Pizza Wars, New York vs Chicago--Travel Channel 8 PM EDT tonight

Oh Man! I saw a preview for this last night and intended to watch it. I'll probably bite the bullet and stay up and watch the later showing (of course tomorrow is the one day of the month I have to work at 5:00 AM).
 
Why watch at all? Anyone who knows ANYTHING about pizza knows that New York pizza is the ABSOLUTE BEST in the world! No comparison whatsoever!!!!!

I wish I knew HOW NY Pizza tasted, its gotta taste better than this crap I have been eating.:rolleyes:
 
NY Pizza??? No Way!!!!Only when it's Gino's Original from Chi Town... or Lou's or ONO's or Duo's...
 
I'll have to try Lou's when we go in June. I've had Gino's & Giodano's and love them both!
 
I'm an Uno's girl. The real stuff from Chicago, not that franchised junk! *sigh* I wish I were not on Atkins, I'd get some pizza this weekend.
 
DEEP DISH?????? Since when is REAL pizza "deep dish"? Anyone can add tons of dough and fill it with everything under the sun and then add another layer of dough!!!! REAL PIZZA is made in the NY metropolitan area! 1 layer of dough. The rest is toppings! Sorry CHI-TOWN, you're out-classed here!

Adam - I love you dude and you have great taste in drivers, but for pizza Chicago is #1 ::yes::

The day I couldn't eat pizza is the day I give up on life!


Now the big ? What exactly is Chicago style pizza?
 
I think we're going to have to conduct our own contest here...

It's obvious people tend to like what they have grown up on. For me, just about any pizza from outside the NYC area just isn't the same. I'm told the water has a lot to do with it.

The closest I've come to finding another pizza that I really liked was many years ago in Tijuana, Mexico, of all places. Lots of cheese and not too spicy.

The absolute worst was while visiting my son in Katrineholm, Sweden! Talk about thin crust... you could read the paper through it and no "normal" toppings.

I think that no matter where you're from, if you're a pizza "purist," you like it either plain cheese, or with sausage or pepperoni. When you start adding fruit and veggies and all that "gourmet" stuff, you have committed a grave sin and should be banished to Sweden.

Oh, yes... there should be just a trickle of oil running down your hand, too!
 
Now this is funny!! Can't wait. DH and I have discussed this for 31 years. We even disagree about the packaging - pizza box verses stupid bag - Ha can you guess which side I'm on????

I must defend Chicago pizza in spite of myself. Deep dish is OK but there really is great regular pizza (this is secret - please don't tell DH).

We also discuss which area has the most pay tolls on the highway.

We put that one to rest when we drove on the Florida Beeline - we think the Beeline problably won the toll contest.

Dan Murphy - thanks for the "heads up" for tonight!!!!!!!

:teeth:
