    Default New York V Chicago

    Who has the better pizza?

    New York


    Chicago


    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:
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    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. 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.

    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.
    Do you hate Drug Cartels? Do You believe that the Drug War is basically a failure? Do you think that if we Legalized the Cannabis market, that use rates would drop, we could put age limits on cannabis, tax it, and other wise regulate it? Join The ORG Marijuana Policy Project!

    In American politics, similar to British politics, we have a choice between being shot in our left testicle or the right testicle. Both parties advocate pissing on the little guys, only in different ways and to a different little guy.

    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.

    See, that's the problem with New York pizza: it's just snack food. Chicago pizza is a dish.

    so i think the consensus is that NY pizza is for snacks and fun, while chicago is for the sit-down meals and such.

    That thing from Chicago looks like a cake, the NYC thing looks very similar to what I get at an Italian restaurant here.

    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

    Giordano's is an okay Chicago pie, certainly not the top shelf. If you get a chance next time, try to eat a Carmen's stuffed spinach and pepperoni pizza. One of those bad boys is enough to feed a small Mexican army for a month. And needless to say, it tastes like an orgasm dipped in butter.
