I love the DEEtroit style deep dish pizza.... cooked in the old machine parts ...pans...lol. Love that crispy, chewy crust. On the other hand, IMO’s from STL is a thin crust made with a special provel cheese. Also great.
Yeah, but can Kramer get calzones there? “...what is this?...No, NO! you have to have bills....” Yeah, but I just wanted my jacket warmed up....lol....
My favorite pizzas were while growing up: Volcano’s (local), that cut it’s pieces in “fingers.” (Circular pie cut in half then cross-cut five or six times.) It was just different from anything I’ve had since. The old Godfather’s chain was also a favorite. A thicker pie than most but not quite a Chicago stuffed. Cheese was used generously across the top to hold it all together. I also like Noble Roman’s, a chain which was closer to a New York but baked in square or rectangular pans and cut into squares for their larger pies.
are you talking fresh or frozen? Hill Country brand? Let me know. Please.
I love Chicago-style Italian beef. I had one of those sandwiches for the first time in 2001 when I visited an eatery off State St. in the Loop. They're hard to find here in Southern California.
Sorry.
That second picture down, at the link, under the heading What Goes Into Chicago Pizza - looks completely disgusting.
I live in northern suburbs of Philadelphia - there are pizza joints everywhere - just normal Italian pizza.
Being 70, and growing up in a rural area that got overtaken by “suburban sprawl”, I have noticed something with coffee, beer, pizza.
It seems like most local people are quite happy with the normal traditional version.. then along comes a bunch of fashion conscious young liberals who traveled to Europe or went away to college, and they really don’t like the “normal” beer, the “normal” coffee or the “normal” so they change it into something completely different.
Now you have all these so-called coffee shops and craft beer places - and strange versions of pizza. It’s fine if people want to do that, but it’s completely different than coffee or beer or pizza, so I wish they would come up with their own names for it.
That way, I could go into a place and ask for a cup of coffee and get a normal cup of coffee.
Don't they have pepperoni in Italy?
I wanted to do that. Didn’t know which restaurant to choose.
There is this pizza place in Cali that claims it can reconstitute NY tap by adding just the right minerals to distilled water, which is what they do, and claim their pizza is as authentic as anything in NY.
Too thick of a crust.
There was a movie star who ran a Chicago-style fast food joint in the Valley. They served Chicago-style hot dogs, Italian Beef sandwiches, etc.
One day he just closed up shop and that was that.
I'll have to start hunting for a new place.
“The salt air at sea level in NY produces”
Maybe that explains why the pizzarias on cruise ships put out such excellent pizzas. Salt air.
I have since learned that the cheese goes under the sauce, which I don't like as much as Godfather's.
That looks yummy but it is most certainly no Chicago-style.
“The old Godfather’s chain was also a favorite.”
I think that was my favorite pizza of all the chains. Delicious. (Herman Cain was CEO.)
But, really, there’s no such thing as bad pizza.
Because it’s a tomato-cheese casserole, not pizza. Midwesterners love their casseroles.
Food Theory did an episode on this. Turns out that it’s actually the tap water.
They are good
Edwardos is also very good
I like all forms of pizza
Certain toppings, no
Once you get used to New Haven style pizza it is pretty good. Capone’s from Branford is my go to, but Modern in New Haven is good too.
