Received a frozen Lou Malnati's pizza as a mail christmas present, cooked it up by the directions, and my god it was delicious.
I had it about 23 years ago. I’ll pass. New York style pizza is the best in my opinion.
It’s the same as any other pizza except it comes in a Kevlar delivery box.
Its basically a lasagna without noodles
It’s like eating real French bread for the first time — once you’ve eaten real Italian pizza, everything else tastes like, well, something other than real Italian pizza. Chicago style is good, but it should be called ???? Suggestions?
Chicago pizza is my first choice.
I like Chicago-style pizza, but I have never met a pizza I didn’t like.
A displaced New Jerseyite pizza maker in Phoenix once explained it to this New Yorker
It’s all about the atmosphere. The salt air at sea level in NY produces
A particular pizza crust consistency impossible to get in the middle of the country
It’s why I can’t get a food tortilla in NY. I have to be in texas for that
Pequods puzzi, the joint on Clyburn, is basically cracked. Totally addictive.
more crust
more cheese
Did someone say Chicago style pizza?Born and raised Chicago kid here.
Lou Malnati’s pizza is great but my fav Chicago food is Chicago Italian Beef. YUM on steroids!
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.
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.
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.
I wanted to do that. Didn’t know which restaurant to choose.
Too thick of a crust.
Because it’s a tomato-cheese casserole, not pizza. Midwesterners love their casseroles.
They are good
Edwardos is also very good
It’s pizza you can’t get them to deliver in south Chicago?
