    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

    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.

    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.

    If you need a tool to eat it - it's not pizza, it's something else.

    Proper pizza is folded or rolled, and fresh out of the oven so that what you fellas are calling "grease" is known as 'juice'. The obvious problem here is that you guys have been served no-longer-fresh product; that's like eating a ham sandwich that has sat out for an hour, and deciding it suxors because the bread was hard and ham smelt 'funny'.
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    Between those 2, I must say Chicago. Nothin like it on a cold winter evening...

    Now, as of pure distilled pizza pleasure, there is a tiny restaurant around the corner from St Peter's sq in Rome that make pizza that's so beautiful I have considered marrying the cook. No matter what his sexual persuasions.

    Fixed!
    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.

    I'll give that one a try next time - seems I have to keep my fingers crossed that the recession will be a short one and I can plan for the next trip during next year

    And I will give my best to finish the pizza this time

    Just looking at the picture I thought maybe half of it before I'm full.

    I love both styles of pizza. Though Chicago style is basically quite the same as Sicilian style that my Italian roots come from; I chose NY because I really do like the crunchy texture of the thin crust. Chicago stuffed crust is more like lasagna to me. I wouldn't spit out either kind, mind you.

    Ah, good taste edges out freakish Sicilian/Chicago style dough-sponges covered in tomato sauce pretending to be pizza/pasta dishes at once.

    There's no beating paper thin crust pizza out of a 900f oven. The pie's on me anytime for the refined 12 who voted NY style. True Orgah heroes
