Now when I was younger, I liked Chicago deepdish pizza but as I get older I like the NY style thin crust pizza. As for toppings I like sausage, mushrooms, peppers and onions.
Thin and crispy sausage and mushrooms for me.

Chicago has some GREAT food...but i did not like the deep dish pizzas there either. Mort's had the best Reuben sandwich i've ever had. I like all toppings pretty much on a thin to medium crust. (as long as there's no fruit or anchovies involved).
I used to make my own, but too much trouble. Sheesh, i'm gettin' hungry!

Gotta be thin crust; pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, onion. Fishies belong in the sea, not on a pizza!

I'm not sure what your talking about... but white sauce on pizza is NOT a Chicago thing. 
I like deep dish with any of the following- sausage, pepperoni, peppers, tomatoes, bacon, ham , canadian bacon, or onions. Thin crust pizza from Beggers or Aurelios with pineapple only.

Thin crust with pepperoni. That seems to "stay" longer in the fridge. Cold thin crust pepperoni doused with chipotle Tobasco is quite possibly the best food known to man.

I like thin crust NY although not paper thin. Plain cheese is good, although ham, peppers and onions are cool too. Best in this area so far HANDS DOWN is Sinapis in Danbury (right near the Mall and the Christmas Tree Shop). Not much from the outside and in a strip mall, but ****** the pizza is good. And, it's the cheapest meal anywhere inside a 100 miles!! One slice is almost the size of a small pizza! And Chicago Deep Dish from a good place in Chicago (sorry northeast Dudes, Uno's does NOT count!!) still ROCKS in a way NY Pizza never can!

Sorens sounds like it would be a good change. I also like a good veggie pie too with white sauce. Still has to be thin crust.

Double pepperoni and cheese. Prefer hand toss but will eat thin but have to be in the mood for it. Do like mushrooms but Cathy can't stand them. Some times I'll get diced tomatoes. Hate onions and generaly do not like my pizza over loaded with different types of toppings.

This topic came up in conversation during the Lake Superior tour. The guys were sitting around a bar and Jeff said to Keith something like, "well you guys created pizza with white sauce." Keith went crazy, I was scared to be sitting between the two of them, mainly because he be going through me to get at Jeff. I wasn't concerned with Jeff.
After the "debate" subsided a little I asked, "what's white sauce?"
It's like and Alfredo sauce instead of the pizza sauce used.
My answer? 
But I like to bring it up to Keith that Chicago invented it.

I prefer the cooked style, although the best pizza in town is from a "take and bake" shop. As long as it's cooked, any kind of crust as long as it has pepperoni, onion and green pepper. Or, the take and bake place has a really good Mexican pizza that's loaded with taco ingredients. I even have a pizza nursery rhyme that I used to tell the kids. Pizza pie hot Pizza pie cold pizza pie in the box 9 days old Some like it hot Some like it cold Some like it in the box covered with mold.

It really depends om where you are at when you want pizza.
I prefer over all, Aurelios thin crust Chicago style pizza, sausage pepperoni and mushroom.
For Deep Dish Chicago style, Uno ( the original ) or Geno' s both have great products.
In the Quad City area ( Davenport and Bettendorf, Iowa and Rock Island and Moline, Illinois ), I prefer Harris sausage pizza or add on the pepperoni and mushrooms. There are a couple of copies in the area that are also very good. Harris is a QC type of pizza, familiar to those there.
In Columbia, MO, I prefer Shakespeare's Pizza, Canadian Bacon and Breakfast Bacon.
I the Seattle, WA area, I like Frankie's in Redmond. Sausage and Pepperoni again.
Overall, Chicago think crust is my fav and that is Aurelio's.

Well not just because I live in NY, but NY style thin crust. Plain cheese or any topping. Growing up 50 yards from a great pizza place you need to mix it up. Besides the classics some good ones I've tried are bacon and onion, ricotta and fried eggplant and breakfast sausage and bacon.

I don't know what style it is, probably Chicago since it is about 2 inches thick.. At Gina and Guiseppe's Itlaian Deli at Riverwalks, Jenks, America you can get in my opinion the best brick oven pizza in the Tulsa area. My favorite is the G and G combo with Pepporoni, Sliced Italian meatballs, sliced mushrooms and black olives, completley smothered with Mozzarella cheese. Now I'm hungry.

Reminds me of Ensign Chekhov saying about everything, "It was inwented by a RRRussian" 
Mediterranean people have been eating various flatbreads with assorted toppings for a loooong time.
Actually, original pizzas didn't have cheese. What makes it a pizza is the tomato.
And you get one guess where that particular fruit came from .
I think what you described is "Welsh Rabbit"

I dont believe that I didnt mention another Quad City favourite, Happy Joes. Joe invented Taco Pizza, which is beyond incredible. He also has one called a Nacho Joe, which is a spicier Taco, then the Happy Joe Special, which is Canadian Bacon and Sauerkraut. Many other types are available, but I had to mention the classics. All of these are thin crust.

Up in Schaumburg, IL a number of years ago, I went to a place called Gino's East in Rolling Meadows, IL. Hands down, the best pizza I have ever had. They did a cornbread like crust and when I asked for sausage, they asked what kind? Huh? What do you mean? Turns out they have regular crumble style and also make the pie with a layer of sausage over the whole thing (a little less than 1/4" thick). I was in friggin pizza heaven!!  I was there two weeks and went back there 7 times, no kidding. It's a deep dish style pizza which I usually don't like but mmmmmmm, so good!!

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

In Windsor, CT there is an old panel construction McDonalds building, now home to Wilson's Pizza. The old "M" logos were apparently left behind, and so Wilson inverted them to form "W" logos.
They make their own dough fresh early each morn. Good pies and rolls. Frozen dough and pop up just ain't the same.

OOOHH this if fun and good for ya , it is a US pitza , you take a big ole flat dough thing and divide into the respective quadrants of the US , i.e. North , West , East and South . Cover it with kechup and then add whatever the area is noted for in food production . Clams along the eastern crust . Peenuts and peecans here in tha South , meat in the middle . Just leave it blank over in the desert - no , wait , put DESSERT there! Little conch jiblits off tha plate where Key West would be , little drops of Scotch here and there , it be so much fun , and taste pretty bad , too .
