1. What description best matches the crust used for pizza?
White or tan, doughy, stretchy, chewy, and too soft to pick up
Made from cornmeal and a good two inches thick
Made from a sheep's stomach with perforated edges extruded with cherry cobbler
Made from dough, baked until golden brown, soft enough to be folded but firm enough to be held

Square
Sort of an amorphous ovular blob
Circular
3. How should tomato sauce be applied to the crust?

Not at all. Only olive oil.
4. And the cheese?
Injected into the edge of the crust
What cheese?
Grated or shredded cheese spread evenly over the entire surface, melted, as a foundation upon which other toppings are placed

5. Should there be any additional toppings?
Absolutely! As you like it - pepperoni is a perennial favorite, but all sorts of meats and vegetables, piled high, are also acceptable
Only ham and pineapple
Just a sprig of basil in the center ought to do it
No. Cheese only. I'm either 7 years old or very boring.

If you did well on this quiz: congratulations! You, along with billions of others all over the globe, have enjoyed that internationally beloved food known as "pizza," which was first made in the manner you are accustomed to in Little Italy, in New York City, before becoming popular the world over. The kind of pizza that you have had and enjoyed is best described as New York style pizza, and is roughly the same with only small variations whether you are eating your pizza in San Francisco, or London, or Tokyo, or Dubai, or Addis Ababa, or Moscow, or Sydney, or Santiago.

If you didn't do great on this quiz: that's okay. But you may be thinking of some other food. Perhaps a quiche, or a pie, or some kind of calzone, or Neapolitan grease soup served in a bread bowl - that stuff is popular, too, though not so much outside of Naples. Or, you may just be from Chicago.

How do proper pizza chefs add the tomato sauce UNDER a layer of cheese? Wouldn't it be easier to just put it on first? ;-)

I've seen a square pizza, so clearly this is wrong. Fact check in the future :/ . You brought up my one reason for disliking margarita pizza. I wish it could have the same toppings like tomatoes, but with evenly distributed cheese.
