NY Style Pizza vs Chicago Pizza (1 Viewer)

[Chaos Commish]

How do you pizza snobs feel about sourdough crust? I found it to be delicious.

I prefer it, then I prefer sourdough bread in general.

Not that it matters much, but original pizzas from late 18th century Naples used sourdough because modern yeasts were unavailable. Whether it's better is personal taste, but sourdough pizza is authentic not something new.

A year ago, the hottest slob food in Manhattan was the cronut. Perhaps you heard about it: Created (and copyrighted) by SoHo's Dominique Ansel Bakery, the cronut, an unholy and addictive union of croissant and doughnut, proved so popular to trendy New Yorkers that waits for the innovative pastry stretched past three hours. A small black market on Craigslist even sprang up to deliver fresh cronuts at inflated scalper prices. A year later, however, fickle New York has moved on, and the cronut, while still somewhat popular (though replicated now at bakeries nationwide), is facing an unlikely slice of competition: Chicago deep dish.

Yes, the pizza that many New Yorkers love to claim is not pizza has become one of the most sought-after dishes in lower Manhattan. Actually, only two blocks from Dominique is the heartbeat of the frenzy: a small, tin-roofed, tavernlike storefront named Emmett's, opened in late November by Lake Forest native Emmett Burke, who, at 31, decided to leave behind his stressful life of high finance and introduce New York to the pride of Chicago. Smart wager: Emmett's is so hot right now that, on a Sunday night I put my name in for a table at 5:30 p.m., sat down about 8:30 p.m. and received my handsome (if undistinguished) pizza at 9:30 p.m.

This cannot be true. The Trib is just fueling the fire.

By the way, New Haven, CT, pizza is the best. And it's not even close.

I saw a Pizza Cuz show (kinda dumb show - but its pizza) and pretty sure that was where I saw the place owned a pro hockey player and his buddies. They had the thin, crispy - YET with a chew, crust. To top it off they also offered a pizza with hot peppers and pepper oil that looked great.

Chicago pizza isn't really pizza as stated repeatedly and correctly in this thread.

That's New Haven pizza. Pepe's. Sally's. Modern. Can't go wrong with any of those three. I used to live across the street (not facing, but a block to the South) from two of them. Had to buy new pants after the year was over.

The smell, though. Believe it or not, it actually wears on you, and not in a pleasant way.

[the moops]

I ####ing love it all.

Marrion's (Dayton Style?) is my all time favorite.

I've probably only had one pizza in my life that I didn't like. We were on spring break in Daytona Beach in '91 and found a photocopied menu for some place that delivered at 4 AM. There were maybe a dozen pieces of shredded cheese on it. Probably some dude making chef boyardee at his house.

There is a pizza place in the aiport that actually smells bad. I mean, how do you make pizza smell unappetizing?

I think it might be a Sbarro.

Oh, NY style pizza

not even close to NY style

There's about 9 million people who live in NYC and millions more here every day. Yeah, that leads to enough people who will wait in line for a bunch of hours for a cronut. Doesn't mean it's a good food product.

Fatties like deep dish... you're never going to be able to change that.

Nothing gets a pre-diabetic's insulin pumping more than the vision of a 8000 calorie pool of molten cheese and grease.

 

[Annyong]

I'm pretty sure I'll like any combination of dough, sauce, cheese. So it's all good to me.

 

[Todem]

NY style all day every day.

We have a phenomonal NY pizza joint around the corner from my office. Spadinis Pizza at Mizner Place (Boca Raton Florida). Guy flys in his dough from NY each week. He makes the very best Pizza around here. Fresh ingredients always. The crust is to die for. His Magaritta pizza is the best slice I have ever had. Plump ripe, sweet tomatos, sweet sauce, perfect amount of garlic and oil.....just perfect.

We also have a place down in North Miami called Steves Pizza......NY style of course and it is crack. Amazing sauce and crust. Thank god South Florida is like the 6th borough and we have plenty of decent to excellent NY style pizza joints.

I refuse......refuse to eat fast food pizza (Dominos, Papa Johns etc) pure garbage.

Nothing like a perfect slice of NY pizza. ozzing with sauce and cheese and a crispy ending on the crust......which is always the best part IMO.

Do I like Chicago deep dish? Absolutely. When it's done right...it is damn good too. But I rarely ever eat it. Too heavy. But once in a blue moon.....I will get a deep dish pizza.

The only place that I found unfortunately that can do a decent job....and it is hit or miss because it is a chain.....is Uno's and the closet one is in Orlando.....so it's been several years since I had a deep dish. We used to have a local Chicago place called my pie which was pretty awesome. I need to look up a new local spot.

Also New Haven Pizza is incredible and we have a great New Havan joint in Boca as well. Off of Glades road just west of 95.

Damn......getting hungry typing this.

 

[El Floppo]

Poor Aaron... folding pizza, exhibit A. Look- would you be holding this?

 

[msommer]

Normally do NY style at home, but recently served Chicago style (one stuffed, one deep dish) to some of my oldest daughters friends. They loved it. They generally plow through six or seven NY style pizzas on movie night but had to call it quits after those two bad boys. And not a fatty among them...

 

[RBM]

I'd kill for a clam pie from Pepes right now.

In the Dayton area and going to Marion's Pizza tomorrow - yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Thin crust, crisp, teeny bubbles on the bottom, yet still with a little bit and a little chew. Sauce to the edge, no rolled crust edge.

Great sauce and ground sausage. Just cannot get this type of pizza where I live and miss it a lot. Gonna eat until I don't feel well and get a couple large to-go as well to eat when we head onto to Akron.

What are you doing in Dayton?

 

[rockaction]

i have never had the clam pie, amazingly. And I lived there for two years. Something about seafood and pizza...I think I really missed out.

Plug: LIttle City Pizza in Simsbury, CT, is probably some of the best pizza you can have. Get the cajun style pizza. Shrimp, andouille sausage, and a nice, spicy sauce to go with it. Good stuff.

What are you doing in Dayton?

Family and I are stopping by my mom's for a day in Fairborn and then heading up to Stow/Tallmadge area to stay with in-laws for a few days (spring break for the kids). I am eating Giovanni's Pizza right now. (Pretty close to Marion's - long time joint in Fairborn)

 

[Sinrman]

NY Style, and not even close

 

[jamny]

Looks like I'll have to take a ride to New Haven once the weather warms up. We went last year to eat burgers at Louie's Lunch. Cool little town.

 

[otello]

New haven pizza is outstanding, though my experience is limited to pepe's. This Dayton talk has me thinking road trip.

I really don't think the whole turning Otis into Christo thing is a viable complaint against Chicago pizza.
