Chicago gets a lot of love over here in the UK but New York has a reputation for brilliant Pizza doesn't it? Who holds the title for best pizza in the U.S.?
Best place in the U.S. for pizza, Chicago or New York?

Deep dish Chicago pizza is for 300 lb. guys or ones who want to be that heavy. The standard thin crust NY/Boston style is the best. Many NY pizza guys move to Florida and say they can't replicate the same crust. Research has shown that the water is the difference. Florida water is usually alkaline due to high levels of calcium carbonate.

I have found solid NY style pizza anywhere I have lived, so nothing special about NY or Chicago etc..
Thick deep dish crust is an unpinned grenade in the stomach. Best pizza perfect is the right thin crust thickness and toppings.

Chicago, N.Y., whatever - It's all good. Except when these foo-foo places try to get a little too fancy and start putting things like figs and brie on it.
Chicago deep dish - On a cold winter's night watching Sunday Night Football with a strong ale? Yes, please!!!
N.Y. Style - after a hard night of bar hopping, skirt-chasing, pool playing, and watching live bands? You betcha!!!
Damn, I could go for a slice right now!!!

One "new" fad I do not care for is the ultra thin cook it in 3 minutes places where they top it based on what you pick like Chipotle style.
I cannot stand the kind of chewy kind of crispy mega thin tasteless crusts and the restrictions that places on the overall pizza.
Those super fast pizzas cannot be made with a NY/Philly crust which has an edge and can support a fair ammt of sauce and cheese and toppings without it being undercooked or soggy.
Funny thing too, most pizza places can cook a normal pie in less than 10 minutes anyway so why settle for lousy crusts and overpay like for a "pieology" pizza?

I was raised on Chicago super thin "guy crust" pizza so I am partial to it BUT you can NOT beat a NYC "thin slice" for a late night snack after flying all day. Imperial Pizza @ "tirdy turd & turd" on the East side may just be THE best pizza i the WORLD. their slice is as big as most small pizza's in other parts of the country and the "veal sausage" is outstanding

I always wanted to try a Chicago slice. Brick oven pizza is a different animal but still really good
I can only speak for the NY metro area. The further you get from the City, the worse the pizza gets.
I can't find a decent slice in the Wayne/Paterson area and it's only 20 miles West of the City.

After a long day at work, I decided to grab myself a little caesars pizza because I was too lazy to cook anything that night. I was stuck on the toilet all weekend after eating that disgusting circle of garbage. Tasted like junk and my body treated it as such. Never again.
