    From my photo you can guess where I'm from. Chicago Pizza, in all forms, is delicious. But I'm more of a thin crust guy. And even 'thin crust' can be broken down into several different categories. I think NY style is its own category. And you dont have to go to NY to get it, just go to Sbarro.

    Oh, and GO BEARS!

    SACRILEGIOUS! If you want *real* New York Style (which really makes no sense to me... it's just Pizza...but I'm from NY) then you must have it here... I've been a lot of places... that call themselves making 'NY Style Pizza'... painful at best... and yeah, I know some people say it's like sex... even if it's bad, it's good... NO! NO! *raps you in the nose with a paper* Cut It Out! Bad pizza is JUST PLAIN BAD. Nothing redeeming about it... And if you think NY Style pizza has a super thin crust... then you're not having real NY pizza... trust.

    Anything from PA, NY, NJ or DE is far superior to anything anywhere else & I wish they delivered to Reno. The "pizza" out here on the west coast is foul beyond reason :sick:

    Chicago. Anyone who thinks otherwise has never eaten pizza in New York and eaten pizza in Chicago. They are just voting for the style they prefer. IMHO.
    Home Run Inn, a chain with many locations.
    Vito and Nick's, on the Southside.

    YES! Any & ALL pizza on the west coast is vomit-inducing! I mean who the hell puts artichoke hearts on a friggin' pizza?!?!?!

    I'm surprised so many Chicago pizza fans like Giordano's. It's all about the Lou Malnati's...get the butter crust with sausage and green peppers, yum!

    I think you know what my answer is ;)

    I love Lou Malanati's! They are my fav.....waaaaaayyyyy better than any other place I have ever been to. Oh, and they deliver to my house :/

    The answer is that the best pizza comes from the Northeastern pizza belt. a pizza range that includes New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and to a lesser extent Massachusetts. Chicago "pizza" isn't bad, but it shouldn't be called pizza any more than the flat bread stuff without red sauce.

    This just in from "the center of the universe" Toronto, On, Canada

    Best pizza - Vesuvio's Pizzeria & Spaghetti House
    " It’s generally accepted that New York Style pizza in Toronto was born when the Pugliese family opened the doors of Vesuvio in 1957, making this restaurant the oldest pizza place in Canada’s biggest city."
    - It has won many awards over the years.

    Thin crust, well baked (crunchy not doughy) and not too much sauce. Its the only pizza I will break my diet rules for.

    I also want to add that any "pizza" made with a dough that rises for less than 24 hours is not really pizza.

    Detroit Style (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit-style_pizza). Luckily I don't live in the city anymore.

    NY pizza. Agree the Chicago stuff (though tasty) just isn't pizza. My favorite spot is called Keste' on Bleecker street. Truffle spread on a brick oven pizza with the perfect crust?! I die! Although, that's actually Neapolitan pizza which, IMO trumps both!

    While many outside of Chicago think all we eat is deep-dish, WRONG. While we do enjoy a good deep-dish once in a while. Majority of us in Chicago/Burbs eat THIN CRUST, cut "chicago style" or into squares. Chicagoans, we love our thin crunchy crust!

    Yes, Buddies Pizza is the best. And Jets is a close second.
