Naaa...it's only 2 1/2 hours drive to Chicago. If I want good NY style pizza I can just go to the supermarket frozen-food section.

You haven't had good NY style pizza, I see .

Ah, the savages still clinging to their inferior products .

Though it is telling that just about every frozen pizza out there is based on New York style, showing the popularity of that sort of pizza, and the lack of popularity for Chicago style.

My question is how come any deep dish / stuffed whatever pizza tastes like such crap? I figure that is the reason that much of country serves up regular New York style pizza. I mean, is there anyone that makes that slop taste halfway decent?

Isn't that an oxymoron?

It must be that, being from New Jersey, you smell like cheese. And it has soured your sense of taste. :P

Actually it says that deep-dish and stuffed pizzas don't cook well from frozen. It would take too long for most people and it usually doesn't come out right.

It also says that your tastes meet the lowest common denominator. We elite in Chicago know better. It matters not what you rabble think.

Ah so you are an elitist, figures you damned commie .

Also shows that only Chicagoans like Chicago crap pizza.

After all, we made Pizza in America first and we know what the best tasting ones taste like. I'm sorry that Chicago is tired of being the 'second city', but you don't have to pretend your pizza is better than the real thing. You know, what the masses eat .

I was actually watching a special on the Food Network about pizza. New York Pizza was first (as it should be). Chicago pizza was second, and California pizza was third. Obviously the Food Network knew what it was doing when it put the real pizza first and the bad tasting offshoots 2nd and 3rd .

The Food Network isn't, by chance, out of New York is it?

Or was their sampling straight from the streets of Manhatt..., eh, Brook..., eh QUEENS!?

This will be going on for a while. It doesn't matter if it's the oldest type or not, it's what the idividual likes, so shut your hole, Irman.

Deep dish isn't Chicago style, Chicago Dish at Pizza Hut is, just like Che said. It's a heck of a lot better than Papa John's.

Achovies are usually too salty for my taste, but there's nothing wrong with pineapple & canadian bacon...

So let me get this (threadjack) straight --
We're arguing with someone from Atlanta about this?

Imran -- Sbarro, the biggest (IIRC) NY-style chain, is a classic example of what we call "good-bad" pizza. Meaning, "pretty good for bad pizza." If you can't get good pizza, it'll do.

My condolences to ixnay and Odin, who live in truly pizza-deprived environments.

And let's remember that all this started because someone asked for the identity of the awesome thin-crust we had at the Chicago Poly meet.

All arguments involving national chains are moot.
All arguments involving timelines and history are moot.
All arguments involving national popularity are moot.

Food is about taste. I know we've got some amazing pizza here in Chicago, and that we had one of many excellent examples of Chicago pizza at Ming's last Friday.

I've had New York pizza (in New York) on numerous occasions. It's different, and not my preference. But I also know that both Chicagoans and New Yorkers will find great comfort in the tastes they grew up with.

This is not an argument that can be settled via vehement online arguments. Nor by invoking statistics (Ming) or cooking shows (Imran). This is like arguing about the cuising in paris vs. provincial French cooking, or northern Italian vs. southern.

The beauty of food is in its variety. Personally, I plan to learn about and love as much of it as I can in this life.

[And let me just say publicly-- in an open thread -- that the Chicago Poly Meet was a blast. Thanks to Ming for hosting, to Rah for the pizza, and to our guests (chegitz guevara, Theben, bunnygrrl, H Tower, and loinburger) for coming out.]

Obviously Ming has no confidence in Chicago style pizzas. NY pizzas then must clearly be the superior ones.

Gotta love Chicago-style pizza. There's even a great stuffed pizza chain in Austin (Mangia's).

Of course, I've lived there for a few years (while have never lived in NYC).
