Good to see DC jumbo slice earning a place.

Not the best tasting, but definitely the most economical for your run of the mill student drunk

 

[Duress]

Don't tell me what's the best pizza, Trip Adviser.

 

[BattleMonkey]

ITT people trashing pizza from restaurants they never ate at

 

[Zombine]

That's not even pizza. You eat it with a fuckin knife and fork. Why not throw in a scoop of vanilla ice cream and sing me happy birthday when you serve that garbage to me.

 

[Veritigo_X]

No. Fuck Chicago pizza. That shit is gross.

And fuck TripAdvisor. I'm never going to take their advice.

 

[Eidan]

LOL Trip Advisor, guess they like casserole over Pizza.

Pretty much. San Diego has the best pizza.

 

[Jeevesmeister]

New York pizza is shit, as a native New Yorker, but Chicago deep dish is an even bigger fucking joke. TripAdvisor talking out of their ass.

 

[block tower]

I never get tired of the pizza in this city so I agree.

 

[BattleMonkey]

No. Fuck Chicago pizza. That shit is gross.

And fuck TripAdvisor. I'm never going to take their advice.

The places on the list sell regular pizza

 

[Aureon]

As someone who has spent a lot of time in Italy - lol Italian pizza compared to NY Pizza. There's no comparison whatsoever. Even a lot of them know it.

Please.

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

The best pizza is the pizza you like.

 

[B.O.O.M]

NYC pizza is legit. Lombardi's = Fantastic

 

[Arkeband]

Chicago pizza is Garfield tier

NY pizza is Ninja Turtles tier

 

[fluffydelusions]

American Pizza

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

As an Italian, I use to laugh at what was considered good pizza in the states, then I moved to Korea and realised even American pizza is 100 times better than what you get here.

 

[Human Resources]

bwhahaha at you clowns that just got Advised

 

[PG2G]

The list is solid, though, if only because Los Angeles isn't on it. It is impossible to find good pizza in this city, mainly because 95% of the pizza places are trying to emulate NYC pizza and failing.

While I wouldn't say LA belongs on the list, there is plenty of great pizza here.

Its just they are typically nicer restaurants like Pizzeria Mozza and Milo & Olive, not your typical small hole in the wall by the slice kind of spots

 

[MisterRoboto]

Jersey has some good pizza too.

 

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

Boo hoo, my city lost.
I'll go wipe my tears with a Sicilian pie from Rosas.

 

[tbm24]

So what it's declared by tourist?

 

[Ethelwulf]

Italian pizza is amazing, specially that from Napoli imo. Same goes for New York and Chicago pizza. Why there's always a need to name the best everything?

 

[Summer Haze]

Deep pan > thin and crispy all day every day, but Chicago's pizza is 2deep4me. Doesn't even resemble pizza anymore. More like a quiche with a bread base, lol.

 

[jacobeid]

Nobody cares about pizza when New York has the bagels.

PS. not from either. Both have great pizza. Chicago definitively has better hot dogs though.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I prefer NY style tbh.

 

[eso76]

Someone on NeoGaf was arguing Italian pizza wasn't as good as US Pizza because in Italy they don't use hide your pizza under overwhelming amounts of more or less pertinent toppings

 

[maquiladora]

Sorry but Chicago deep pan "pizza" is more akin to some kind of savory cake abomination than a real pizza.

 

[Doc Holliday]

I'm New Yorker and I love both!

But good luck folding a deep dish pizza on your way to catching the subway lol

 

[Limited Edition]

And fuck TripAdvisor. I'm never going to take their advice.

You'll miss out on a lot of great places to eat doing that.

 

[JimtotheHum]

When people talk about Chicago pizza, they naturally assume the discussion is about deep dish. I will put our thin crust pizza up against any other city, it's fantastic and very different than New York style.

 

[ElTorro]

John Stewart am cry.

 

[Arkeband]

Chicago, y'all need Cheezus to come and absolve you of all your pizza sins.

Send them Cheesos, too.

 

[Mengy]

It's not even pizza

Death disagrees.

 

[Skiptastic]

I'm from the Chicagoland area, originally. I really dislike deep dish pizza.

Thankfully, there is a place in Chicago called Pizanos which was probably the best pizza I've ever had. Flat style pizza, none of that deep dish nonsense.

Chicago best city for Cheese and Casserole too? I wonder how fat Chicago is...

 

[neorej]

Get out of here with the savory cake. That's as close to pizza as that abomination with pineapple on it.

Italian or bust

 

[Bildocube]

Yeah, I agree with this. I've been to NYC and found the pizza there to be great but not as good as Chicago deep dish. Sorry New Yorkers.

 

[DrBo42]

Lol. Fucking nonsense.

 

[Human Resources]

now i'm just waiting for some Detroit dude to step in here with some square pie nonsense so everyone drops what they're doing to gang up on him

 

[WedgeX]

Chicago pizza is delicious. NY pizza is pretty standard and also delicious.

DC sure as fuck does not deserve to be on there. We The Pizza is mediocre and only good by comparison to the crap pizza offered elsewhere in the city, although Matchbox is legit. Especially the fire & smoke.

 

[Mental Atrophy]

This is pizza? Doesn't look like it, but it does look like something I want in my mouth.

 

[Omega]

HA

only thing Chicago has better than New York is a basketball team

 

[SilentRob]

I just googled "Chicago Pizza".

What. That's not pizza. That's a cake. Do you want to eat a Cheese-Tomato-Cake? Go ahead! I'm sure it's great. But don't pretend it's pizza. It is not pizza.

God has given us pizza. How dare you creating this abomination, this monument of man playing god and putting it in the same basket as the thin-sliced tomato-heaven some kind of Italian Jesus passed down to us thousands of years ago?

How dare you.

 

[Summer Haze]

John Stewart am cry.

Is that a piece of pizza-coloured paper he pulls out at the end there?

 

[Mr. Giggles]

Would totally eat that.

 

[marrec]

Would totally eat that.

I'd have a slice and then fast for the next 4 days to make up for it but I would never, ever call that Pizza.

 

[cwmartin]

That doesn't say New Haven

My man, new haven pizza rep

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

It's not even pizza

this

 

[Mr. Giggles]

No argument here.

I would still do some American pie levels nasty shit to that thing though.....

Just saying.

 

[friday]

Thankfully you don't have to live in places like NYC and Chicago to get great pizza now. To hell with this competition.

 

[Veritigo_X]

You'll miss out on a lot of great places to eat doing that.

I think I'll be alright. It's not exactly hard to hear about good restaurants where I live.
