在国外吃饭是用到英语最多的地方，也是检验你的英语是否地道的好机会。外国人都很喜欢吃披萨，但是你是否了解地道的美国人是如何点披萨的？马上来学习几句，以备不时之需吧！
1. PLAIN OR CHEESE? 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)一词表达不加馅料的披萨；;纽约之外，说这种披萨则要用cheese(芝士)一词。
2. PIECE OR SLICE? 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? 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? 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 SAG披萨尖儿
Tip sag refers to 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部分。
6. CHICAGO-STYLE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? 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. APIZZA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 PIZZA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（传统的番茄酱和芝士披萨）；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 PIZZA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。
