BTW id you want to say negative 1 (-1) that's OK too.

I would say Elvio's is a 2 and Giuseppe's is a 2 as well although thinner than Elvio's. They are thinner than the Pepe's and other CT pizzas that I have eaten but not thin as those really thin NY pies you can get.

Elvio's has the right mix of sauce and cheese and when it comes out and you fold it the right amount of hot oil drips on your plate-yum. Giuseppe's is ok and the sauce is just ok. Plus I can eat Elvio's the next day-cold or heated- and it is great. I don't like Giueseppe's the next day.

The thinnest pizza I have ever had was at a bar called "Pete and Elda's" in Belmar, NJ. Take one piece of paper out of your printer and the crust is still thinner. Great great pizza.

Pineneedles- I also love the CT pizza-Pepe's and Sally's and when we travel in the area will stop and get a pie-or two I know I am supposed to like only one-but I enjoyed both when I had them.

The only time I like thick crust is when it is on an authentic Chicago deep dish. I have tried a few places around here with very thick crust but it is not deep dish.
