I contend that deep dish is not even real pizza. More like A pasta dish minus the pasta. New York style is where its at, thin and greasy mmmmmmmmmmm. I'll eat both out of my sheer belief in equliaty but if I had my choice it'd be New York :yum:
:smash:
I object!
New York style is an overrated snack food. It might as well be a tray full of crackers covered in similar toppings, and then served as hors d'oeuvres! Oh... how dainty:no:. For shame!
I find it hard to believe that this is even a question. If you need to eat some parchment paper covered with grease, by all means, go to NYC. But if you want pizza, kiddies, it's all about Chicago.
Can't answer. I've had New York pizza in New York, but never Chicago pizza in Chicago. Until I experience both delicacies on their home turf, it wouldn't be fair to judge.
I lived for 9 years in New York and ten in Chicago. Trust me, the pizza in Chicago is outstanding. Just thinking about a Carmen's stuffed spinach makes my salivary glands spurt like faucets.
Actually, the food situation is just much better in Chicago than it is in NYC. Take your pick — Mexican food, Vietnamese food, Ethiopian food, Thai food, steakhouses, sushi; I don't care which category you choose. Odds are very good you will find a better restaurant that offers the food at half the price in Chicago as opposed to the Big Apple.
Take Thai food — there's this little hole in the wall place on the North Side of Chicago, called Siam Noodle and Rice, and it's just outstanding. I have dreams about their nam tok. And it's cheap, cheap, cheap. That nam tok, which would command between twelve and thirty bucks at a proper NYC restaurant? $6.50. In 2008 dollars.
I spent nine years trying to find a Thai restaurant that was anywhere near as good in NYC, and I never found it.
The limp, greasy "pizza" is the least of NYC's culinary shortcomings.
Personally, my favorite style of pizza is Sicilian, though I also enjoy a nice Chicago.
If I want a thin pizza, I'll take a St. Louis style over a New York any day. Although, It's more a snack food than a meal.
how can anyone gah pizza? i like chicago :) though deep pan - stuffed crust in england is a winner :2thumbsup:
I have had new york and chicago pizza's... style that is, the pizza's were made in uk, chigaco wins.... i do like a nice thin pizza sometimes though...

you people just don't understand. I'm sure Hooah will agree with me on this one. The greasiness of the NYC style pizza is a GOOD thing. it makes it just that much more delicious.
Honestly, I thing New Jersey pizza is the best. Yes, it's almost exactly the same as NY pizza but we made the sauce better and we made the crust crispier too.
yeah, AS is on the ball on this one. the greasiness is good..... for clogging arteries..... :rolleyes:Quote:

Good sir. I take offense. If you are going to be on this Earth you need to live! Why do all of y'all abstain from vices?Quote:

Chicago all the way. I'm disappointed in you, Strike. How you of all people could prefer that flimsy, sissy, greasy piece of cardboard to the robust manliness that is Chicago style pizza is beyond me.
I want Pizza not some mess of tomato sauce and sausage. How are you supposed to eat that whilst drinking a case of beer! Can't be done say I!Quote:

That sounds about right.Quote:

That thing from Chicago looks like a cake, the NYC thing looks very similar to what I get at an Italian restaurant here.
GAH !!!
Because I have not tried either.
i dont mind much either way, im more used to (after being shown it) NY pizza, but i like chicago, i think there both snacks, but they can both be made into meals with chips and salad (or something fattening for all you green haters)
Chicago - I had my last one at Giordano's during a business trip in September.
Excellent (very different though from what you expect from a pizza in Europe).
I have to admit I was not able to eat the entire pizza :shame:
I don't know if I can forgive you:no:Quote:
