    Clearly what Chicagoans call pizza isn't pizza. It can be tasty when done right, but let's not call it pizza. Pizza is done best by those located in the pizza belt: NY, NJ, Conn, RI and from time to time Boston.

    I just had a pie from Pepe's in New Haven a few days ago. That's a tasty pie. In general, however, the correct answer to "What's the best pizza?" is "Neapolitan."

    ^^^^^You cannot go wrong with a Neapolitan Margherita pizza that has been wood fired in a brick oven. As far as who makes it? Lombardi's in Soho. The ultimate clam pie is the best thing I've ever put in my mouth.

    I can't walk down the street eating chicago pizza for dinner, dressed to the nines, in heels, running late and finish it by the time I get to the train without completely destroying my hair, makeup, purse and outfit.

    Ny'ers are busy, ambitious, super awesome people with sht to do. Hell almost none of us have the patience for cars.

    Different city. Different needs.

    What do y'all do over there anyway?

    Sports? Lolol I lie jk

    I prefer St. Louis style, then NY, and I don't like Chicago at all.

    YES! And now I want pizza... DAMN! :grumble:

    ^^^ This. Neopolitan, however if not available, NY.

    Brilliant Matthews throw-back, BTW.

    I love nearly all things Chicago, but New York style pizza is the best. In the hotdog category, Chicago wins out!

    What's the pizza in New York that's cheese on the bottom, sauce on the top? Freaky freaky pizza. I had that when I visited a couple years ago and I don't know why but it just didnt taste the same.

    But as far as authentic New York pizza, THAT's MY pizza choice over anything else.

    You know, not to mention ITALY...

    But you're right. CT does have good pizza. I can't wait to go home to visit my grandparents this weekend and get some!
