@Mañ'O'Green, while you were probably going for brevity, I would call it anything but boring! Like weed, you wanna smoke schwag or the good shit!
Personal opinion, but I wouldn't call Neapolitan thin crust.. Thinner, maybe a bit compared to what most people in the US are accustomed to.. It's definitely not Chicago or Detroit, but most people in the US think thin crust is is more cracker/crunchy type. Would say a little more thin than NY style with a fluffier more airy crust.
What you described is a Margherita pizza. While that's THE "classic" Neapolitan, it's just one set of toppings. Even though Italians and purists usually limit pizzas to 3ish toppings, like any style of pizza, you can put whatever you want on it. The Margherita is one of the most complicated to master as well. With just three ingredients plus the dough, there is nothing to hide any flaws so the technique and quality of ingredients must be top notch. The sauce just crushed San Marzano tomatoes, salt, and sometimes basil so you get the true taste and the quality of the tomato. Most American pizza sauces have tomato paste and seasonings
Like your coffee analogy, you can take it to whatever level you want. If you can't tell the difference, that's fine and there's little caesars and dominoes....An analogy I used here the other week with ice cream. Pizza is like boobs. Never met a pizza I didn't like, but some are just better than others!
