Oooooh, dem's fightin' words! (I'll try to avoid reopening--yet again--the great Connecticut v. NYC (or anywhere else) pizza debate.)
Ahem. In order to reopen it, one would have to concede that such a debate exists.

So, um, where does New Jersey fit in the whole NYC v. Connecticut non-debate, then? Hmmm?

My favorite: fresh spinach sauteed with copious amounts of garlic slices, fresh tomatoes, mozz, and grana padano cheese.

I have to say a white clam pizza (only from Pepe's, even Sally's can't even come close) is great. And as long as it's not too stalky, broccoli rabe is a good topping, in moderation; it's bitter enough that for me, a little goes a long way. (It's also good sauteéd with olive oil and garlic and mixed into macaroni.)
I can't recall a thread that made me hungrier than this one.
I'm putting together a grocery list as I type this.

You might want to add the indredients to an old Ouch family classic- pizza alla puttanesca*.
Sauteed tomatoes in garlic and oil, with olives, capers, and anchovies.
*Etymology on request
I looked the term up myself... "Pizza in the way a whore would make it". You're a dirty boy, Ouch.
Sounds like a great pizza, though.
Pffft. I know people who would say that you know nothing about pizza simply because you live in Connecticut.
Since you spilled the garbanzos, so to speak, I'll complete the story.
A group of working class girls known as "kind hearted women" were usually pressed for time during their lunch break, and had to prepare a speedy meal. The point of a putanesca sauce is to complete the sauce by the time the pasta is cooked.
By the way, this one goes out to you, rabidpotatochip - "religion"
Same thing here, simply because you live in NJ
New York, baby, New York.
I'd heard they cooked it so the wonderful smells would lure in men.
