I live in Australia. I want to try a Chicago style deep dish. Looks so good.
It is even better than it looks. Don’t let these think-they-know-it-all New Yorkers try to convince you otherwise. They're not the World Pizza Council.
It is not good! It's a gooey mess.
Signed, Really does know it all Victorian
I'm a Victorian too.

See, I told you @Thoughts_Arrive! The New York Pizza Snob Department does not tolerate variance. Apologies will not be accepted lol
Since Ohio is pretty much in the middle of New York and Chicago, are you guys more thin crust or deep dish?
Oh, it's glorious. We have every style of pizza imaginable! Of course, so do Chicago and New York lol
No, the honest truth is that chain pizza dominates much of the state, but I'm not above a nice greasy slice of pizza hut. There's no way to tell what kind of pizza you are getting at a local place until you try it. Ohio isn't a Mecca for anything, but it is like a bazaar where you can get anything.
Unfortunately I don’t have much for good pizza where I live either. I mean, it’s hard for pizza to be truly “bad” but I feel the options around here are all about the same. Nothing stands out as great amongst the rest. We have a lot of Pizza Huts, a couple Papa Johns, a Dominos, & a Little Caesars. The rest is mom & pop shops that all serve pretty much the same thing because they get their shit from the same distributor. The one restaurant that everyone raves about locally is as mediocre as the rest, in my opinion. They just have a wider selection of “gourmet” toppings, it’s wood fired, & they cost a lot more, so everyone thinks they’re the best. But I’ve had much better almost any time I’ve been out of town.
Making home made pizza tonight. Yummmm - can't wait!
i hope my basil survived the recent frost/snow, though.
canadian bacon?

Posted this in the food thread: pizza I had in Brooklyn last night. Easily one of the best pies I have ever had.
Burnt. Poor disbursement of ingredients. That box of scrap wood looks like it might feature tastier items.
Aaaaand... it looks like you have plenty of forks underneath it to couple with your knife and go at it.
Poser.
burnt? you are crazy lol. You know you are jealous.
Lol when something turns black, it's safe to say it's burnt! You can like burnt pizza, that's fine with me (although the NYPSD might attack you).
I don't mind a little char, but that's too much for me, the bitterness would only be acceptable to my pallette of the sauce is too sweet.
I agree, it's a little much. I enjoy a touch of char as well, but those are some huge hunks of charcoal there. Also, the crust is too thick. Did they just put topping on a loaf of bread?

I would eat around the burnt part.....and then probably get to the burnt part at the end.

I must have took a bad picture because the crust wasn't thick at all. There was about 20 pies sitting there and of course I take a picture of the one with a little char on it lol. Trust me, the pizza was amazing. Ranch dressing?!
Had an excellent pie at the movie theatre tonight with prosciutto, tomato, & basil. Couldn’t take a pic because phones are strictly prohibited in the theatre.

Yes.
It's tough to tell from photos sometimes, but if I was forced to choose between Scruffy's charred remnants and, say, a can of Chef Boyardee ravioli... I might choose the ravioli (even uncooked- straight from the can).
You gotta remember... Scruffy gets hammered sometimes. He'll slop back anything and think it's delicious. Maybe that's what happened here? I dunno.

Having said that, though, they are correct.
Chicago-style is poop on a plate.
