish pizza place. Ah well, pizza is not really on my menu anyway...*sigh*

I love Chicago style deep dish pizza. One slice is a whole meal.
Cheese IS greasy the only way have pizza without grease is to put veggies on flatbread.
Grease on pizza comes from three sources: direct addition of oil to the pan (more of a deep dish phenomenon), use of fatty meats like pepperoni, and use of cheap processed "mozzarella". Pizza made with real fresh mozzarella is not greasy at all unless you top it with pepperoni or sausage.

I screwed up. I put the wrong material into the wrong silo at work thus contaminating thousands of kilos of plastic. Naturally the boss was a little perturbed. Penalized with a 2 day suspension.
There is a bright spot however. I had already scheduled my next week off for vacation so I get to start my holiday early. Sometimes things happen for a reason. :)

I seriously think I am a mutant. I've literally had about an hour's sleep today, and I feel fine. In three weeks I have not gotten anywhere near 8 hours. In fact, I am pretty sure I have not gotten 8 hours of sleep in years, and I just didn't notice because I had no way to track it.
Strange ...
You might be suffering from sleep deprivation. Getting used to lack of sleep is one of the signs of prolonged sleep deprivation - together with diminished intellectual and physical capabilities AND switching your own perception to feel fine despite those secret penalties...
Or your meditative techniques make up for it.

Wow. 53 posts since I went to bed at 1am last night.
And NOW I want pizza! Seriously? I just had breakfast! ;P
And my preferred is thin & crispy crust, preferably with either a lots of meats or a nice supreme. ;)
Deep dish has it's place. Just not in my stomach! (Not anymore! When I was younger it was fine, but now it is just too much for this aging wizard) :/
Sleep deprivation bad.
When I was early-20's and in college, I would go for a straight week or more on maybe 2 hours of sleep a night. (Too much to do. Homework, friends, play rehearsals, swordfighting, late-night game sessions, work on weekends)
But after about a week of that, I would have to pass out and couldn't be awakened for a good long while. Like a whole day. ;P

Went outside this morning a little after sunrise to go pick up Deadpool from Redbox. Everything is soaked and it's already feeling sticky-muggy from the humidity, but otherwise not too bad from tropical storm Colin. Stopped for a moment to enjoy a brief breeze and noticed a neat spikey spider had put up a new web. So I carefully leaned in close to take a closer look and admire his/her pretty colors... and a nice gust suddenly blew the spider right in my face. A teeny spider surprise in the face, and the subsequent spastic arm-flailing and sputtering, works pretty good as a coffee substitute for completely waking up.

New Amsterdam is overrated, nary a windmill to be found.

I imagine the spider is fine, maybe pissed off about needing to rebuild the web yet again. I definitely didn't smoosh her/him; they're usually pretty smart about quickly getting away from the spastic bumbling giants.
