The Pizza Thread

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

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?

Confirmation bias is all that is.

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...

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. 

HesCalledDyer

I am liking that upside down slice.

rgambs

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?

Deninos brick, nj.  Top 20 in the state.

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.

Regarding New York Pizza the annoyances less about claims of quality and more about claiming to have the definitive say to which styles pizza aer acceptable.  
Millions upon millions of people love Chicago deep dish style pizza, but they are all wrong because some New Yorkers say so?
Nope, sorry, thats bullshit.

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.
