I just got an email from Alice, who asks:

Hi..can you tell me what's the difference between a thin crust and
thick crust pizza base?

Here is my Response:

Hi Alice.

The difference really to me is an issue of the thickness of the pizza crust and the type of pizza being made.

The thin pizza is known as Neapolitan pizza. This was the type of pizza favored there. This is also known as New York pizza. This is the type of pizza made in New Haven, Connecticut, also. This is the type of pizza, I am most familiar. This is the type of pizza I usually make.

Thick crust pizza on the other hand uses a much thicker base. It is also known as Sicilian pizza (or on Long Island, New York, Grandmother's pizza). Ususually this type of pizza is served in a rectangular pan. In Rhode Isalnd when I grew up most of the Italian Bakerys would sell this type of pizza.

Some people think just using more dough in your pizza makes a thicker crust and I think this is true.
A thick crust takes a little longer to cook.

I hope this answers your question.

Can I get some other thoughts and opinions from everyone else here?
I would love to hear what everyone else thinks.

I suspect be it thick or thin is at the end a matter of preference.
I like the thinner ones, perhaps because I feel it is kinder to my waist line![b][/b]

Well, it's not a simple task to make Thin Crust. It requires a lot of experience and good hand on baking part. After years of practice I came to know how to make a perfect pizza crust. Here is a small tip for you. Preheat oven to five hundred degrees and put the rack as low as possible in the oven.
