Why are people posting tomato sauce cakes in a pizza thread?

BasicMath · Jul 30, 2015

Do I have to take a side on this issue? Because I think both would be great. The only thing I've ever had is chain pizza and I don't think that even qualifies as pizza in the same way that Taco Bell isn't Mexican food.

TomShoe · Jul 30, 2015

FOH with that thin-crust shit. I'm not a bird.

HNNNNNNNNGH

Bravo, Chicago. Bravo...

Nothing on this earth like the perfect slice of Chicago style pizza.

That's called St. Louis-style pizza, brah.

Brah, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago-style_pizza

We gave St Louis that since we already had deep dish and we felt sorry for them.

Yep.

And it doesn't necessarily need to be in "squares."

Like Bacci:

And Damenzo's:

And Coalfire is probably one of the best in the city too, and that's more Neapolitan.

inm8num2 · Jul 30, 2015

Deep dish is so damn good.

As a San Francisco resident, San Francisco's inclusion on this list invalidates the entire list. Fuck this city's garbage pizza.

TheGreatDirector · Jul 30, 2015

I see nothing wrong with this list.

EightBitNate · Jul 30, 2015

So much anger in this thread.

Literally have never seen someone use a fork to eat deep dish, and I've lived here all my life.

I usually find that chicago-style pizzas have way too much crust. But this ... This looks fucking delicious.

Yup, I meant to rather say they cut the pizza with horizontal and vertical parallel lines instead of just halving it several times.

bounchfx · Jul 30, 2015

chicago style is fucking incredible when done right but I'm not even really sure it counts as pizza it's so different. NY is pretty top tier otherwise. I fucking love pizza. I want pizza now, ugh.

I'm from NYC. I think New Haven should've been first.

It really is incredible. Pepe's is far and away the best pizza I've ever had and I've had a lot of pizza.

guek · Jul 30, 2015

Las Vegas? What the fuck. I lived there for 4 years, the pizza there is OK at best with maybe one or two exceptions

Sho_Nuff82 · Jul 30, 2015

Didn't their list last year have San Diego first? FOH

We even have a Supreme Court justice on record saying that Chicago nonsense isn't even pizza. God help them if it ever goes to court.

Seriously. You can just hear the accented crying.

IT'S NOT JUST DEEP DISH PEOPLE!

Besides, silver isn't bad at all. Keep your chin up New York.

Vire · Jul 30, 2015

It's not even fucking pizza.

Neodiablo22 · Jul 30, 2015

I don't understand why Pepe's burnt pizza is popular. Colony Grill pizza is superior.

GK86 · Jul 30, 2015

Chicago's "pizza" is a crime against humanity.

Jag · Jul 30, 2015

Pepe's clam pizza any day over that soupy looking crap from Chicago.

TangoAlphaLima said:

I've never even been to Chicago and even I know that deep-dish being "Chicago style" is a myth.

From everyone I've talked to, including ChicagoGAF, true Chicago style pizza is thin crust cut into squares. The deep-dish variety is much more rare, and is more of a tourist attraction than anything else.

Stat Flow · Jul 30, 2015

I had Pequod's when I took a trip to Chicago (which I took mainly to try out new foods).

It was heavenly.

The best pizza I've had.

Subpar Spatula · Jul 30, 2015

I've had both and both were pretty average. Chain restaurant pizza, to me, has always had the best tasting. Standing small business pizza usually is garbage tier.

sflufan · Jul 30, 2015

Orlando?
Washington DC?
Miami Beach?

What the hell?!?

Pequod's rocks. It's the perfect middle betweenChicago deep dish and traditional pan pizza

I lived in Orlando at one point in my life unfortunately and I have no idea what the fuck they are talking about. This list is garbage tier.

Sums up the debate pretty well

I will say that Lou manalti's is the best deep dish in Chicago, pretty damn delicious but it's not something you'd want more then once every several months

And for someone who's lived in Washington, D.C., someone please explain to me what's special about DC pizza and how it made that list

Nickle · Jul 30, 2015

You can call deep dish pizza whatever you want, but that doesn't mean it's not delicious.

fastmower · Jul 30, 2015

Orlando?

Daingurse · Jul 30, 2015

My favorite Chicago pizza isn't even deep-dish. Beggars and Giordano's do pizza better than any other place I've tried.

Lou Malnati's. Anyone who tells you different is a dirty piece of shit liar.

crimsonheadGCN · Jul 30, 2015

I want a deep dish pizza now.

Chicago may be number 1, but do they have a Sbarro's? That's like my favorite NYC pizza place.

Pequod's

Don't go to Gino's East. Overrated and the wait is not worth it. I see lines out the door for that place... I shake my head in confusion

There's a Sbarro's in Ogilvie Transportation Center. At least, there was.
