Yeah, Rustica is the only place I really order from. Definitely the best I have had. Don't think they cook it enough though at times.
I'd agree with that. Almost better left over than fresh. Still great though
For sure. Definitely the best pizza available.
Tomato pie and water ice are two things I don't get about Philly.
What the hell do you mean you "don't get" water ice? Other than it's fucking sweet, of course?

I'm not good at posting pics on here, some time they work and others they don't. So, here is a link to the website for Pi, it's delicious! http://www.restaurantpi.com/
Last weekend I finally perfected the art of home made pizza.
My based turned out just like how you get it from a restaurant.
I even typed my recipe on word haha.
Having viewed this whole thread I can say not all countries make pizza the same.
You Americans make it different to how we make it here in Australia.
I also had pizza when in Croatia and I can say it beats pizza here, so simple and awesome.
I would love to try the Chicago style pizzas!

To each his own, I guess . No in NY needs to wait an hour for great freak'n pizza. I have had both & I prefer NY style . I love a thin crispy crust, I always ask for it a bit well done .
My wife thinks I'm a pizza snob............. .
She thinks everyone from NY is a pizza snob :? .................... .

PIZZA DOUGH RECIPE
Makes one large sized pizza
Ingredients
200 ml / ¾ cup warm (not hot) water
3 teaspoons dry yeast
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon olive oil
Plain white flour
Method
1. In a coffee mug combine the yeast, salt, and sugar, mix it together
2. Add the warm water, ensure it is not burning hot as this affects the yeast
3. Stir thoroughly until yeast, salt, and sugar are dissolved
4. Pour mixture into a large bowl
5. Add flour, a tablespoon at a time and keep stirring
6. Add the oil when the mixture turns from runny to slightly gooey and mix through
7. Continue adding the flour slowly whilst stirring until dough is ready for kneading
8. Knead until a smooth, elastic round ball is formed
9. Place a tea towel over the bowl and leave the bowl in a dark, warm environment (heating the room helps the yeast work)
10. Allow to rest and rise for one hour
11. Once the dough has risen knock the air out of the dough (gentle punch with your fist will bring the dough down)
12. Knead the dough again until a smooth, elastic ball is formed
13. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough evenly and aim to get it to the shape or close to the shape of the pizza pan
14. Carefully place the base on the pizza pan, if a bit short don’t worry, gently stretch until the base reaches the edge of the pizza pan
15. Ideally let the base rest on the pan for a few minutes before adding your sauce and toppings.

I don't mean to paint with a broad brush here, but I find that to be true. It seems as though New Yorkers can't accept the fact that someone might think something outside of New York might be better.
Personally, I don't think either one is better than the other. It's an apples/oranges comparison. They're completely different. I think Adam Richman (Man v Food guy) said something along the lines of Chicago deep dish being a sit-down meal whereas New York pizza is street food.
And you don't need to wait an hour to get great pizza here. We do have thin crust pizza. Again, it's not the same as NY pizza.
I hate this argument/debate - chicago-style/New York-style(which isn't a style, it's just the regular version a/k/a not Chicago-style) = Apples/Oranges
I can't speak for New York because I've never eaten there, but my girlfriend dragged me to a "New York" pizza place and it was horrible. It tasted very processed with little taste.
I prefer thin crust though, cut in squares. Giordano's. If It's think crust its gotta be Lou Malnatti's butterball crust.
I'm sure New York has some good pizza places, but I've only eaten pizza on the west coast and Kansas City and all those places it tasted like cardboard.
Me and some coworkers went to Kansas City for work. The guys hosting us bragged and took us to what they thought was good pizza.. It was horrible. It tasted like Pizza Hut.
Speaking of Pizza Hut, anyone rememeber back in the 80s when it was kind of good?

That sounds yummy, I will definitely try it! Thank you!

And I'll be one of the first to say pizza is one of the most overrated foods in this country.
fraudulent...
Not at all. Pizza, not chicago-style because that's in it's own hemisphere as a meal, it's not really pizza when you think of the orthodox pizza style. Chicago-style pizza is like saying a horshoe crab is designated as a 'crab', when it's not. Alright, terrible comparison, but you get my point....So like I said, pizza is overrated. Cheese, dough, sauce, whoop dee doo. There's plenty of better options over pizza is all I'm saying.
Ok, I haven't read the whole thread sorry but can anyone cut to the chase & tell me where I can get the best NY style & then Chicago style pizza when I'm in both places after PJ20[I've got 3 nights in NYC & 1 night in Chicago (OMG still can't quite believe this ) & pizza is actually on the 'things I must do' list for both!! ]?? I've heard Two Boots is good in NYC?
