        1. PLAIN OR CHEESE?1、原味还是芝士？
        Plain meaning without toppings is New York-area vernacular while outside New York such a pizza would be referred to as cheese.在纽约地区方言里，用plain（原味）一词不加馅料的披萨；纽约之外，说这种披萨则要用cheese（芝士）一词。
        2. PIECE OR SLICE?2、一块还是一片？
        Speaking of slices, in New York you can say, "I'm getting a slice," and people will know what you're talking about. However, elsewhere "piece of pizza" is preferred, and if you say "slice," you'll need to qualify it with "of pizza."说到是一片片的披萨（slices），在纽约你可以说I'm getting a slice（我要片披萨），大家就知道你什么意思了。但在其它地方，你要说piece of pizza（一片披萨），你要是说slice（一片）的话，就要说清楚是“披萨”。
        3. PIE OR PIZZA?3、派还是披萨？
        While to east coasters, it might feel perfectly natural to say "pie" when referring to a whole pizza, not so for those in other regions. "Pie" was described by west coasters as "pretentious" and "only something someone in a movie would say".对于东边沿海地区人而言，谈到整个披萨时说pie（派）再自然不过了，但对于其它地区却不是这样。pie一词被西部沿海地区人称为“装腔作势”，而且是“只有电影里的人会这么说”。
        4. PIZZA PARLOR, PIZZA SHOP, OR PIZZERIA?4、披萨馆、比萨商店还是披萨餐馆？
        Pizza place was the most popular, followed by pizza parlor and, a close third, pizzeria.pizza place（披萨店儿）的说法最普遍，接着是pizza parlor（披萨馆），紧随其后的是pizzeria（披萨餐馆）。
        5. TIP SAG5、披萨尖儿
        Tip sag refers to when the tip of one's pizza slice droops down.披萨尖儿指一片披萨顶端馅料掉下的地方。
        6. CHICAGO-STYLE6、芝加哥风味
        Chicago does have its own thin-crust pizza -- described as crisp and crunchy like a cracker -- which, some say, is even more popular than deep dish or stuffed.芝加哥风味也确实有薄脆款披萨，松脆有嚼劲，有如士力架一般；有些人说甚至要比要比深盘披萨和卷边芝加哥披萨更受欢迎。
        7. PARTY-CUT OR PIE-CUT?7、切成方格还是切成块？
        Party-cut means cutting in a grid, while pie-cut means cutting in triangles or wedges.party-cut（派对装）是指切成方格，而pie-cut（派式切法）是切成三角形或者稧形。
        8. APIZZA8、披萨薄饼
        Perhaps less well-known, although no less delicious, is New Haven-style pizza, known in local vernacular as apizza.纽黑文披萨也许没那么有名，但味道绝不逊色，方言里称之为apizza（披萨薄饼）。
        9. OLD FORGE PIZZA9、方形大披萨
        The most popular varieties of the Old Forge are the red, a traditional tomato sauce and cheese; the white, hold the sauce; and the black, which has cheese, black pepper, black olives, and anchovies.方形大披萨花样丰富，最受欢迎的是：红色大披萨，是传统的番茄酱和芝士；抹了酱的白色大披萨；黑色大披萨，上面有芝士、黑胡椒黑橄榄和凤尾鱼。
        10. ALL-DRESSED PIZZA10、盛装披萨
        All-dressed is Montreal slang for "everything" on it. The all-dressed pizza comes with mushrooms, green peppers, and pepperoni, not literally "everything" but still a lot. all-dressed（盛装）一词是蒙特利尔俚语，意为“应有尽有”。盛装披萨有蘑菇、青椒和意大利辣香肠，也不是“一应俱全”，但料也不少。
