Pizza: Thick or Thin? (1 Viewer)

[Dan Lambskin]

so my kids got a Kids vs Parents trivia game and one of the questions was

What Type of Pizza Crust Do Most Americans Prefer: Thick or Thin?

I disagreed with the answer...would like to see pole results to confirm

 

[Cjw_55106]

I went thick, like shady's women, but I think most people would answer thin.

No "normal" option?

Or is thick a standard hand tossed pie, not deep dish, in this scenario?

 

[sbonomo]

Chicago style for me! L

 

[elbowrm]

By thick do you mean the lasagna they call pizza in Chicago?

 

[fantasycurse42]

Can you clearly define thin and thick?

Like there is super thin, which typically gets crunchier, then there is thin (which most define as NY Style, and a lot of people consider that regular pizza), and what I consider thick, like Chicago style or deep dish.

 

[fantasycurse42]

Okay, so I'm not alone with my question.

 

[kutta]

I truly like them both. They are almost like different foods to me.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Thick, greasy, and baked.

Just like my women.

 

[Bucky86]

Thin,crunchy, and lightly sauced. Like my women?

 

[sports_fan]

Thin with lots of meat

 

[kutta]

Like your women?

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Round, Italian, and Hot-n-Ready for only $5.

...like my women.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Pole question is worded exactly as it was on the card.

 

[Road Warriors]

A great NY style, thin with crisp bottom and soft top, firm enough to stand up to toppings without flopping or requiring the fold technique, is the right answer here.

Tough to find down here in TX.

The best pizza I've ever had was thin crust, but so was as the worst.

Thick crust tends to be more consistent.

Voted thin.

Regular>Sicilian>>>>>>>deep dish

 

[bud29]

Thick crust usually comes along with quite a bit of grease, so voted thin. I'm a sucker for Papa Murphy's Chicago-style stuffed pizza though.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Normal?

Unlike your women?

 

[fdas2]

Jaysus loves pizza!!!!!!

 

[Chadstroma]

Thick but if you want to really enjoy pizza then it is deep dish.

 

[Arizona Ron]

Normal?

Unlike your women?

They seems normal to me

 

[Mors Venit]

I would normal different by region.

Like NY thin crust vs Chicago deep dish

 

[Brony]

Very hot and awfully wet.

I would assume thick to mean Sicilian or Grandma-style.

Which is why a slice of plain and a slice of Sicilian is always the best combo.

 

[Cjw_55106]

Very hot and awfully wet.

Wat?

 

[the moops]

Deep dish is more of a casserole than a pizza. No thanks.

 

[SacramentoBob]

Go with the Korean girl standard: bigger than your thumb = thick

 

[17seconds]

Dislike thin crust pizza. Won't say hate as I can't hate any pizza.

By thin I mean crisp thin. NY style is tremendous of course.

You mean regular pizza or a bowl of lasagna?

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Old, crusty, and heavily sauced. Like Tanner.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I don't understand why people seem to think lasagna is a putdown to Chicago style pizza. Lasagna is awesome.

This. Chicago style isn't pizza it's pizza casserole. The best pizza is the brick oven coal fired thin crust (like Italy).

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Pizza should have a thin crust that is a little crisp but still has a nice chew feel. Pizza is mostly about the crust.

I eat thick crust pizza but never order it and don't love it. I like just about all pizza even that casserole stuff in Chicago but would order a Marion's pizza (Dayton, OH) every time over any I have ever had.

 

[SacramentoBob]

Naked and unconscious, just like my women.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Interesting. Thin was the correct answer in the game, but I threw the card out for being wrong (or at least poorly worded)

To me thin crust is usually specified and means super thin like a saltine cracker. I took thick to mean normal hand tossed

Deep Dish/Sicilian/Chicago style is usually called out as such and not referred to as "thick crust"

Not surprising from a guy who can't tell the difference between a clock and a calendar.

Quiet and in the other room, like my women

How many Tuesdays should I bake the pizza?

Depends how thick the crust is.

 

[Mors Venit]

Need a ruling here...

Lunchables pizza...

Do these fit the criteria of pizza?

 

[the moops]

I don't understand why people seem to think lasagna is a putdown to Chicago style pizza. Lasagna is awesome.

Chocolate cake is also awesome. It is also not a pizza.

Thin = California style, very thin and crisp. Thick = deep dish/Chicago style. My preference is New York style, which I wouldn't ordinarily call thin or thick but if I absolutely had to call it one, I'd say thin. Hence my vote for thin. But I think our preferences are the same.
