Great Pizza Styles

By Andy Garris

I live in a city that many say boasts the best pizza in the world. New York is a wonderful place, and you'd be hard pressed to walk a few blocks in any commercial neighborhood without finding a pizzeria.

As a result, I've had the privilege of enjoying a very wide variety of slices and styles. During my time spent eating this delicious treat, I've come across some pretty interesting types and I'd like to share a few of them with you today.

If you appreciate creative cookery, I'm sure you'd like to try these suggestions. Made at home or ordered from a restaurant, I'm sure you'll agree they're a real treat.

The first specialty pizza I would recommend is the mac and cheese. Yes, it is unusual as far as pizzas go, but try it and you'll agree with me that it tastes good, especially with breadcrumbs on top.

Another top seller in New York's pizzerias is the spinach artichoke version. Just like a regular spinach pizza, it also has artichokes and creamy cheeses in the topping. I've heard people call it the best pizza ever.

If, like me, you're fond of buffalo chicken, you'll just love it on a hot pizza crust. When you bite into a buffalo chicken slice you'll think you're in heaven with all of the strong flavors blending so well together.

For added flavor, have extra blue cheese on your pizza or a bowl of blue cheese dip. It can really liven up plain crust.

Hopefully one of these three creative pizza ideas ends up inspiring you. I love each of the three, and I'd love to see you enjoy them all as much as I do.
