Roman-style pizza bianca is rich and spongy with olive oil, part of what makes it so irresistible. But what could make it better? I didn't know until I visited Abruzzo, where the answer became clear: pig bits and pig fat, baked right in. More

Swirl Pizza is a style found along the Schuylkill river towns just northwest of Philadelphia. This pizza is built upon a crust much thinner than your average Philly slice, and the sauce is applied on top of the cheese in a decorative spiral pattern. More

OK, wow. We've talked about gyro pizza on Slice before. And hot-dog-and-french-fry-pizza. So why not Coney dog pizza? More

Well, it's time to call time on last week's poll, "What's Your Favorite Pizza Style?"
