Peter,
Do not forget that the south of France has a dish called 'pisaladiere'
which is awfully close to one of those "white pizzas".
Having grown up near the Bronx enclave of Little Italy (187th St. and
Arthur Avenue, I know what REAL pizza is like. In fact, one of the
"pizza-maestros" from there opened a place in San Diego, which is now
the most popular pizzeria in the city.
