Ok. Well, I think both are great. Different in so many ways but both are tasty none the less. 🤷‍♂️😋

[Argoboy]

Good one. What about Detroit style pizza which I would like to try.

[Steve R.]

I came here to say it has them both beat. Now I'll put on my flame-proof suit and slip out quietly.

[Jfrosty27]

I have never had Detroit style. Need to do that. I’m sure I’d like it. The only bad pizza is NO pizza!

This recipe does make a great pie. Never been to Detroit, so no DSP for comparison.

My preference when it comes to US pizza styles is NY, I like traditional Italian pizza so any thin crust style is my jam. Between Chicago and Detroit thicker styles I prefer Detroit since it usually isn't as thick.

[Attjack]

I don't think I've ever had Chicago style and I feel fine.

[Murdy]

You think you know what you don't know, but you really don't.

[gboss]

Is that an REM song?

[Greygoose]

El Presidente is the only pizza authority I trust,,,,

One of my best pals is from Chicago and has gone on and on for years about how much better Chicago style pizza is. So while I was there I visited his fav, Geno's East. Not my jam at all. A single piece is like eating an entire loaf of bread. For those who love it, more power to you. I just can't eat that much.

[Jfrosty27]

Geno’s is good. But the spot is Pequod’s. Or even Lou Malnati’s.

[Andrrr]

Agreed, it’s way too much for me. The thin crust though…

[Dan Deter]

Connecticut style cracker crust is good, too....

[HawkerXP]

Wait, what? Crackers???

[Murdy]

Yes, my wife is from the New Haven area, and we visit from time to time, that's a great style of pizza.

[Dan Deter]

I used to go up there for work on a regular basis and discovered it then. Now have a place near me that does an acceptable version. Also a good NY style place as well. Between them they limit my desire to make my own pizzas

[HawkerXP]

"The only acceptable hot dog condiments. Mustard, onions and stagnant cart water." F'n aye!

[WayneT]

LMAO! Thanks for posting that.

I’ve had Chicago style pizza from the original UNO’s in downtown Chicago and I thought it was good. I’ve had NY style pizza from numerous pizza joints in NYC and thought it was good. I’ve had Napolitano style pizza in Italy and thought it was good. I make primarily the latter at home. When it comes to pizza toppings and embellishments, less is more imho.

[radiodome21]

As someone who lives close to Chicago, I can honestly say that I basically support any and all pizzas with the exception with anything with peppers on them. We don’t really eat Chicago style that often and usually go with thin crust. But I love it. But I pretty much love all pizza. New York, Detroit, and even St. Louis pizza is all good by me.

[Jfrosty27]

Oooo. I forgot about St. Louis za. Love that Provel cheese.

[WI Bubba]

What most people outside of the Chicago metro area don't know is that there are two Chicago pizza styles. The well known deep dish, and the far more common thin crust, also known as "bar style". The vast majority of the time locals are ordering thin crust over deep dish. The arguments over who does the best thin crust run as deep as who has the best fish fry in Wisconsin, or the best cheese steak in Philly. I won't even dip my toe into the hotdog debate, since there is only room to argue who does the second best hotdog after the Chicago dog.

[Grillin Dad]

My 7 year old still puts ketchup on his hot dogs. I'm considering holding an intervention for him.

[bbqLuv]

I have never seen a Pizza that was not FLAT!
Pickle Pizza beats them all.

[FireMan]

I like what I said now that I don’t know what it is I said. 🕶

[bbqLuv]

FireMan I think I understand what I thought you said, but I am not sure what I read is what you meant.

[FireMan]

Oh yeah man! ✌️

[Red Man]

A lot of bad "Chicago" deep dish pizzas have way too thick of a crust. The best Chicago deep dish pizzas are not a very thick crust, just deep dish and have an unusual order for the toppings. My favorite is sausage that covers the entire pizza and is put on raw to cook with the pizza. Here’s one I’ve made (because I don’t have any pics of the real thing).

[bbqLuv]

Yes, Ditto. Fantastic

[synodog]

Chicago pizza vs NY pizza? It doesn’t matter to me. Just don’t put pineapple on it.

<<<<<<<SHIELDS UP>>>>>>>

[WayneT]

A white sauce, such as Alfredo or garlic Parmesan, instead of a red sauce makes pineapple quite appealing on a pizza.

[SheilaAnn]

synodog you don’t need a shield, I’ll protect you! 😂😂😂😂
