Delicious Chicago-style pizza, or that paper-thin junk they serve in NYC?

[Padraig18]

Which would you rather have?

:P

[Fenris]

1. This poll is biased!

Italy makes the best!

[Padraig18]

3. 'Biased'?

Whatever gave you that idea? ;)

[GOPisEvil]

2. Push poll much?

:D

That said...it is all good. I love pizza. Sometimes I am in the mood for Chicago-style; sometimes I like New York-style.

[Bat Boy]

15. Pizza whore.

You said you loved us once...

[GOPisEvil]

20. Oh I do...I've never been to New York.

But, I HAVE been to Chicago.

[Bat Boy]

21. But you were thinking about New York, weren't you?

I feel so cheap...

[GOPisEvil]

24. Never...it was all about Chicago!

In fact...I've got to get back...

[Bat Boy]

25. Alright. We'll let you come back.

But you're sleeping on the sofa.

[GOPisEvil]

26. Works for me.

Last time I visited some DUers, I slept on the floor. The sofa would be luxury.

[The empressof all]

4. Thin and greasy

The only way to go.

[Padraig18]

5. You haven't lived, until you've had a Chicago stuffed pie!

My favorite is bacon, spinach and ham with mushrooms... *drool*

:D

[The empressof all]

14. I have lived.

But life with Pizza is better in New York

[landdaddy]

6. Umm

grew up in Chicago, been all over this country and there is only one place to get a good pizza---Chicago!:loveya:

[Padraig18]

7. Yep!

About 3" thick, and baked right on the bricks of a REAL pizza oven!

:thumbsup:

[thatgemguy]

13. I think that's called lasagne... n/t

[Dookus]

8. New York style all the way...

the kind ya gotta blot with a paper towel before you can eat it. YUMMMMMMMMM!!!!

[The empressof all]

19. It needs to be really hot or cold for breakfast

I love to roll it from its pointy tip into a cone shape. God do I miss it. Can not get it where I live now but every time I go back home It's my favorite thing to get. By the way the absolutely best NY Pizza is in the Path Station in Jersey City. I think it's called Three Guys. I haven't been there for years. Does anyone know if it's still there

[Insider]

48. three guys!

it was there 5 years ago. THAT'S pizza. with a small grape soda.

then, white castle for lunch.

then, a sabrett's hotdog for dinner.

[Bat Boy]

9. If you can slide your pizza under the door, it's not pizza.

Chicago! One pizza can last a week if you want it to.

Pequod's. The best.

[Padraig18]

16. "If you can slide your pizza under the door, it's not pizza"

Truer words were never spoekn, my friend.

:hi:

[chicagojoe]

45. Yes !!!! Pequods IS the best !!!!

Clybourn St., or the original in Morton Grove ?
Now we must never speak of it again, lest the place become full of New Yorkers !!!!!!!!!!

[testing123]

10. NY can't make pizza

:puke:

[iamjoy]

11. Usually New York, but...

Chicago pizza done right is yummy! When it is really like a pie stuffed with all kinds of good stuff, like cheese with the chunky tomato sauce on TOP of the cheese.

The thing is, most places that try to do Pan Pizza really screw it up, you feel like you're getting just a piece of bread with a little bit of tomato sauce and a layer of melted cheese.

Of course, New York Pizza done right is not a piece of cardboard, the crust needs to be flexible enough so you can fold that big wide slice practically in half.

OMG - I'm hungry!!!

[WoodrowFan]

12. thin crust rules!

who wants a big pile of dough with some crap on it.

[greatauntoftriplets]

17. Gino's East is the epitome of pizza.

Uno and Due are also excellent, but that cornmeal crust of Gino's......<drooling>

Edwardo's is good, too.

[Susang]

23. More of a Pequod's gal myself

I love that carbonization on the crust! Yummy yum yum. :-)

[GOPisEvil]

33. Yes, but Giordano's won the informal contest!

Of course...we didn't make it to Pequod's. Next time!

[Wapsie B]

47. Edwardo's rocks!

I want pizza I can sink my teeth into. Chicago-stuffed is food for the gods.

[calico1]

18. Definitley thin crust NY style

I don't care for "bready" pizza.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

22. NY Pizza

no contest. I hate the Yankees but love the pizza!

[Utah_Lefty]

27. I really like Taco Pizza

[Amaya]

28. The only real pizza is in Connecticut

Chicago style blows :puke:

[Lydia Leftcoast]

35. After nine years on the East Coast, I can't stand that doughy

Chicago stuff, which is unfortunately the most common kind in Minneapolis as well.

My favorite pizza ever is from the Wooster Square neighborhood in New Haven--where the real Italian-Americans from the Amalfi Peninsula live.

[Amaya]

37. I think I've been to that place

:)

[TahitiNut]

41. Yeah ... Mystic Pizza's not bad.

[DS1]

29. New York Pizza Rawks!

fuck, I'm hungry now

[Rabrrrrrr]

30. Chicago for me. It's the only thing Chicago does better than NYC.

But maybe I'm biased, since I'm a Wisconsinite by birth, but I like to at least have enough cheese that I can't see the dough underneath.

When I moved to NYC, and went for my first pizza, I stared at it in awe and, yes, disgust. "This is pizza?"

[chicagojoe]

46. Chicago is the Center of the Universe !!!

[RichV]

31. That NY crap is winning???

Give me Giordano's or Gino's East any time over that floppy stuff.

[Exultant Democracy]

32. New Haven brick oven pizza

nothing else can even come close.

[Amaya]

34. YummmmY

:9

[Lydia Leftcoast]

36. See post #35 for complete agreement

:-)

[The empressof all]

38. After all this thinking about Pizza

Guess what I just told my SO to pick up for dinner.

Thanks guys-I'm gonna open up some Moose Drool.

[chaska]

39. The food network (cable) recently did a taste test...

They got firemen from Los Angeles to try an assortment of both styles. The firemen were then asked to vote. Hate to break it to ya guys, but NY style won easily.

Both are good - I'm partial to ny style - a lot depends on the pizza shop.

[TahitiNut]

40. West Coast Style (Stufft Pizza of Los Gatos - The "Bogie")

About 3/4" thick 'thin style' but w/o heartburn from too much tomato sauce ... and lots of cheese.

[chaska]

42. Dough gives me heartburn (donuts are the worst). Tomato sauce? I'm fine.

[Radical Activist]

43. Heaven has been relocated to Uno's Pizzaria in downtown Chicago

because that's were you'll find the best pizza in heaven or earth. Medicci's in Chicago is probably just as good.

[Uroboros]

44. Sorry..NYC thin crust all the way.

Reminds me of this show I once saw on the local PBS station here in NYC. Show was about sandwiches (and the like) around the country. I was flabbergasted with what the heck you guys do with hot dogs over there. Here a hot dog usually comes accompanied with some combination of mustard, ketchup, sauerkraut and/or onions. But your hot dogs are the equivalent of your pizza. Topped with anything and everything that's edible. :)
