Best Pizza: NY vs. Chicago?

Facepunch · 10-20-10, 12:10 PM

It is very hard to find a bad pizza. The worst I have ever had was at a Pizza Hut in Camp Warhorse Iraq.
Awful.

Best I have had, was in New York. Chicago style is good I just prefer NY Style.

Good Places in VA = Astoria in Woodbridge., BigSlice in Georgetown

Good in WV = Bent Willy's Pizza, Casa Di Amici and Colosante's (Morgantown)

Good in Vermont = Jockey Hollows

Good in Boston = Gino's

I cant remember the two I go to In New York, it has been a while.

As far as Chains Go, the Papa John's 3 Cheese pizza is probably the best.

Fukk, I'm hungry for pizza now.

you should also make a thread for chain pizza places, my vote goes to papa johns, i love the garlic sauce they give you to pour all over your pizza

Late Nite Pie, Houston.

Edit: http://latenitepiehouston.com/ This place delivers beer and wine too!

Everyone has different tastes period

East Coast probably would win if you polled a lot of people or pizza experts

thisisit · 10-20-10, 05:15 PM

If you have ever been to Italy you would say that it is the best very different in so of the smaller villages, but very flavorful, and the crust is to die for

Well... according to the poll...

CHICAGO WINS!

Jericholic · 10-21-10, 11:05 PM

Chicago style for me and it's not close.

Brock Landers · 10-21-10, 11:13 PM

I challenge anyone who loves a good pie to eat one from Lou Malnati's in/around Chicago and not just think they had as good as it gets for that kind of food.

DiggityDaggityDo · 10-22-10, 12:55 AM

When I was in Chicago, I was recomended a place (And I cannot reember the name of the place). I went there, and you were allowed to use a crayon or marker or pencil or whatever the **** you wanted to write with, to write on the walls. But yet, it was still a classy looking place. I was told they had great pizza. Let me tell you, the pizza there was a fukking joke. Anybody know what place I am talking about? If you do, lets warn SBR posters not go to there, please.

If you decide to go there regardless of my warning, look for my writing on the wall, "DiggityDaggityDo Was Here".

Pizza is a uniquely American dish

DiggityDaggityDo · 10-22-10, 01:58 AM

something like we call pizza was invented in Italy, but it is not what we really call pizza.

THE PROFIT · 10-22-10, 02:20 AM

I mean, nowadays they throw some catshit on some dough at CiCIs & these fuks call it pizza. Pizza has tomato sauce, and they didnt use that in the mediterranean many years ago. Flatbread was a peasant food eaten by the poor with some white shitty sauce & maybe some goat cheese

Napoli (Italy)

Dad · 10-22-10, 12:05 PM

Pizza in Italy can't be half bad.

Mr. Jones · 10-22-10, 04:30 PM

Chicago is the best. But understand that there are 2 distinctly different Chicago pizzas. Deep Dish and Thin Crust. I like both but prefer Thin Crust.

Speaking of great thin crust. Sammy's in Duluth, Mn takes a backseat to nobody.

Brock Landers · 10-22-10, 08:43 PM

Waterstpub87 · 10-22-10, 08:44 PM

You know that is a good question. I can't say with absolute certainty.

As a kid many years ago I remember when the deep dish first appeared in Chicago. Long before that we had great thin crust always cut in squares. If that is in fact NY style....well, you learn something everyday. But that is the pizza we had in the neighborhoods in Chicago in the late 50's and early 60's.... and always cut in squares.

Never had any so-called NY pizza cut in squares anywhere. And any NY pizza I've ever had did have a slightly thicker crust than the really thin Chicago generally found in the neighborhood parlors. Go anywhere and ask for a "Chicago Cut" and they should know to cut it in squares.

Most of us I think just always thought of 2 different Chicago pizzas. Deep dish and really thin crust.

This thread must have caused at least 50 dominos orders to land on sam9ball's desk

GOIRISH · 10-22-10, 10:07 PM

i always considered new york style to be very large pieces that you have to bend to eat, with a somewhat thin crust but not extremely thing

craig4nr · 10-22-10, 10:16 PM

Chicago has the best pizza. No question.

Also, I had pizza in Italyand it sucked.

yeah, I really dont know either. I just know for most discussion purposes its NY vs CHI is thin vs dish, but who knows

Neither, the hungry tourists will eat anything. The place to go for a good pizza is Bensonhurst.
