New York..FUGHETTABOUTIT

[IMSlacker]

You didn't give sailor enough time to research this properly.

[drusilla]

i love a crispy thin crust. gotta go with ny style. i do like chicago style, but it usually winds up giving me a belly ache.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

too close to decide

Deep Dish from Chi Town is sooo god and filling, only 1 to 2 Slices needed

Thin Crust well done ( no soft doughy shit) is the bee knees


will get back to you


Thin Crust is leading

Thin Crust 50.001%
Deep Dish 49.099 %

Thats why there are no gag answers. We need a real answer on this one people.

The style is a New York Style. There are only two styles everything else is a variation on said styles.

[underdog]

I love deep dish pizza, but you can't go wrong with thin crust. Its good no matter the time of day, the meal, or state of inebriation.

[IMSlacker]

I'll abstain. I love them both too much to choose. I wish you could get decent pizza down here.

[A.J.]

Does New Haven style mean burnt?

That's not burnt. It's thin and crispy.

And it should only be accompanied by this wonderful beverage:

what is a pizzahut pan type pizza a variation of?

[hedges]

I like both but I'm going with NY style pizza on this one.

[brettmojo]

Give me a NY slice, no contest.

[Doogie]

Consolation Poll

Connecticut Pizza > New Jersey Pizza

I'll one up that phrase and give it to Jersey Shore pizza. Giant slices, freshly made, tastes great.

Also have to admit to being biased here, as I only had NY style pizza. But I notice ANY pizza place outside of the metro NY area is terrible. Same goes for chinese food (although San Fran had good Chinese places). Nice thin crust, lots of cheese and sauce. Can not top it my friends.

[TooLowBrow]

deep dish isnt even really pizza, its more like a pizza themed cassarole

chicago does the same thing with its hotdogs... why try to bury all the goodness?

oh my god,new york style pizza is for rubes that dont know good pizza,i loved everything about new york but its pizza,it totally sucks,the only thing that chicago beats ny in is pizza,if you vote ny pizza you dont know shit about pizza,get out of the area,ya rubes,new york pizza,HA!

[jauble]

Not to be the worst thing you can call a man, but when done well both are spectacular. Although the thinner style is more common, you cant go wrong with a true pie.

[disneyspy]

OH AND CUPCAKES! ive heard chicago has better cupcakes and i know they have better pizza

that looks absolutely delicious!! i love a well done ny style pizza! too many places undercook pizza, if you ask me.

[sailor]

this is a silly poll. i love deep dish as much as the next guy, but it's not pizza.

[disneyspy]

im just lookin at this thread to see how many people will post something they know absolutely nuthin about,so far me and jauble are the only ones who know somethin

[EliSnow]

Didn't Ron call it a type of lasagna?

[sailor]

Didn't Ron call it a type of lasagna?

i know he wasn't a fan. especially at that one place everyone raved aboot. had like an inch-thick slab of cheese on top.

That's an interesting point about the hotdogs as well. But I love those damn Chicago dogs!

he's also called it a bundt cake, which cracked me up.

http://web.mit.edu/mollieb/Public/Pictures/Senior%20Year/June/pie.jpg

i was watching a thing on the food network about the history of pizza and it apparently IS a pie...like, thats how it got its name

I think Cheesecake is more of a pie too (than a cake). Anything round with a crust

[OGC]

I've had the thin crust and thick crust and loved them both, but I have never had anything like that second thing lleder pictured. I can't even imagine how anyone could consider it pizza.

[brettmojo]

http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j74/horim2004/027DeepDishPizza.jpg

probably a crappy version of chicago style.


i love a crispy crust, but not a fan of the burnt. i dunno about that new haven style. looks too blackened for my taste.

[GreatAmericanZero]

yeah, to me its all about the next day. A NY pizza is still decent the next day, even cold..but those chicago or pan pizzas with the thicker crust, the next day they taste like shit

[ToiletCrusher]

i prefer a regular ny style, but for some reason i'm not above the thai chicken pizza at california pizza kitchen. it's soooooooo good. not too big on any other weird pizzas though.

NY. If I want lasagna I'll order it.

[Matti_D]

Is the calemari in Pathogue!

[TheMojoPin]

Can the "it's not pizza" crap. It's got a pizza crust topped with cheese and tomatos/tomato sauce. It's a fucking pizza.

That said, I picked NYC-style. Deep dish is delicious, but it's too much to eat on a regular basis. Chicago also has two styles: deep dish AND thin crust, which is thinner and cripser than NYC-style.

