Drunken Argument Friday: Chicago Pizza Vs New York Pizza

April 10th, 2009 | 02:36 pm
 
If there's one thing we like to do more than drink, it's argue about really important stuff like which type of pizza is better. Here's what it sounds like when when we do both at the same time.
 
 
The Drunken Argument For New York Pizza
I don’t know what happened to the Italians that migrated from New York to Chicago, but apparently on the way there they forgot how to make fuggin pizza. One slice of deep dish pizza and suddenly I feel like asking someone to grab a coat hanger and follow me into a back alley. You get filled up with a bunch of dough, which is the cheapest part of a pizza. It’d be like paying for a hooker and having her spend 90% of her time giving you an HJ.
 
Pizza, much like a woman, shouldn’t be thick and sloppy, it should be thin and tight and listen when you talk to it, and not call its mother every god damned day just to check in – Pizza should be thin. Good New York pizza is crispy and light, and allows you to consume a shit pile of beer. If I wanted to eat something cheesy and doughy, I’d eat Jim Belushi.
 
 
The Drunken Argument For Chicago Deep Dish Pizza
What are you afraid of you little whiny bitch? Awww, too much food for you, huh? Here's you when you see some real-assed Chicago Deep Dish Pizza, "Oh no! I can't eat all that food! Give me some itty bitty baby pizza! Waaah! My vagina aches!" That's what you sound like. Why don't you sack up, sit down and eat like a man. This is America, asshole. Food is supposed to be big, round and full of fuggin' cheese. "New York pizza" costs a dollar and tastes like sweaty cardboard. Chicago pizza will make your heart cry.
 
And don't give me "New York pizza is real pizza." The pizza we eat was invented in America. The same place that invented the 50 pound cheeseburger and heart disease. What sounds more like a meal: A quarter inch of floppy, soggy "crust" sprinkled with a tablespoon of processed cheese or a crust piled higher than your last five shits swimming in two pounds or real cheese and a bucket of sauce. The only time I ever eat New York pizza is at three o'clock in the morning after eight hours of drinking or when I lost my job and got tired of eating newspaper.
 
Now it's your turn to chime in. Just follow these easy steps: 
 
Step 1: Drink 7 beers
Step 2: Vote (You can vote as often as you want. Just refresh the page to vote again or see the newest results)
Step 3: Type whatever stream of consciousness bullshit that comes into your head on this topic in the comment section.
Step 4: Continue being awesome

    Chicago pizza is like eating a greezy delivery box with the NY pizza within and a jar of Ragu spaghetti sauce on top. And to distract you from this there's a few shakes of imitation parm on top. It tastes good only because of the melted mootserella and butter and garlic salt infused bread bowl. So NY pizza is pizza (a round pie with enough toppings) and the Chicago edible bowl is not.

  2. Chitown Says:

    New York Pizza is a bland piece of fired chz on card borad..

  3. Kurt2 Says:

    I can just imagine the Italian "brain storming" required to come up with the Chicago style pizza.
    Mario: Hey, Luigi...Yous'a lika de lasangna.
    Luigi: Si. Is'a lika de pizza too.
    Mario: Hows'a bout we put thems together.
    Luigi: Si. Thats'a sound bellisimo.
    Mario: God damn Chicago. Theres'a Goombas everywhere here.

  4. Fro Says:

    Please, allow me to extend this topic. I have lived in Chicago for many years, and I definitely side with the NY pizza. However, this pales in comparison to a much larger issue...one that I have come to near punches over. This goes out to most of the midwest (at least Ohio and Illinois): STOP cutting my friggin' pizza into squares ya assholes! Round things are cut into triangular slices. Holy shit this drives me nuts. If I have to eat one more god damn square of pizza I'm going to punch someone. Every time it happens I feel like someone is trying to play a joke on me. Ever had a square of apple pie? Didn't think so. Ever sat in math class (assuming you square-cut-tards even went to school) and divided a circle into squares? No? Really? No shit. Ever seen a pie chart divided into squares? Hmmmm. You didn't because that would be asinine. Sicilian pie...sure...large squares or rectangles should be cut into smaller squares or rectangles. But pizza-pie...in the round form...slices assholes. To pour salt on the wound...every friggin' time I ask for my pizza to be "pie-cut" here in Chicago, they say "Ok" and then conveniently forget and cut that shit into useless squares.

