Deep Dish or Thin Crust

Sure, a well-made crust can enhance the pizza-eating experience, but if the toppings are crap, having nice dough underneath isn't going to do anything for me.

so would u recommend Bottom's Up? I've heard they aren't too bad but at 6.75 a slice it's expensive as all hell.

Yeah, Bottom's Up is definitely the best deep-dish pizza in Richmond, so if that's your thing, you've got to try it. As far as the price, their slices are huge, and they're usually loaded with toppings. This is the kind of pizza slice you have to eat with a fork and a knife, and most folks can't eat much more than a single slice. So really, if you compare it to most other entrees on any other casual dining menu, it's really about average.

I still prefer an authentic Italian thin-crust to any deep-dish I've had thus far. Of course, I've never had real Chicago deep-dish, nor have I had a NY slice, so you could say my pizza experience is somewhat limited.
