Nice title change. That's ok. You're angy, we get that. Acceptance of the truth will come later.
I love that New Yorker's keep trying to qualify chicago style pizza as "not pizza" for being too thick. Yeah, and New York pizza's too thin and floppy. Does that make it not pizza or is it the only way New Yorker's can claim their superiority is by pretending other shit doesn't exist?

The best part was that "mediocre" got removed for a moment then added back in.
Stay salty mods.

You ever have pizza in Italy (i.e., the best pizza in the world)? I'll ask you: is it more like New York's or Chicago's?
Guess what? It's more like New York's. Thus Chicago pizza casserole is the outlier and not a real pizza. I'm not sorry.

Gimme them thin slices, not that casserole shit.
Deep dish isn't really pizza. It's a pie.
I'm more partial to New Haven style than either.
If authenticity matters, NY pizza is sure as shit closer to the 'real thing' than Chicago casserole pie.

Cracker thin crust Chicago pizza is still my fav, toppings under the cheese, peppery tomato sauce omgsogood. It's Obama's favorite pizza too, he can basically make it law that it's the best pizza. What would yall have to say then when you're in federal prison?

I'm ok with this; thin pizza is the only pizza.

You are exactly right. If you showed someone in Italy a NYC pizza they would probably think its pizza (maybe with some snooty remark). If you show them a chicago style they wouldn't even be able to identify what style of food it was.
I tell you what's too salty: Chicago style pizza.
That makes no sense. Also, it was me
Maybe I should not delve into this but I have a question:
Which pizza style is the one with a thicker crust (think focaccia thick) and thin toppings/sauce. It seems to be neither the caserolle style Chicago (thin crust deep toppings) I see or the ultra thin and floppy NY style (thin crust and toppings).

That looks like a platter of maggots.
It's not like either. Italian pizza's not a soggy piece of bread you have to fold in half to just attempt to eat.

Incidentally, Ohio pizza's pretty good. They cut it cheesestick style at some places and fill it to the brim with toppings. I once had a pepperoni pizza there that was literally all pepperoni.

Not sure where you get soggy from. Neapolitan pizza (in italy) is much "wetter" than NYC style.
Lol, so a whole genre of pizza tastes bad?

Let's get something straight here, don't believe for a second that just because nyc style pizza is classified as thin don't think that it isn't filling.
It's amazingly balanced. The ratio is just right, the beautiful thing is the subtle differences between the different establishments, different tasting sauces, slightly different cheese distribution percentages, slight crust differences. It's amazing.
The closer a pizza is to nyc style the better. The widths can approach papa johns levels of thickness and it'll still be great. When you approach deep dish levels it starts to get iffy.
Too much bread brehs. A washout of flavors drowned in more stuff unnecessarily

I feel like at some point a pizza becomes so thin it teeters into being Turkish Lahmacun territory.
NYC style pizza is only good in New York, possibly because of better recipes or the whole New York water myth

This argument works for me.
It's all about the sauce to crust ratio. No one would look at an apple pie and say "Hey, that's a fuckin apple pizza!"

You're really grasping at straws. Sure, there's bad NYC pizza like there's bad food anywhere. But the majority of it is not "a soggy piece of bread." When made correctly, thin crust is solid yet flexible.

You're right. But then again, traditionally Italian pizzas tend to use unleavened flatbread which is (purposefully) wet and soggy in the middle. So does the New York leavened dough foldable thing then qualify as pizza?
The semantic debate about "what is pizza" is so incredibly stupid. Why do people care so much about whether something is called pizza?

New Haven style is the best followed closely by NY. Chicago is a disgrace to the word pizza.