[IMSlacker]

Star Pizza FTW: http://www.b4-u-eat.com/houston/restaurants/reviews/rsv0388.asp

Yeah. Star Pizza's ok. It can't touch real NY or Chicago style pizza though.

[Devo37]

In analogy form:

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c395/Devo37/chicago_pizza.jpg is to pizza

as

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c395/Devo37/giant_hamburger.jpg is to hamburgers.

bigger is not always better.

[RoseBlood]

I like when the crust is so thin you can barely fold it without it cracking.
But it has to be made like a regular brick oven pizza, not that matzo ball type crust some places try to pass as "thin crust".

I like Chicago-Style too but i rarely enjoy anything in-between.

a restaurant in my neighborhood that's been there for about 20 years recently updated their menu, which now includes 'homemade pizza'. i ordered it, and the 'crust' was a flour tortilla. pretty sad. though i ordered it with bacon and pepperoni as the toppings, so it was still enjoyable.

I thought "homemade" was assumed? :unsure:

[boosterp]

True, but in my dining of Houston, it is one of the closer places. There is a place in Clear Lake (name escapes me) that is the closest to NY style pizza that I have had. As for Chicago style pizza, I have not found a place here in the Houston area that can replicate it. Dallas was the closest place and do not take it home because it is soggy and just plain sucks the next morning with a hangover.

[Devo37]

I thought "homemade" was assumed? :unsure:

well, if you follow George Carlin's thinking (i think it's Carlin, maybe it was someone else), any restaurant that offers 'homemade' food is bullsh!t. it's not made in someone's home, it's made in a restaurant kitchen!

[MC Pee Pants]

NY style all around my friends...There's a place by my house that is honest to God the greatest pizza ever. I dunno if its because my friends and I all grew up with it, or maybe they put heroine in the crust. The first thing anyone does when them come back from college for holidays or whatever is get a slice of that shit.

[foodcourtdruide]

I don't want to take a cheap shot at Chicago, but is this seriously being debated? NY Pizza is far superior.

[MacVittie]

Even Chicago's favorite son can't resist NY style pizza.

Is it just me or is that a really undercooked slice?

it's half white and half brown

definitely under-cooked, and way too much cheese. looks like a sh!tty Famous Original Ray's slice.

ds, seriously, I love me some Chicago pizza, but my God, to eat it EVERY time you want some pizza? That's too much fucking heavy food. NYC wins by default just by being more edible on a frequent basis.

That said, anyone here who acts like one type is good and the other is not might actually be an alien commie Nazi in disguise. If it's some kind of pizza, it's good...period.

[disneyspy]

i only eat it once a year when im down that way,i honestly love it,i never want to eat ny pizza again,cardboard taste the same

[west milly Tom]

There is no better pizza than new York pizza, especially if you get it from the mobsters here in jersey.

Dimola's Pizza, North Plainfield, NJ has the HANDS down best NY style pizza ever! I grew up with it and I crave it all the time since I don't live there anymore. Homemade pizza is pretty slammin' too, my grammy made some good pies with homemade dough.

Mojo is from Chicago and voted NY

[cougarjake13]

im shocked at that

i fig the 3 votes were him, slacker and jauble

[disneyspy]

Mojo is from Chicago and voted NY

what!i gotta look at this poll.i wonder how many people that voted have eaten pizza in both cities

[Hosp]

New York Style, of course. And anytime I've heard someone outside of NY brag about their pizza, they always say "People say they truck in their water from NY and that's why it tastes so good". And anything from Midtown isn't NY pizza, you have to go to the outerboroughs for the good stuff.

Worst slice I've ever had was in Santa Monica on the boardwalk for 99 cents.

And I enjoy Chicago style, but it's like White Castle. Anything more then twice a year and I'd be shocked if my body could handle it.

[disneyspy]

i need to get jauble to vote to narrow this down some,and half the people that voted ny pizza are just gvac's board characters

[underdog]

what!i gotta look at this poll.i wonder how many people that voted have eaten pizza in both cities

I have.

Chicago Deep Dish is awesome. But the versatility and no-possible-way-to-fuck-it-up'edness of NY Pizza reigns supreme.

[IamFogHat]

I think they're both fucking delicious, but after a bit of debate I have to go with NY style. Like, if I lived in a world of one or the other and had to choose, I would want that for the rest of my days I think.

[PD]

this is a silly poll. i love deep dish as much as the next guy, but it's not pizza.

This man knows.
of course this means NY style that is actually from New york City (or at least with a 25 mile radius).

Exactly. If it's a one-time deal, I pick deep dish every time, but I voted based on which I can eat and enjoy more often. I can have deep dish like once every month or two, tops.
