Pizza Wars: Chicago-style vs. New York-style

My husband makes THE BEST grilled pizza.

Years ago, two brothers from NY started a Real New York Pizza, that was the name, close to where I worked. To this day, the best pizza I have ever eaten. They were only here for a few years and then moved back to New York. Their pizza was a super thin crust, thin layer of tomato sauce and topped with mozzarella cheese. After having had their pizza, a chain pizza is just too disappointing. When we have pizza, I use Publix pizza dough or make my own and use simple toppings. Its not as good as the boys from NY but it will do.

My favourite pizza place here in my city in Ontario, Canada is a place called "Chicago Style Pizza". We eat it very rarely because it is a coronary wrapped in a delicious crust... but this place has the best pizza ever.

The way they make it is a layer of deep dish crust, their award winning sauce and a inch and half (!) of cheese and all the toppings (fillings) you like. I usually go for pepperoni, mushroom and onion. Then they top the pizza with another thin layer of crust and some sauce on top of that. It's definitely a once a year, one slice will do, fork and knife, better take a walk after, to die for, pizza pie!

I love pizzas with thick base and loads of cheese and mushroom. I like NY style pizza.

It's hard for me to choose because Chicago style done right is do die for and NY style also done right, same thing !
Unfortunately, I have only had the real things a couple of times, I'm usually disappointed when ordering in a restaurant.
