    Oh, P.S. since Chicago is EAST of the Mississippi, Chicago-style counts as "East Coast" :bigsmile:

    ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? Have you ever had Chicago style pizza??? It's about as different from New York style pizza as you can get....

    Chicago style is the best. That's all there is to it. tyvm. ;-)

    Rachel Ray? Oprah? Martha Stewart?

    LMAO. Who gives a damn what those idiots have to say about pizza.

    even the NEW YORK TIMES agrees. Pizzeria Bianco>all others.

    East coast pizza is the BEST. West coast is eh. The crust just isn't right.

    Nothing beats the pizza stands in Rome where they fold the pizza in half to make it easier eat. That was damn good pizza. Also, gelato.

    Ditto - best pizza I ever had was at a little bistro in Venice. It had a flatbread-like stone baked crust with fresh vegetables, drizzled with olive oil instead of red sauce, proscuitto, and FRESH mozzerella cheese. It was made in this outdoor oven and had a smoked flavor. My mouth still waters when I think about it

    WANT.

    Oh goodness i must have this.

    Dr. Oz said that if you take a dose of Raspberry Ketones before you eat it, it'll negate all the calories and make you a revved up calorie burning furnace.

    Whoa now. Don't count the west out. Back in Idaho, the best pizza you'll ever meet is at the Idaho Pizza company. Hoy damn.

    And up here in Washington, check out Pizzazz Pizza. It'll blow your mind.

    Idaho Pizza is pretty good, but it doesn't compare to the pizzas of East Coast. I live in Idaho, but I have lived in the Midwest too as well as visited New York and the European countries.

    New York Style and Chicago Style don't even really compare as New York Style is large foldable slices and Chicago Style is deep dish pie.

    My God. NY.

    Grimaldi's
    Lombardi's
    Totonno's
    Arturo's
    Zero Otto

    And my personal fav- Patricia's in the Morris Park section of the Bronx.

    Even some of the twelve "original" Ray's Pizza is good- especially at 3am after drinking my face off.


    How could I forget Grimaldi's? Shame on me!

    Grimaldi's in Hoboken??? OMG AMAZINGGGGG PIZZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here in upstate we have Pontillo's which is awesome, and Brooklyn Joe's.
