I agree and disagree.
Pizza is best how you order and enjoy it. What works for some may not work for you, and that's fine.
Reminds me of instructions for tasting and rating coffee. Test it like you usually do; if that's with cream and sugar, then so be it.
I agree wholeheartedly that the quality of pizza ingredients differs at each establishment. Some pizzerias believe in and appreciate fine ingredients, which makes the end product even better.
Unfortunately, some don't have the palate to distinguish between economy Sysco ingredients and premium cheeses/cured meats. Yes, the pepperoni is a great example.
