New York style pizza vs Boston style pizza, which reigns supreme?

Really is this even a question? Pfft

NYC of course!

ETA- The chance you run into sad pizza is infinitely higher the further you get from NYC.

What is Boston style pizza? I tried googling and the pictures I saw looked like anything from NY Style to Detroit style.

I wanted it to be just between NY and MA for this thread. It was inspired by @slo 's poll and Boston Blue's premiere.

[ClaraOswald]

Never heard of Boston style either.

I like NY style though not sure how authentic the options are out here where I live.

Sorry, but neither. We all know Detroit and Regina, SK make real good pizza.

 

[robinb]

Neither. Chicago pizza, followed by Connecticut pizza.

Not to ruffle and feathers, but this question is the same as asking:

"Which is better, bad pizza or even worse pizza that no one has ever heard of"?

Clearly people have heard of local versions/styles of pizza from their area. The Boston/MA vs NYC/NY sports rivalry is going to ramp up in multiple sports this season, so a thread about pizza is a fun idea.

Count me in as another who has never heard of Boston style pizza.
So I guess NY style? But we just call that... pizza.

Tried reading that article and it seems to say Boston pizza doesn't exist, but they are trying to make it up.

My guess is that Boston pizza is from the North End maybe? I have never been to the north end but I have seen travel shows featuring Boston and they always talk about Italian food and the north end as a place you must visit for good pizza, pastries and really any Italian food. I am guessing it's an Italian neighborhood. That's my guess anyway.
