Cyclonus X-1 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 New York City pizza annihilates this glop. Chicago should stick to hot dogs.NY pizza is to Chicago style pizza as Katy Perry is to Rush. Balderdash. Were we talking hockey teams or general cleanliness, Chicago would dominate New York without question. But pizza is NYC's turf. Nope. I know NYC wants to take credit for everything popular, and I realize the first pizzeria in the US was opened in New York, but they didn't invent it. Quite true. New York wasn't the creator when it came to pizza. But they were the CONQUEROR. :P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toscanobarga Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Chicago Deep Dish is an insult to the word "pizza" It's like calling Olive Garden "Italian food" Olive Garden and Deep Dish pizza places aren't restaurants, they're just feeding centers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it wasn't pizza, was it :) Everyone and their mother claims to have invented pizza. Last I looked into it, the idea we have of a modern pizza was started in the northeast corner of the US by Italian immigrants and popularized throughout Europe by American servicemen who wanted some real damn Italian food, not the shit the Italians were cooking and serving (think of the Sopranos episode when Tony and the gang go to Italy). But if you define pizza broadly enough, I'm pretty sure that the Chinese claim they made it first. Edited November 18, 2013 by LedRush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on my mood which one I want but I'll never turn down either unless I'm full. Happy Jack Stairway To Heavenly Pizza Pie!!! Yeah, but you're living in a place where they ruin pizza with mayonnaise and fried eggs. Of course anything from North America is going to look like manna from heaven. I must admit that it's partly a prejudice against the "New York attitude" (i.e., no matter how wonderful/awful something is in Some Other City, it's always ten times better/worse in NY. Nothing can possibly have any cultural relevance at all unless NYC has embraced it, AND they make everything better). Their pizza is fine though I won't eat it with pepperoni because then it really is too much orange grease. I just prefer Chicago style because it is an excuse to drown in cheese. I loves me some good cheese. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) Nah Mara. I had this idea about NYC and Chicago pizza years before I moved to this land of shitty pizza. I'll say this: I bet 90% of those here wouldn't turn down a slice of pizza no matter which city it came from and no matter how much they claimed one was crap. Oh Mara, I forgot: besides the fried egg and mayo on the pizza that you mentioned, there are the potato wedges and shredded tuna sharing space atop the zza. Demented! I only know of 2 or 3 places where I can get good pizza out here. And none of them come close to resembling Chicago pizza Edited November 19, 2013 by JohnnyBlaze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarkus406 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 HERETIC!!!! Jon Stewart's right. I gave Chicago pizza a shot, but it was like eating a brick of cheese and washing it down with a can of tomato sauce. I'll take thin-crust New York/New Haven style any day, man... I'm assuming you've had Pepe's Pizza before? And still prefer the pizza bread-bowl? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
