Deep Dish or Thin Crust

SmootSmack · 08-18-2006, 09:14 PM

Continuing our food theme of the day, how do you like your pizza?

hooskins · 08-18-2006, 09:19 PM

Wow this really depends, I mean you could have some killer chicago deep dish, or some great italian thin crust. I would honestly pick a bit of both, because if done right, they are both amazing. But I am gonna go with thin crust, assuming is is a nice italian one, not shitty pizza hut.

hooskins · 08-18-2006, 09:21 PM

TAF are you gonna pick, or are you just gonna wait to see what the cool pick is, and go from there? Lol jk.

I do whatever The Ego tells me to do...

Actually, I think 2 out of 3 times I'd pick deep dish. First deep dish I ever had was at Pizzeria Due in Chicago. That was awesome. Deep dish pizza in Chicago is amazing, but if you're not in Chicago the deep dish isn't as good.

Uno's anywhere on the east coast is decent, but nothing compared to Chicago. But Uno's deep dish dominates most other deep dish in the area.

i'd actually have to split also... you can't beat a chi-town deep dish, but the NY slice is my favorite.

Deep Dish times 1000. I hate thin crust

wolfeskins · 08-18-2006, 09:49 PM

i'll take "thin" for the win.

out of the 2 I lean more towards thin crust but I love a "pan" or "original" style crust that has some crispness to the outside but nice and chewy on the inside.

Apples and oranges. Whichever suits my mood. Thin is probably the go to on most occasions considering there are few places that do good deep dish outside of Unos.

Bottom's Up here in Richmond has some pretty amazing deep-dish, but more often than not I'll go for the thinner, Italian-style crust. I agree with Brud and canthetuna's crust-as-delivery-mechanism assessments. For me, it's what's on top of the pizza that matters most. Sure, a well-made crust can enhance the pizza-eating experience, but if the toppings are crap, having nice dough underneath isn't going to do anything for me.

so would u recommend Bottom's Up? I've heard they aren't too bad but at 6.75 a slice it's expensive as all hell.

Yeah, Bottom's Up is definitely the best deep-dish pizza in Richmond, so if that's your thing, you've got to try it. As far as the price, their slices are huge, and they're usually loaded with toppings. This is the kind of pizza slice you have to eat with a fork and a knife, and most folks can't eat much more than a single slice. So really, if you compare it to most other entrees on any other casual dining menu, it's really about average.

I still prefer an authentic Italian thin-crust to any deep-dish I've had thus far. Of course, I've never had real Chicago deep-dish, nor have I had a NY slice, so you could say my pizza experience is somewhat limited.

I like deep dish, thin crust feels like i'm paying more for less.
