  | | I rather like the classic simplicity of the original pizza entry, meself... if it stays and isn't being replaced, then I'd say this one is perfectly befitting of its current title 'as is'. If it's to become the all-in defining one on pizza and go beyond Milos' original brief, however, there'd be one or two things I'd like to add that aren't relevant to the scope entry as things stand at present.

| | Thanks Six  . I'll be adding some links in a few days, that one was on a list of several relevant entries I've found.
And thanks Gnomon, too. I spent my  in the EF thread, thanks for the link. 
I credited all of the participants in the original PR thread that raised a relelvant point that ZF had not addressed in his entry. That included you and Bels, but it's okay if you prefer not to take credit. I know Bels has passed (and is dearly missed), I thought it a fitting tribute that he still has an impact here. If you think it's inappropriate I can remove his name too. He had brought up a point about the requirement for a specific type of oven to be used, which I hadn't been aware of and ZF didn't mention.
Modern pizza may be eaten with a knife and fork, sometimes I do but not always. In my research, as a peasant food it was normally eaten without utensils.

| | Well, the title reflects that the bulk of the entry is regarding pizza in America... and then some. In the entry it's pretty clearly stated where it originated.
But the US is the home of pizza. Certainly not where it started, but where it evolved. When most people (who aren't Italian) think of pizza they think of pepperoni and sausage and mushrooms... and well, modern pizza. Italian pizza is pretty much the same as when it was invented, and is protected as being a specifically prepared food.
If this is destined to be *the* pizza entry, then yes, the title will have to be adjusted as well as the scope of the information. But as it stands I think the title accurately describes the content of the entry, which was my intent.
Thanks Icy!

Tasty entry!
A query or two:
Modern pizza as most people recognise [recognize]
Pizzeria Uno continues to sell Chicago-style pizza nation-wide. [(usually) nationwide]
largest pizza chain world-wide. In 2006 world-wide sales [worldwide (twice)]
in the United States one would be hard pressed [hard-pressed]
For an appetiser top a crust [ For an appetiser, top a crust]
A six- or eight-inch pizza (looks weird...perhaps '6 or 8-inch' /'six or eight-inch')??
and if you're having a party plan on [and, .....party, plan on]
most three- to six-year-olds, (still looks weird...perhaps 'three to six-year-olds')??
"Pre-made crusts are easy to find as well but again, you're better off to start from scratch." [(I don't agree  If you can find a decent frozen crust, there are several points in favour of home baking: you can use '*exactly* the right combination/quantity of toppings; it is ready to eat and *hot* when you want it (delivered pizzas are frequently tepid, limp and often taste of the cardboard they're packed in); it will be *much* cheaper; you won't have to wait/queue; etc.)]
common to find more uncommon toppings. (more unusual toppings)?
Tomato pie is made opposite of pizza: (in the reverse order to pizza)?
mozzerella cheese made from Indian water buffalo. (buffalo milk.)?
13,386 pizzas to locations nation-wide. [nationwide]
