I went to an Italian family's Thanksgiving dinner once when I was a teenager, invited by my high school buddy and his drop dead beautiful sister. An offer I couldn't refuse.

Had to get there early to collect the greens from the yard...searching for dandelion leaves for batter fried Italian greens. They were amazingly good!

Then we watched football, ate antipasto, ate dinner, ate deserts....then ate some more.

I've changed my tastes over the years due to new horizons that have popped up. But when it comes to pizza, there's a purist in me.

Add anything to the basics of good bread and sauce and you've a pizzaliderra. Mess with the basics and like they do at the franchises, you might as well buy crackers and cheese spread at the supermarket.
