What is wrong with British pizza

[aichambaye at yahoo.com]

1. the crust. The crust is wretched. It's like the crusts on 
microwave pizza in the US. It's very thin and tasteless.

2. the pizza sauce: tastes like tomatoes, but with no spices at all. 
It sure isn't made with anything fresh. It tastes like canned tomato 
sauce mixed with canned Ragu spagetti sauce

3. The toppings: I thought nobody could screw up a pepperoni pizza. 
But yuck! The pepperoni was fantastically awful. I should know better 
than to eat pork prepared by Brits, as I have tasted boiled bacon 
**shudder**

4. The cheese tastes like cardboard and there isn't enough of it. 

5. Weird - really weird - combinations of toppings. 

If you've never had anything but European pizza, then you are really 
missing out. The pizzas in Europe are flat and small. The ones here 
are large (I mean, 15 inches in diameter, and are meant to be shared) 
and usually at least 3/4 of an inch thick (I order hand-tossed, 
because I think eating thin pizza is like eating a cracker with 
toppings). I am fairly certain anyone who has ever tried both kinds - 
USA and UK, if you will - will always choose USA.
