The Layman's Guide To Pizza Styles

[blakbearddelite]

Oh I miss Barnaby's...used to frequent the one at Golf/Roselle in my youth.

Also, I love Dominos for a cheap, quick, pie. I'm not spending $30 on a pizza just to try to be boujee about my pizza consumption.

I won't say I disagree. I think it's in the ingredient to crust ratio that plays with your mind. For example, I prefer innies (yea, go with the bad jokes...), from a square cut pizza. Way, more gooey, greasy, cheesy goodness and minimal crust. It's pretty much like being a kid and eating a pie-cut and not eating the crust.

I prefer the outside pieces myself. I like the crust crispier, and the outside pieces typically have a thicker crust too.

This is why my Wife and I are still married. She like's the crust, I like the inside pieces. No battles ensue.

Me and the GF are the same, she likes the inside. Works perfectly.

You guys are going to be so mad when I actually post rankings of pizzas and not just an example of what I like

I guess we don't have any angry Italians here. Neapolitan is trash and LC Deep!Deep! passes as Sicilian. I expected this thread to be more saucy.

I

I don't know that getting hung up on how it's cut is important. To me it's more a "preference". At the place I worked at, thin crust and extreme thin was "party cut" (the square), and Double dough, Pan and stuffed was "pie cut" (the triangle). However upon request we would cut anything you ordered any way you want, or heck, not even at all. I'd take extreme thin 12" pizza's, roll them up like a calzone and shove 'em down the gullet.

Heck, we'd cook them as the customer wanted too. Some people like to "Par-bake" them. Meaning we cook them just long enough to start warming it and melting the cheese, then they, the customer will take it and finish it at home.

i thought take and bake was stupid till I got it at one of my favorite places that’s juuuust far enough for the pizza to start cooling by the time I get home. Now I get take and bake and it’s just as good as sitting down to eat in the restaurant.

100% square cut pizza tastes better than slices. I even get NY style pizza cut in squares (when they actually remember to do it). Tastes way better

 

[CMNTMXR57]

It was something more common than I thought evidently.

The LC reference is supposed to show an example that literally everyone should be familiar with. It's a style, and it definitely fits the bill.

 

[ragingclue]

Maybe according to your definition. I'm not sure I'd agree. But they're both just opinions, makes for good discussion at least.

Bacci Would not be on my fav list ever but we order huge amounts of pizza from them at work. Talking about a $2000+ order of pizza to feed 300-400 or so people once a month and they always take care of us. Can’t say the same for all the Pizza places we’ve ordered from.

As was said earlier everyone will have their favorite and mine is a small place called Little Sicily pizza and bakery in Schaumburg. It’s fucking delicious hot, cold, left out overnight, just delicious.

I love Bacci for slices. Ive never gotten a full pie there.

I would consider the LC square style pizza (if that is what is being referred to), as a Detroit style pizza.

I'm calling those the same thing. Should I not?

 

[Bird1989]

My personal favorite is located in ottawa, il. The restaurant is called Bianchis and it is like crack. I don't know what style it is but imo is the best pizza I've ever had.

I think only snobs will give you any sort of issue. Detroit style is bastardized Sicilian. LC is cheap and bastardized Detroit style. In the end, if you put the LC next to a proper Sicilian pizza, the differences are a lot more than the similarities. Kinda like a Big Mac and a Porterhouse. But it was a good piece anyway, was just giving you shit. And I'm just really into Detroit style (I make it from scratch from time to time and grew up eating way too much of it), so I'm probably a bit snobby there.

 

[LikeABauce302]

I actually really like Neopolitan pizza lol. The problem is you really can't make a meal out of it. You have to have some pasta or something else on the side because it's just not filling by itself.

My favorite spot for Neopolitan pizza is Quartino in Chicago. Great food, service is awesome, and it's reasonably cheap for a nice Italian restaurant.

I love having opinons on things that people disagree with.

Yes. Maybe you did later, I just saw the reference to LC square style (LC is from the Detroit area).

Just funny when you mention it’s your favs and then everyone has to chime in about a secret hole in the wall in a town nobody wants to go to and claim it’s the best pizza ever made but they only sell it once a month and only make 8 pies that day or some shit. Makes them all sound badass for sure.

Is this in reference to my mentioning Buddy's?
