Hi,
@Irishwizard I like the certainty! Sometimes when communicating overseas I don't know if I'm receiving a communication accurately because of our slight differences in vocabulary; however, you did ultimately highlight my point: different camps on ingredients. If I am correct about pizza being originally a way to use up extra ingredients, then there is no right or wrong way.
Personally, I'm a low-topping individual and I will say, "Less can be more" and that's what I subscribe to. But if you've tried a pizza with sausage (pepperoni), ham, bacon, green pepper, onion and mushroom, it has its merits.
I don't know why anybody thinks the US is that much different than the UK. After all I've observed here, even on this website, we're not.
I'm not sure about the "**** cheese" bit since you shouldn't use **** cheese (does that mean "bad" or "too much cheese"?). I like extra cheese and extra sauce--witness my photos. For the average consumer though, I would rein it in.
