In truly pizza-crazed cities like New York, San Francisco and Chicago, fanatical artisans vie with one another to see who can be most slavishly faithful to the principles of Vera Pizza Napoletana, the final word in pizza purity. But even in less food-obsessed American cities, various brick-oven restaurants compete for the approval of a fickle, pizza-geek public that looks closely at everything from the sourcing of the fior de latte to the presence of "tip sag" issues with the crust.
