Chicken doesn't belong on pizza, and ricotta is kind of dubious!
Ok, maybe the old timers don't like all those inventive toppings, but isn't traditional Italian pizza served at neither Regina or Ernestos? Umberto's has what I always considered traditional Italian. The big square pizza that's very fluffy and doughy with nothing on it except cheese and sauce. It's $1.10/slice and really amazing stuff.
