What is wrong with British pizza

Heather assassinated British pizza by way of explaining to Catherine 
how awful it is. 

Catherine replied:

<<Doesn't it depend where you get the pizza?  I wouldn't eat Pizza 
Hut, but would eat in Pizza Express (and I make my own as well) as 
they have the thin crispy crusts, just as in Italy.  I am not dishing 
American pizzas, though - fine as long as not Pizza Hut, and not too 
thick and doey.>>

Actually, all this is my fault for suggesting that we all eat at 
Pizza Express when Heather was visiting London.  I shudder to think 
what she would have made of Pizza Hut's Malfoy-like crusts.

Of course, it is possible to get very good pizza in London, but not 
in the chain restaurants.  Pizza Express was a bad choice I admit, 
but it was the closest place that came to mind that wasn't £30 a 
head!  

If anyone is planning to visit London on a pizza hunt (yeah, right), 
Pizzeria Castello in Elephant & Castle is reckoned to be among the 
best (huge pizzas with perfect crusts and tons of garlic), and 
there's a great place in Finsbury Park that's slipped my mind for the 
moment. 

Now Heather's thinking, 'Why didn't he suggest one of those places 
then?'
