penultimatestraw 473 Posted April 30, 2016 I never understood what makes a "good" NY pizza. Maybe it is because I grew up with the style, but they all taste more or less the same to me. Thin crust, sauce, cheese. Woohoo? Is there something about the sauce? Because everything else is nothing special. Agreed. Typical NY bravado. Chicago style is much better.

penultimatestraw 473 Posted April 30, 2016 I know i. Should spin this off, bu: potatoes galette, prosciutto, pesto, MAybe romas on great crust. Amaxing. Think there already was a pizza topping spinoff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerryskids 5,166 Posted April 30, 2016 Agreed. Typical NY bravado. Chicago style is much better. Like you I personally prefer Chicago style, but that is just because of the buttery goodness of the deep dish crust. NY crust is just a thin baked burrito to hold sauce and cheese, yay! Of course the Chicago style is also worse for you because of all of the carbs. Anyway, shots brought up the water... oy, I've heard that bullshiot "water" argument from New Yorkers so many times. I guarantee you that if I started a pizza place and advertised that I had NY water shipped in, then used Phoenix water and pissed in it occasionally, I'd have New Yorkers raving about the awesomeness of my otherwise bland cheese pizza.

shotsup 830 Posted April 30, 2016 I don't know the science behind it but it's not BS. I know a local place that tried trucking the water to new location outside NY and it wasn't the same. All the ex NYers I know when they return they A eat pizza B bring bagels and cheese cakes home with them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tanatastic 2,061 Posted May 1, 2016 Deep dish sucks, IMO. Never understood the love for it. And I like crust, just not an inch-thick layer of it I recently have come to agree. Last 3 DD I had were just bread and the same amount of toppings as any other pizza. There is a place in the SF Bay Area near Berkeley called Zachary's that had killer Chicago style. But all I have had since have been crap and I am calling deep dish overrated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mungwater 588 Posted May 1, 2016 If Chicago deep dish is done right, it could be very good, problem is most places don't take the time to cook it all the way through. If it's half assed, it tastes like . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shotsup 830 Posted May 1, 2016 Place was called Cinellies and had 4 locations plus a contract in jones Beach theater. Think the other satellite locations (with trucked in water) was also stadiums. Probably Jersey shore and CT. They still are a very successful pizzeria. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DankNuggs 305 Posted May 2, 2016 Original pizzeria Regina I like to dip crusts in something occasionally. As to what makes pizza better it's the oven. I was at a home builders show and spent some time at a display where the guy was importing these Italian outdoor grills that can get up to 800-900 degrees, cook a pizza in 2-3 minutes with the right combo of hard crusty bottom and soft and chewy. I think that's the biggest key and why those old school pizza places are so good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I liked the sauce with the chunks of stewed tomatoes. Still prefer that kind of sauce on thin crust. In Italy they just cut up those mozzarella balls and some basil with the good sauce and it's amazing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vuduchile 1,940 Posted May 2, 2016 Then you never had good NY pizza. Good NY pizza doesn't need "dressing" to make it better. I OK with places making crazy concoctions just not my thing. My problem is your stoopid comment. If you want plain pizza get papa johns. Stupid This is correct. There's a great pizza joint on almost every block in Manhattan. Some are better than others, but they're almost all amazing. No ranch, no chicken, no Korean, no bbq, or any of that other crap that doesn't belong on a pizza. Just cheese, pepperoni or sausage by the slice. The best pizza I've ever eaten comes from the metro north stop in Fairfield, CT. Everything about it is perfect from the crust, to the sauce to the ratio of cheese and pepperoni. It's awesome. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
