The preference one has for thick or thin pizza crust is a conversation every Milwaukeean has had at one time or another. Some like the more-filling thick crust, a la Edwardo's or even Pizza Hut, whereas others are fond of paper-thin crusts, like the crust on pizzas served at Zaffiro's, 1724 N. Farwell Ave., or Maria's Pizzeria, 5025 W. Forest Home Ave.

And some of us don't discriminate and are more than happy to devour any pizza pie, whether it's thick crusted, thin crusted or somewhere in between.

But which do you prefer: thick or thin crust? Sound-off, Milwaukee, and weigh in on your 'za of choice.

Thick crust. I love a pizza with a thick crust because it's more filling. I prefer to eat one or two hearty slices instead of four or five lighter ones. Plus, I love the buttery / greasy flavor of a thick crust.

Thin crust. Thin-crust pizza is the way to go. Whether it's crispy and crackery, or soft enough to roll up into a pizza burrito, the thinner the better in my book. Thick crust leaves me feeling too full and gross after I eat it.
