Seems Italian sausage would have been a traditional crust stuffing. as boiling it in tomato sauce and serving it on french bread soaked with the tomato sauce of green peppers and onions and mild peppers is right up there with pizza. But Hot dogs are best wrapped in a garlic bread with Good home made potato chips and a wide variety of condiments.

That looks disgusting, I bet the sausage is guaranteed to be 99% meat free.
When I lived in Scotland during the 80s, the local chippy owner used to frisbee the frozen pizzas from the freezer straight into the deep frat fryer !

@22, I recently moved back to the US after living there about 3 years. I lived next door to a chippy with a hot food display, filled with chips, fish, sausages, various fried things and yes, pizza. Perhaps this would more accurately be called a fry bar, not that this stopped any of my friends from Glasgow and West Lothian from calling it a chippy. Or from calling the place a few blocks away that sold kebabs and pizzas and chips a chippy. Maybe the term is a little looser in Scotland? I'll leave you with this, notice the pizza box behind the "Just Eat" sign: http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1rfif….

Hotdog, sure - I'll try it - but does anyone make pizza with a pretzel crust? Google is not much help much in this regard - though their is a place calling itself "Pretzel Crust Pizza Co." in Kansas City. (Kansas City Yelp has no review.)
That, too, would require a mustard drizzle.

I can't wait to try some fine english cuisine during my June trip to England, Scotland and Wales.

@21 yep. Maybe I'm in one right now.
Where I'm from, Manchester, chippies sell fish, chips & related sundries. You get pizza from a pizza house, a chicken shop, a kebab shop or a plain old takeaway.
Have you lived in Scotland or just visited? This side of the border (though I can't speak for the south who have strange items on their chippy menus) a chippy looks like this:

But you buy pizza from one of these, which is definitely not a chippy:

If in doubt, remember that the chippy has a hot food display between the counter and the customer. Pizza/kebab/fried chicken takeaways will have a refrigerator under the counter instead. There is also the Chinese chippy, offering both the full Chinese menu & full chippy menu, again with hot food display the customer side of the counter. However, if it doesn't have a chippy menu it's just a Chinese. And you never get an Indian chippy - it's just an Indian.

@18, Have you been ever been to a chippy!? I can't say what goes on in an English chippy, but in Scotland it's like half of what they sell.

@18, 13: Let us not forget the grand American tradition of the weenie wink (which is AWESOME with apple sage Field Roast).

@8 - pizza would be very out of place at a chippy.
@13 - there's no pastry in toad-in-the-hole - it's batter. Sausage in pastry is a sausage roll.

@12 You probably have to supply your own. Personally, I would not stray more than 30 feet from a toilet for twenty-four hours after eating that. And I'd buy the BIG can of air freshener.

I think Papa Murphy's cheeseburger pizza sounds grosser, but that's mainly because of the pickles.
13
Believe it or not, sausage stuck into otherwise innocent pastry is a English tradition.
Ladies and gents, I give you: Toad in the Hole.

Is Britain trying to out obese the US? Processed meat, processed cheese food, processed bleached wheat. Does it come with a Metamucil chaser?

@3, "octopus"!? Disgusting. Now, corn, mayo and squid with a little sprinkle of dried seaweed...that's Japanese pizza.

When I visited Japan, I had a pizza that was... I think it was goat cheese and honey. It was awesome
