A true connoisseur of pizza knows that the primary difference between Chicago pizza and that limp cracker with tomato sauce and cheese that New Yorkers call by the same name is the crust. A pizza crust should be light, buttery, and still have enough heft to hold sufficient sauce, cheese, and toppings to satisfy. What goes on top is of no consequence whatsoever.

I have seen pizzas called "chicago style" that bear no resemblance to true pizza, but what do they know about pizza in Maine?

I'm with Yank on this on - Chicago pizza is the very best! Woo hoo for Chicago! :nana:
 
scalywag... if you're going to keep changing your AV, and you INSIST on having a redsux photo, please use the one where pedro shoved zim.

btw... who's funnier falling down, zimmer being pushed by pedro martinez or lasorda getting run over in the 3rd base coach box?

Now that's one nicely tenderized trout...may be time to do my impression of Wolfgang Puck and use it on a California pizza. :D

Seriously though, great pizza is abou flavors and textures. While we all like to think that the burgers, milkshakes, sub sandwiches (by any other name), and pizza that we grew up with was the best, the truth is that very few of us are right. Even me, since I grew up with pizza that now turns my stomach.

I tried New York pizza as an outsider. I tried Chicago pizza as an outsider. As an objective outsider, I can state unequivocally that New York pizza sucks (that's the official food snob terminology, btw). The crust on the best of the lot had the texture of stale pita bread whle the sauce - well, let's just say that I've had better-tasting generic ketchup. Chicago pizza, on the other hand, is hearty, buttery, baked long enough to bring out the flavors of the ingredients, and is a terrific value. Pound for pound, a Chicago pizza is not only significantly better than its New York pretender-cousin, it costs much, much less.

That said, put some good company around the table, a tall pitcher of good beer in the middle, and I'll eat almost anything. Just don't bring up those f***ing Yankees. :D

Yankee ..NY everything is better :p

cheers!!!! let go to Ben Bensons and grab a night cap at the Waldorf :D
don't tempt me... if i wasn't 4 hours away i'd be there in a heartbeat.

i remember going to get my hair cut at astor place (or is it astor house) just because stern did a bum makover there on one of his ppv's. i remember how fascinated i was the first time i set foot in a tower records. the street vendors have fantastic food and where else can you walk a couple of blocks or less to get damn near anything you could possibly want? and let's not forget the naked cowboy (who does nothing for me personally, but let's face it, he's an attraction).

You, and EJ can have the one thing about New York that actually makes sense: a guy from Queens who forgot to put on his pants and plays bad guitar for change.
