Deep Dish Pizza (Chicago-Obama) or Thin and Chewy (New York-Clinton)?
Someone posted a picture of a Chicago-style pizza they ordered and it did 2 things. Got me very hungry and I noticed that our 2 candidates represent the 2 cities/styles of pizza. With that said, I love Obama for the primary but as far as pizza is concerned Hillary and New York style gets the nod. How about you?

no crust.

We'll leave the crust for those white-haired codgers in the GOP.

7. If it came down to pizza preferences?
Then yes, thin and chewy. Raw dough makes me ill.

8. The only pizza I really love is
my Mom's. It's nothing but sliced summer vine ripened tomatoes on sliced mozzarella with parmesan sprinkled on top with a drizzle of olive oil and fresh basil on a really crispy crust. It ruined me for all other pizza. I make tons of it in the summer and freeze it in slices.

16. And it's so easy to make!
For a really crispy crust, use a preheated pizza stone sprinkled with corn meal.

14. That is real pizza.
We got a place here, Luna's Pizza. Just like that. Yumm.

Sauce is just plain crushed tomatoes, mozzeralla is the real buffalo stuff. Crispy, crispy crust and fresh basil and olive oil. Yumm.

10. NY style pizza -- Chicago pizza is just a fancy focaccia
Edited on Thu Mar-13-08 09:16 PM by LostinVA
Hillary is actually from Illinois, though.

19. Clinton is not New York
Lord knows where she's really from but it's not here
and I doubt they have good pizza wherever it is that she's from.
Wasn't it Walmart or something???

ANYWAY
Chicago AND NY pizza are BOTH great.
Ya can't have only one kind all the time.
Variety is the spice of life y'know.

21. No contest.


There is something fundamentally untrustworthy about a person who eats pizza with a fork.

24. Best Pizza Evah - Giordano's

Just up the street from my neighborhood. My parents drove me 2 hours for my first time, near my 13th birthday. We ate one there, and bought a cold one to take home with us. When I relocated to Chicago at 28, the first night in my condo I sat on the floor picking the center out of a small pie, and had a bottle of wine.

Good Times :)

25. Agreed 1000%
If there's better pizza than this on the planet, I think it would give me a stroke.

35. Lou's is the best order sausage and its one patty
Across the whole thing and the butter crust option gives a awesome flaky texture.

27. No question...NY style
And I'm picky about the crust...it has to be think and JUST crisp enough to hold the toppings without sagging.

32. When I think of NY pizza, I think of the word "greasy" ;)
I don't enjoy Ray's Famous type pizza at all. Blech.

There used to be a place in Kansas City called "Da Bronx" that served a Bronx style (I assume) pizza that was incredible. The thin crust pies were piled with about 1" of toppings!

33. Pizza
New York pizza, for sure! But Hillary doesn't get to claim it, as she is really from Chicago too.
