    I just don’t understand people who choose NY pizza over Chicago. It really makes no sense to me. There’s no comparison. I adore a proper NY slice, but it’s nothing on the event that is Chicago pizza.

      I’d rather eat my pizza like a solid, not a soup. Apparently you have never tried wood fired Neapolitan. It’s like eating a fine steak to your worst cut possible

      It really depends on what someone’s in the mood for.

      I’m from just outside NYC, and I enjoy ALL kinds of pizza. NY pies, Grandma-style Sicilian pies, Chicago deep dish, Detroit rectangle pies, Philly tomato pies…

      They’re all different and they offer different things.

      A good New York slice fresh from the oven is gooey and cheesy and melty and the tartness of the sauce mixes with the creaminess of the cheese.

      Chicago casserole pies are really like eating PIE, but it’s all delicious cheese and tomato.

      Sicilian and tomato pies have that wonderful focaccia style crust that absorbs all the flavor from the cheese, sauce, and olive oil.

      Detroit pies have that great caramelization on the edges, and the brick cheese gives it a unique flavor and body.

      Life is too short to fight over pizza. Just don’t eat shitty pizza.