  5. Colorado Mike Says:

    The pictures above say all that needs to be said in regard to this issue. Take a look at the NY pizza. Looks good, right? That might be the first piece you ordered, or it might be the third, but either way, that's not going to stand in the way of you finishing off a 12 pack of beer with your boys. Now look at the Chicago pie. Notice how there's only one piece missing? That's because you're full, and the photo was probably taken while you're in the bathroom trying to shit out the deep fried cheese brick you just ate. And if for some reason three pounds of cheese and a loaf of bread didn't make you shit yourself, I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun out at the bars later, wondering if every fart that sneaks out is going to bring some of his crappy friends to the pants party. NY style pizza in a landslide.

  6. Anonymous Says:

    looks like someone's load on the next piece of the bread bowl.

  7. EAO Says:

    The NY slice is hand held and minimal...so you dont have to make reservations to eat whilst bar hopping...and you wont eat so much that you'll need to pinch a loaf in a puke and piss covered toilet at the bar.

  8. BAH Says:

    What the fuck are you, some bulimic fucking pussy? Man up, and learn how to follow a good, filling meal with drinking. Another reason why your argument sucks: Chicago pizza filling you up=less money to have to spend on pizza

  9. TDizzle Says:

    The Chicago deep dish has more vulva-esque properties and would be my final choice to fornicate and/or sodomize.

  10. Anonymous Says:

    If no one will stand up for Chicago, I will. First things first, hey assholes, whining about pizza shits, the more cheese you eat the more stuffed you get. NY Pizza and diarrhea go hand in hand on many levels. Chicago pizza is just like eating three NY pizza's stacked on top of each other and made ten times more delicious. And eating more is the pinnacle of manliness. If your vagina won't allow you to drink any more Natty Ice and Bud Light after Chicago-style, maybe some estrogen injections on your shitty pizza will help out your appetite. Chicago style pwns.

    Oh, and the Yankees suck my balls.

  11. LOG Says:

    What if you dont want to haul around a huge block of crisco and marinara just so you have left overs? I want to wash down a slice, not a loaf of bread, with my Old Style. And, the pound of cheese is just a weakening dam blocking the potential energy of explosive grease shits because you rapidly ate massive amounts of butter and large chunks of polish sausage. That means you'll be in the shower washing shit off instead of being with your lady.

  12. Verus Says:

    It's true guys, Chicago deep dish is like a fat chick.
    Yeah it's fun sometimes, but really, you know you'd like that slim aerodynamic piece of pizza that's so tight you could wrap it up and stuff the whol sexy thing into your mouth at once. With deep dish you just don't have that option.
    I'm not saying deep dish tastes bad, pizza is pizza, but less is more, I'd rather eat 3 pizzas(theoretically) and bang three skinny chicks instead of making up for it with one big fat Chicago and a jenny craig hopeful.

  13. BIG E Says:

    NY wins by a mile when using this example!

  14. Flying Knee 2 The Noggin Says:

    Fro,

    You're a moron. If you almost came to blows over how a pizza should be cut then you really need to check into the nearest tard hatch & get evaluated ASAP.

    Now I live in Chicago & if you want a Flying Knee 2 The Noggin then reply to my post & we can set something up you panzy. Someone needs to kick your teeth in & I'd be happy to be the one to rearrange your face you pip squeek.

  15. Fro Says:

    Assclown,

    Flying Knee 2 The Noggin? What'd you do, text that on your Sidekick? No emoticon to follow? Is Flying Knee a proper title or name of a friend? While you're trying to figure that out, dig up your old math homework (probably in Chapter 1.43233333) and tell me how many 2" squares you can evenly fit into a 12" diameter circle. Go boy...go figure it out...go go go.

    I like NY pizza, but it pales in comparison to Chicago style.

    A lot of people are making the argument that Chicago style is bad for drinking because it fills you up.

    First off, you don't have to eat the whole pizza. That being said, if one slice of Chicago style fills you up, your stomach was probably already full of jizz. Don't blame the pizza.

