    Agreed gambs, I am not a fan of deep dish because I like to fold my slice. It s just too thick for me. But there is nothing wrong with it per say. NYC folk are snotty about everything , just not pizza 
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    Never claimed NY water to be superior.  Hell when I lived in the queens and there was a fire we would have rust in the toilet from the FD using the hydrants.

    Oh, New York, always good for a laugh!
    So NYers all have good ingredients and the rest of the US doesn't?  That doesn't make any sense...

    In all the places I've been to in the states I had found 2 places that made decent pizzas and Chicago isn't one of them.

    I've never had a good bagel outside of the NY/NJ area.  Not sure why that is either...
    Only two good pizzas outside of NY and not a sigle bagel? Give me a damn break. Even I’m not that negative. 
    Jersey has good Pizza but I don't count that.

    You don't realize how spoiled we are here.  If you live somewhere long enough,  your standards tend to lower so certain things will start to taste better over time.

    I can't find abondigas in NY.  When I was in cali last year I had it whenever I could.  Mexican food here on the east coast is nothing like out west.  Why?  I have no idea but whenever i ask for abindigas the servers look at me like I have ten heads...  Maybe they aren't Mexican?

    I don't think people visit NY for pizza either lol

    Even still, just because it's not something we are famous for, that doesn't mean there isn't any good.

    Barbecue was mentioned, I've been to some of the most famous BBQ joints in America, but the best I've had was at a small chain called City Barbecue in Columbus, Ohio.  And it blew some of the famous places away.

    Another thing about barbecue is that even in regions dominated by a sauce style, you can still get other sauces, they don't accept only 1 single style.
    It's funny too, the KC style sauce I got in South Carolina was better than in KC, and the Carolina mustard sauce I tried in Memphis was better than in Carolina lol

    All this talk of pizza got me hungry...
  • rgambsrgambs Posts: 13,576
    That looks legit delicious!
    Little more cheese on the top right though.

    I didn't know square slices were allowed in NY?

    Sicilian is square and a must. 

    The one on the right is an “upside down” slice so the cheese is under the sauce. 

    The left top is a grandma slice and of course your traditional w some pepperoni. 

    Gambs if u ever make it out this way I’ll treat you to a few slices. 
  • rgambsrgambs Posts: 13,576
    What is the rationale for the upside-down slice?  The carmelization of the cheese is one of the best things about pizza, so I wonder what the trade-off is?

    This is how Chicago-style deep dish is traditionally done. Because the crust (and thus the overall pizza) is thicker, it needs to bake it longer which could burn the cheese & other toppings. It also helps keep the crust from getting too soggy. I would assume the same reasoning for a Sicilian, as Chicago deep dish is basically a variation of such.

    I've only been to michigan once so I don't think I have ever tried it.  Is it any good?
    tonight my wife and I had fried calamari and a margheriti pie with tartufolo for dessert.  I got back to my in laws and they had a grandma pie.  And of course I just had to have a slice lol.

    Is that a thing?  Do Chicagoans do that?

    Cuz that's an even bigger pile of bullshit.
    As much as I hate NY thinking it's the center of the universe, they certainly have a better claim to it than Chicago lol!

  • Things are heating up in the pizza thread lol.

    I love the deep dish pizza for the record. If someone is going to tell me it isn't very good... I'll do something. Maybe I'll fart in their general direction or something.

    I know... pizza thread but if you're gonna get started on barbecue.... KC dry rub ribs falling off the bone. Hot dayumm!! At some Irish bar where you could bring your dogs on the Missouri River..On Missouri side of KS. Just amazing. I bought some country style ribs today and cooked them all day with onions n spices n sauce n crock pot bc it's storming here today. No grillin. I'm partial to Eastern NC style bbq with the vinegar based sauce and I add some honey smoked western NC red sauce and it's perfection.

    I'll take a good pork shoulder or rack of ribs over pizza most days, for sure. Electric smoker makes it a no brainer... easy, no mess in the house, delicious every time. Damn, now I'm gonna have to take a bird out of the freezer and smoke her up soon. I'll be out of birds before I can raise another batch lol

    The dry ribs (smoked preferably) are awesome!

    Some people (like NY people) like ribs smothered in ketchup. Not me!

    Not necessarily a pizza thread pic,  but for any of you that are going to the Wrigley shows in August, go to La Scarola in Halsted and Grand. The food is second to none. Authentic gnocchi...

    Deep dish is really, really good.  I love cheese and sauce so it was fantastic.  I didn't care for the crust so I didn't eat that because it was literally like a pie which I found awkward.

    I also don't consider deep dish a traditional pizza.  It's called deep dish for a reason, so it can separate itself from other pizza types.
