I've eaten real spaagetti in Italy, just north of Venice. The noodles were coated in olive oil and a pile of red sauce sat dead center on the plate. There was no meat in the sauce.

Down here in the South I was raised to think that a nice sauce (spaghet) was just full of meat. An upstate Italy transplant friend taught that it was all about the tomato and not about chunky meat... I think most of the "pizza chains" it's about the quality of cheese used. Thin crust and real cheese... not this fake dog food stuff that they call Mozzerel.
