NY Style Pizza vs Chicago Pizza (1 Viewer)

[Chaka]

The greatness of the New York pizza is not so much about spectacular flavor, although it is certainly very tasty, it's about the accessibility. You can throw a rock anywhere in Manhattan and confidently walk into whichever pizza place it lands closest to (and it will land close to a pizza place) and reasonably expect an excellent slice at a great price point. Sure, you'll find some crappy slices in NY too but for the most part you can be confident in what you are getting.

In California our equivalent is wine. I can walk into any grocery store or liquor store and reasonably expect to find an excellent bottle for under $20. You can find excellent bottles of wine in New York but you have to work harder to find it and you have to look even harder to find it at an incredible price. It's not an insult, it's a fact.

However the idea that you can't get a good slice of pizza anywhere but NY (because it's magically imbued with special magic taste ions by their magic water) is one of the most ridiculous, patently false, self perpetuating myths this country has ever seen. Utter nonsense.

Why are New Yorkers so obsessed with being recognized for having the best pizza? It's freaking pizza.

If you have to fold your slice in half, it's a sandwich.

Did Stewart fold his slice in half at the end of his clip?

yes he did. That's how the freaks in NY eat it.

It's so you can eat a slice on the go. NYC is all about TCB. It also tastes better folded. I don't know why, just like I don't know why some wines taste different depending upon what glass you put them in.

My wife, who lives to be iconoclastic, folds her slices the other way - tip of the slice up to the middle of the crust. Now THAT'S how a freak eats pizza. She may be the only human being alive to do this regularly.

Plus, you know, Stewart did not fold his slice in half.

You define fold differently than I do. He bent the crust so he could pick it up with one hand... he did not make origami out of it or anything.

Oh ok. Didn't know there was a different way. Stewart did it the right way.

So now we are arguing about the definition of 'pizza' and 'fold'?

Who gives a ####?

That's like asking who gives a #### about boobs. Pizza is one of life's great joys. We can have five threads about it a day as far as I'm concerned.

The best slice of pizza ever is usually the last one I ate. Because pizza.

Listening to New Yorkers brag about their magical pizza water is mind-boggling. Classic case of New Yorker superiority complex.

That's what "folding" a slice is. Folding it doesn't mean folding it in half and creasing it so it stays shut.

[Scoresman]

folding pizza is wrong. nyc is wrong about this one.

For the REAL NYers and Chicagoans, the real debate is Kennedy's Fried Chicken or Harold's? May need to give Chicago the nod here.

FWIW I know lots of New Yorkers who will happily admit that there's pizza elsewhere that's just as good, or even better. I know several that prefer the stuff in New Haven CT, for example.

The crusade is really more about ridding the world of the abomination that is deep dish pizza.

 

[Annyong]

Tobais, have you ever had deep dish pizza? I dont think you have.

 

[NCCommish]

Haven't you been to Charlotte? Price's Chicken Coop is the nations best fried chicken.

 

[TobiasFunke]

Tobais, have you ever had deep dish pizza? I dont think you have.

I have indeed, my adopted brother in law. Lou Malnati's twice, and a few others around town I don't remember.

(I don't really think its an abomination, other than relative to a good thin crust pie. It's just fun to argue about).

Don't get me wrong, neither Harold's be Kennedy's are the nations best, but they are local ghettostutions.

 

[Mister Martie]

I'm addicted to Crisp's fried chicken in Chicago.

[Limp Ditka]

chicken talk can be taken elsewhere. Doesn't belong in a conversation about, or even on, pizza.

 

[wadegarrett]

I was in Manhattan two Summers ago and had some pizza. It was ####### awesome.

I was in Chicago this past Summer and had Lou Malnati's for the first time. It was ####### awesome.

I like chicken on pizza.

NY pizza isn't even really NY style. It's incredibly similar to what you get in certain regions in Italy. It's just NYers being NYers staking claim to it. Chicago style on the other hand, is a truly unique creation. Both are delicious though.

Ya see Italian pizza can't be as good as New York pizza because of the water. Heck Italians don't even use water, they use something called acqua. I mean, what the hell is that? Amiright?

Every New Yorker

See, you go to Chicago, and you go to a specific place known for its pizza, and it's ####### awesome.

You go to New York and get "some pizza," and it's ####### awesome.

That's the difference.

Ugh. Had a client buy pizza on Long Island last week and they walked in with Dominoes. I haven't had it in probably 10 years.

Horrible crap. One slice and I was done, and I was starving.

It's just that you can't walk half a block in NYC without tripping over a decent pizza place. Seems wrong to order Dominoes.

Yes....people from Chicgao or NY argue over fried chicken???? Might as well be arguing over who makes the best turd pie.

I would love to blind taste test a bunch of New Yorkers with pizza made from waters of different origins. I can guarantee that the claims of New York pizza water superiority would fall apart upon clinical study. It's like New Yorkers got tired of getting high and mighty about the same old ####, so they decided to add the quality of pizza water to their braggadocio repertoire.

That's the rub. Otis claims NYC but lives in a place where ####### Dominos is somehow a good idea. Might as well throw some sauce on a cardboard box and consider it NY Style pizza.
