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.

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-style, baby!

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.

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.

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![]()

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.
Papa John's is the best.
