I’d like to chip in with a favourite of mine: Detroit style [1]. A rectangular pizza baked in a greased, shallow pan with cheese that goes all the way to the edge. The bottom comes out golden brown with a fried texture but the base is otherwise very light and fluffy. This gives a crispy/soft/chewy contrast with the sauce/cheese/pepperoni on top. This type of pizza can also handle more sauce and toppings than a New York style without getting soggy. I prefer crispy over soggy any day, and I love toppings. The cheese around the edges comes in contact with the metal pan and turns brown and crunchy, just like you get when the cheese leaks out into the pan with a grilled cheese sandwich. Amazing pizza! If you don’t have a rectangular pan you can also make it in a cast iron skillet. Works extremely well!

Okay, Okay, so this is tough on me. I never thought of myself as a pizza fundamentalist. I didn't think I'd find a pizza hill to die on. But I also never thought anything like "Detroit" pizza existed. I can deal with the shape: Sicilian pizza has been a thing for a long time, and let's face it: Chicago deep dish is standing on the should of a giant when it improved on the thickness of Sicilian. But cheese all the way to the edge, and browned crispy? That's almost too much. But not quite: It's the type of cheese. I don't see mozzarella in that link you posted, I don't even see the lesser trinity of 3 cheeses. I see something called "brick" cheese. That's just a bridge too far. I won't be the one to push the button on this and trigger the fallout that comes with it, Detroit has enough problems as it is. But you need to hope the true pizza extremists don't hear about this. Maybe delete the post, or at least put a /s sarcasm flag on the end. Also at the beginning, and in the middle. Maybe one after each word. Also Detroit pizza looks awesome and I want some right now.
