Re: Deep Dish or Thin Crust

I went thin crust, because (but for a few exceptions) crust is merely the delivery mechanism for cheese, toppings, and sauce. Oh, sure, there are a few delicious crusts out there, but I'm eating pizza because I want all the good stuff on top.

It's the logic behind the Double Stuff Oreo. That cookie sells. I don't see a stampede for the Extra Cookie Oreo.

Re: Deep Dish or Thin Crust

There is clearly a time and place for thin crust pizza, but having grown up in the neighborhood of Old Forge, PA pizza, I learned to love pizza with body. Old Forge is famous for it's double crust white pizza. I used to eat it by the tray. If you haven't had it... it's definitely worth the pilgrimage. Ghigarelli's, Arcaro and Genell's, and Revello's were my faves back in the day.

Luckily, I now live 30 minutes from New Haven which has some pretty famous 'za in it's own right, albeit thin crust. Pepe's, Modern, Bar and Sally's are all top notch.

Read about Old Forge and New Haven Pizza here: Pizza - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Here's a recipe for Old Forge white... I gotta try it: Stephencooks : Old Forge White Pizza

Re: Deep Dish or Thin Crust

Depends on what I'm in the mood for, both are great in their own right. But overall I prefer thin crust, NYC style.

You haven't had pizza until you've had authentic NYC pizza.

Re: Deep Dish or Thin Crust

It has to be deep dish. If I say thin crust, the Cook County Sheriff would be sent to my house to kill me on the spot. I don't want that.

Re: Deep Dish or Thin Crust

deep dish for dmek and thin crust for the family. it seems like with the thin crust automatically comes oodles and oodles of grease. there is just something that turns me off about eating pizza and grease dripping all over the place

You just don't notice all of the grease because sauce is on top in the deep. It's there, and more of it.

Re: Deep Dish or Thin Crust

I'm more of a thin crust kind of guy, and since I've never been to Chicago, I can't say that I don't like deep dish.

but to me, locally, Ledo Pizza has the best crust.

Re: Deep Dish or Thin Crust

I deliver pizzas part time after my real job and the thin crusts are frozen and shipped all over the country. So if you care about freshness then deep dish or regular is the only way to go

Sorry dude but most decent piza places do not use frozen crust and if that was the case why couldn't deep dish crust come frozen. I like both but 99% of the time its thin NY style. I actually do not know of a good place to get a deep dish pizza in our area. Anyone who want to recomend a place I live in Northern Suffolk Va.

Re: Deep Dish or Thin Crust

Blame Smoot for me bumping this, but NY style pizza is the best.. thin foldable crust

chicago style is more like an actual pie, doesn't count
