NY vs CHICAGO. WHOS GOT BETTER PIZZA

[MOHAWK FREAK]

I don’t believe it’s even a close call.  CHICAGO.  Both times I was in New York it was just a brutal experience. The first time I wasn’t ready to order and I had to go to the end of this very long line then when I finally got my pizza it was ok at best.  The second time was worse than the first. Nothing but yummy yum yum in Chicago!!!

Chicago Pizza is not Pizza

It's a giant slab of bread with cheese and Spoghetti O's slathered on top.

Chicago pizza is more like lasagna.

Naturally everyone thinks deep dish when thinking of Chicago. NY/NJ pizza doesnt have toppings on them to speak of, which in most cases midwesterners want. The go to in Chicago and around is thin crust WITH enough topping to even taste. Not a "pie" with a ladle full of sauce and a sprinkle of "Moots a rell". We can argue all day but it doesnt matter.

I’m noticing no one has an opinion of Detroit Pizza. One of these pizzarias recently opened by me. I am not a pepperoni fan and when I saw this is a big thing with Detroit Pizza I decided to pass. Does anyone have an opinion as it compares to NY and Chicago pizza?

I like both. I like the deep-dish style and in Chi-town they do it right! I kind of like Detroit-style pizza too.

Detroit pizza is tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese on a stolen hubcap.

Pizza, when done right, is great. When it's mass produced or made poorly, it sucks.
Old Forge, PA has several excellent pizza restaurants.
New Haven of course
NYC
NJ
These spots are among the best. I only had Chicago pizza a few times. There was a place south of Midway Airport that had a pizza with Italian beef toppings. It was amazing. Thin crispy crust cut into smaller pieces than slices. My 1 experience with deep dish was good though not great. Giordano?

Deep dish is the pizza for tourists. Most Chicago area people eat thin (tavern style), far superior to deep dish. I've never had NY style so cannot compare.

Was that place right on Rt. 50? Was it Lou Malnati's or something like that?
