Identify a pizza type please

[wolfylee]

Can anyone help identify this type of pizza?  I bought this last night whilst waiting for my dough to complete it's 48-hour ferment.

Sorry for the blurry photos...by the way, the pizza was quite rubbish - the dough was awful.

I took a lot more than that but everyone came out blurry - these are the best I could muster.

The top pic sorta looks like a Pizza Hut Thin but the crumb shot looks too thick for that so I don't know.
Where did you but it wolfy? What do they call it?

[wolfylee]

Ha - well that's exactly the problem.  they would call it a 'pizza' - I'm not kidding.  

I got it from a local takeaway, not a chain.

Jus call it..."the type of pizza I'm never gonna buy again".

I won't be - I made a pizza today that was by far the best I had ever made.  

I put my stone on the top rack of my oven, preheated it for an hour then put the broiler on for 12 mins and stuck my pizza in on a screen.  The crust was burnt as it was actually touching the broiler element in a number of places.  I cooked for 4 mins then moved the pizza stone to the bottom and put the Pizza on the stone without the screen for 1 minute(should have been 2)

The crust was perfect, albeit burnt - slightly chewy and not in the slightest bit bready.

Literally 10 minutes later my G3 Ferrari Pizza oven turned up from Amazon!!!!

I vote cracker style. Looks like it was made with the intention of having a thin, crisp, "crackery" crust.

Looks like it's cut kinda funny too. Go back there an tell them people you want your money back Wolfy!  
I have to admit though...it looks pretty tasty, I'd hit it.

Jeez I hope they WEREN'T after a cracker crust - if they were they should shut shop for a few months and see if they can figure out what is going so dreadfully wrong, this forum would be a good place to start.  You can't see it because I had to shrink the pictures but some of though isn't actually cooked.

The toppings are great actually - this was a garlic, mushrooms, extra cheese, extra sauce.  It's fatty as hell but really tasty.

Oh and Bob, I did hit it - I hit it HARD!  Well you would do after half a bottle of JD!

The Bucket-o-Blood Tavern "special".....jus look at the way they cut that damn abomination. 
Is there not one sober human being working in that $h?t hole place...    Sheeeesh!

i don't know, the crust looks pretty thick and doughy to me.

I'd say it almost looks like a Greek pie.  Not a "bar-style" Greek (cheese to the edge), but it looks like it was cooked in a pan and that dough looks thick like it had a pan rise.  More information would certainly help.  What city and state was this purchased in?  What was the name of the shop?

Looks like drunk pizza to me, at least that is when I would probably buy and eat it...

I got the impression the poster is British (use of the word takeaway). There are a lot of general takeaway places in the UK that sell an assortment of fast food items: pizza, indian, turkish/greek, fried chicken. The pizza bases are often pre-made and usually not very good.
