I live in Chicago, but i will have to vote for New York Style pizza here. Thin crust is the bomb. Chicago deep dish is way to cheesy. What do you guys prefer?

Hi Noob... haven't seen you for a while.

That's like asking french toast at the Meurice in Paris or french toastettes from mcdonald's. new york pizza is an incandescent deliciousness and chicago pizza is a doughy gooey mess.

  Now I know you love Chicago and all, it's a great place....but New York is the place for pizza!
  
  Beware! I will send my minions to your house, and make you eat nothing but Dominoes pizza for a week straight!

We don't have those chain pizza joints where I live. We make our own and it's great! We have total control over what goes into them and how they are prepared so, we make our pizzas to the exact specs that we like the best. When we do go to a city we find the pizza to be disappointing.

  Couldn't agree more, we do home-made pizza all the time, takes all of 30 minutes to make and cook and puts most pizza restaurants to shame.

I don't like deep dish (Chicago). It's nasty. I like plain cheese pizza with thin or "Regular" crust.

I grew up in New York so I will have to say New York pizza. However, every year there is a "taste contest" for pizza. Last year they declared the best tasting pizza winner to be in downtown Phoenix. I haven't tried it but I suppose it could be true.

i like EITHER the really thin, crispy "cracker" crust
OR
the pizza pie from a really good chicago restaurant.

and pretty much nothing in between.

< cue music> I don't know why I got to extremes
Too high or too low there ain't no in-betweens
And if I stand or I fall
It's all or nothing at all < / music>

Having recently been fired as Domino's delivery dog for woofin down their 14-inch all meat pizza, Austin Girl's Fat Bastard the Beagle is now an exclusive fan of Pizza Hut's stuffed crust pizza. It's the one with the melted gooey cheese oozing from the crust.

  Texas pizza? Yuk! I lived in North TX for 10 years. My boss would question my expense reports for my trips to NYC. Problem was I was under my per diem: pizza for dinner the first night, Chinese the second. HA!

  I love NY too - and like Mike, I always fold my pizza. But some of the best I've ever had was a chicago style from heaven.
  
  Perhaps you should hitch me up in my trailer or ride me to NY so that I may discover the truth again?

  The real question is, where was that Chicago style made? Eh?
  
  Can you make the trip all the way to NY, I know you've got stamina and all but still....I'm a demanding rider

Pizza was invented by Italians and NYC makes the best pizza. I forgot the name of the first Italian pizza place in NYC that opened up and started selling pizza here. I just saw it on TV too.

The New York pizza taste the best. And we love to fold it here also.

The cannoli is another popular Italian pastry that you should try if you are in NYC. I love them. I had them since I was a kid.

Are you Italian also? I like stuffed shells and lasagna. I get the same things all the time I eat out at Italian resturants. Ravioli is also good. I forgot a lot of the dishes. Chicken Parmigiana is nice also.

I don't like that Chicago is associated with that really thick stuff. I never ate it during the many years that I lived there and hadn't even heard of it until I moved. The real question is good quality pizza from an, authentic Italian restaurant or crappy chain store pizza. I vote for the real stuff. That you can't get in Tennessee where I live now.

  there's a pizza join in the gold coast, chitown pizza. makes new york(thin) pizza. it's probably the best pizza i've tasted. Just don't like the fact that chicago is associated with deep dish pizza.

  Is it because you don't like deep dish pizza, or you just don't like Chicago's way of making deep dish pizza?

Chain store pizza is not real pizza. It is not made the same way. You are just as better off with frozen pizza if you like chain store pizza.
