Which do you all like better?

I'm pretty neutral on them. We used to have a nearby pizza place called Vito's that made New York style pizza and it was the best damn pizza I have ever had, too bad it isn't here anymore. I have also had Uno's pizza which is a well known Chicago style pizza restaurant it's excellent as well.

I had forgotten about this, they sell it on the side walks there. I also have had uno's pizza it is very good . we have no pizza here , they call it pizza but it sucks. Best I ever had was at emo's in St Louis. God I lov that pizza.

I'm with NY pizza all the way, infact the only thing I miss about back home is the pizza place. The pizza here is good, but they don't know you're supposed to have eggplant as a topping, and I feel bad for everyone who goes through life not knowing what a garlic knot is...

I ate toasted ravioli, at a place called canetos spelled wrong I am sure, Old jake and I went there. you wate at the bar forever to get a table. most of the food they had was pasta. I also ate at a place called gracie delly? the man named jerry owned it and jake said he made the sauces for all the fancy places. I liked St Louis it was different it was like a big city but it was also like a town I do not know how to exsplain it. I will go to see me mate jake one day.

I've been to St. Louis a few times. I know what you mean James about it being like both a big city and small town.

Morgan, you sound like my sister, she likes all the weird toppings. lol I pretty much just stick to Pepperoni and Italian sausage.

I've never had chicago- style pizza (what is it?)...I'm not a fan of the New York style because it's that super thin crust, and I like a fluffy crust, which...Pizza Hut makes fantabulously. 🙂

Phoenix, Chicago style is pretty much the exact opposite of NY style , really thick, lots of cheese. You can't eat it by hand it has to be eaten with a knife and a fork. Pizza Hut used to do one, but it was limited time, which what I hate about Pizza Hut, their best pizzas are always limited time.

I bet it does...you live (or used to..) in the pizze capital of the world, so I have no doubt you "know good pizza" better than I do. 😛 Actually....is Italy the pizza capital of the world?? Wow....maybe I should just eat food and not talk about it....

There's a place in Stoughton, MA, called Town Spa pizza that has really yummy pizza. . . The only thing is that people don't make it, it's all done by a pizza making machine. As much as I like the pizza there, I just have to say that I can't appreciate it as much, because there's no actual human skill involved, only done by machines. Oh well. . .

That's weird about Italy, btw. lol. Or I should say..."interesting".

I must admit that I *do* enjoy seeing the pizza people flipping the dough around, smackin' the sauce on there and all of that. We *sort of* have places like that here...but for some reason I like the taste of the friggin' CORPORATE PIZZA MACHINE (ahem, Pizza Hut) better. I'm so weird.
