I have been living in Rome for 2 1/2 months, and I still can't figure out a consensus on what the different types of pizza are!

I miss Pizza Hut stuffed-crust pepperoni (with pretzel crust flavor)!!!!

In fact Rome is not the right place to understand what is pizza. You should go Naples. Keep in mind that Italy is made of a lot, really a lot of cultures. It is not the same to stay in Naples than in Rome. Naples was a Greek colony, Rome was an Etruscan colony. If you are in Rome you can understand what is carbonara, matriciana, abbacchio, etc. If you ask for a pizza you are astray.
Although I agree with you I would take note that Naples being a Greek colony and Rome an Etruscan colony do not have much to do with differences in pizza matters. Those societies and the appearance of pizza have a couple of millenia between them.
Not so sure about that ... old habits die hard. In albanian "pite" is a pizza like bread. And albanians and greek cultures shared some stuff.
