Chicago style has to be done right or it can be bad. NY style is impossible to #### up and overall better at its best.

Marion's Pizza in Ohio. Been mentioned by several of us that live or used to live in the southern Ohio area. Cassano's Pizza King is very similar, but quite as good these days. Apparently they were voted #2 in the nation independent pizza store owner by Pizza Today magazine. I don't need no stickin' award to know how much I miss this stuff.
St. Louis style - crispy/chewy thin crust, unique grind on the sausage makes it unique too.
Going home to Ohio for Christmas and my mom will have several of these bad boys waiting on me and the family. Killin' me just looking at it.

And Provel. No thanks.

Whoa. Marion's doesn't do Provel. Neither does Cassano's or anyone else in Ohio/Indiana as far as I know.

Not St. Louis style then.

Pretty sure Cassano's is 100% provolone. Marion's is typical mozzarella I think.

Not sure, but definitely no Provel. BTW ...I have had Imo's and I loved the Provel. Not something I would want everytime, but it was great. Rich, with a bite. Like a more rich cream cheese.

if we're pimping pizza places there's a bakery in chicago called d'amato's on teh north side of grand at may -- around 1100 w, I think, a couple blocks east of ogden.
they make these big pans of pizza and cut them in rectangles -- maybe 5 kinds for 2-3 bux a slice.
nothing legendary, or best pizza in the world, or whatever, but it's pretty tasty and different than your average pizza.
I'd def check it out if you're in the area and want a snack.
they also have a pretty good meatball sandwich.

d'amatos is good. can get a great Italian sub at Bari's nextdoor too.

I don't know if you've been over there recently, but apparently d'amato's had some kind of falling out with bari's, so they started their own sub biz.somebody told me bari's used to use their bread, but now they apparently use some generic sub bread.

I like the thin crust as a snack to go with drinking. The heavier pizza works better for me as a regular meal.

I had a Bari sub last weekend and didn't notice a difference.

NY style isn't thin crust

Well, it is thinner than Chicago style, and I guess it is thin overall, but it is not to be confused with thin crust Dominos pizza or anything.
no food should ever be confused with Dominos pizza

I go here for baked goods/pastries but have never been for pizza. I'll check it out!

huh? I guess you've never had thin crust pizza. It's nothing like NY style. The dough is wafer thin and crispy and there's no crust.

This is spot-on for me.ETA - don't ####### flip out. When I say "thin crust", I mean the NY style pizza that I've had in the past. I mean thin in comparison to the Chicago pizza. I don't get either of them often, it's all Buffalo pizza all the time here.

I'm pretty sure thin is ny style, and you're maybe talking about cracker crust.I have no idea wtf that dominoes pizza is that was referenced.

Where do you live? In CA and I've never heard the term "cracker crust". Everybody calls it thin crust. NY style is called NY style.

There are some pizza places that make a "cracker crust" that is different than a traditional flour based thin crust pizza.

It's referred to as the "Columbus Cracker" here. Very crispy crust. Sweet sauce, and a Provolone, Mozzarella, Cheddar cheese mix. Horrible. The topping are usually good as they are cut thicker.

BTW, I see the original title is misleading regarding "thin crust"
New York style, as noted, is NOT paper thin. Pepe's in CT is paper thin. Some of the "gourmet" and more traditional Euro style pies can be very thin, but NY Pizza is not "paper thin" - it should hold up when you eat it properly, namely fold the slice in half and consume.
To that end, Chicago Style isnt "thick crust" really either. The crust itself is not that thick, its just loaded and baked like a thick pie / casserole almost. And then you have Chicago stuffed pizza, a variant (and NY has a stuffed pizza as well, not that dissimilar from Chicago stuffed, each having to layers of crust with the middle packed with stuff)

this is the worst part about NY pizza. people folding it up and eating it like it's a pizza sandwich.

To each their own, but this makes for the ability to grab a slice on the run, and if it's the right slice, then the fold should work both in terms of the palate of tastes and textures all in with portable on the fly convenience.If you can't adequately fold the slice, then stick to dominoes.
Exactly, "thin crust" is cracker-like, NY style (aka "Proper style") dos not have a thin crust...it is above sea-level of the pizza...in fact, Chicago style is on the same mean as the pizza itself, so you could make the argument that Chicago style is actually thin crust
pizza isn't meant to be eaten "on the run"you can eat a good slice of pizza without a fork AND without folding it in half. even when it can be folded, there's absolutely no reason to do so unless you just love to shove the food into your maw as fast as possible.

A slice of pizza is certainly an appropriate on the run food.

Good times!
Pizza is pretty much perfect for eating "on the run" though
sure, it can be but that doesn't mean that's the ideal way to eat it.if the pizza is low quality, then just roll it up into a ball and shove it into your mouth. call it pizza if you like but pizza doesn't have crust on both sides, IMO. it's meant to be eaten open face.you can easily eat a pizza "on the run" without folding it like some freak. the only reason to fold it is if you are in a hurry and have no desire to prolong the enjoyable experience of eating a delicious slice of pizza.

I like to start with the crust and work toward the pointy edge.

if you want a calzone, order one and stop trying to turn your slice of pizza into one on the street.