    Second, why would you complain about having leftovers? After a night of drinking, there is no better hang-over food than a nice big slice of Chicago style peperoni pizza. When you reheat it in the oven, it gets a little crispy on the outside, and it becomes a giant block of greasy cheese. Anyone who doesn't like warm, greasy cheese is a fucking communist.

    Also, if you're basing your opinion of Chicago style pizza on some shitty chain near your suburban mall (BJ's Pizza comes to mind), forget it. I've lived in various places, and almost nothing outside of the city comes close. Hell, even in Chicago you have to hit up the right pizza joints to get the good stuff. It's hard to make. It's an art, where as NY style is more easily replicated.

    But if you find the good stuff, it can't be beat.

    Love them both, they are different animals. If I could only eat one for the rest of my life, I'd go NY. If I could only eat one as my last meal, Chicago style, hands down. For your everyday pizza you go NY, for a special, super awesome meal you go Chicago. It's pretty simple. People who hate one or the other are moronic, it's about knowing when and where.

    Also, NY pizza can be found alive and well all over the country, it's easier to make happen. But if you eat Chicago Style pizza outside of Chicago there is 9.9/10 chance you're eating shit.

  19. d0gma Says:

    NY pizza can NOT be found everywhere. I grew up in NY, I moved to Texas about 10 years ago, still have not found decent pizza. If you think that the bs that passes for "NY style pizza" is any good, then you've obviously never had real NY pizza. That's why they call it "NY style," it looks like NY pizza, but it sure as hell doesn't taste like it.

  20. mdogg Says:

    Lived in NY for 4 years, ate plenty of pizza. Lived in chicago for 5, ate plenty of pizza. Lived in LA for 6 and I've had good NY pizza here, but never anything close to good Chicago pizza.

    Now you live in Texas. I would not expect to find good versions of either there. My point is just that Chicago style is harder to make happen. Doesn't make it better or worse, it's just a fact. Hell, a couple places out here import water from NY to make their pizza, places owned by people from NY with thriving places still there.

    LA is a shitty pizza town in general, but you can find decent NY pizza, you can't find even passable Chicago pizza. I've had good, even great NY pizza outside of NY in many parts of the country, I've never had even decent Chicago pizza outside of Chicago.

  21. SadClown Says:

    I've gotta represent Chicago here. Not just out of local pride, but because New York Pizza is bullshit. Go eat some goddamn Tombstone pizzas if you can't handle "too much stuffing." Also, fuck folding pizza. If you're into that, why don't you go fold my laundry too, because you're now a bitch. Man up and eat the glorious pound and a half of cheese, sauce, and sausage in every slice of Chicago-style. And stop drinking shitty beer, too. Maybe that's why you're always sick.

    I eat chicago pizza stuffed with new york pizza
    I'm hardcore like that

  25. Greg Says:

    Well the Chicago style pizza compared to the New-York pizza is like a black dick compared to a asian one. lol

  26. Maxibaby Says:

    You have got to be shitting me. This is not even an argument. The Italian immigrants came to new york and stayed the fuck in new york. Ask any real italian and they will say that new york pizza is second best to how their grandmother made it in Napoli. Chicago pizza is a pie. Not a pizza pie, just a pie o' cheese and sauce. Cheese, sause and bread are together all the time in Italian cuisine but that don't make it fuckin pizza. Also the fundamental problem goes beyond just pizza. It really comes down to the fact that New York is just a way better, more original, and interesting fucking city. Chicago is just a cold piece of shit on a lake in the middle of nowhere. Fuck chicago, fuck the midwest. This country is made up of New York, LA, Florida for vacations and Boston for a drunk weekend. New York muthafuckers, if you can make it here you can make in anywhere......especially fucking Chicago.

  27. Says:

    Totally bro. Fuckin' shit yeah dude. Yeah. Fuck that shit. I'll stop. I don't want to make you late for your next glory hole appointment. Bring knee pads (or as Capt. Retard below would write, Knee Pads).

  28. Sickpigs Says:

    You probably live in fucking suburban Connecticut. No self respecting "New Yorker" would lump Boston into their description of cool towns.

    "if you can make it here you can make IN anywhere"

    Retard

  29. Anonymous Says:

    Dead on. No New Yorker in the history of ever would lump Boston in as an even tolerable place, and the opposite is true for Boston. My money says he's from Connecticut too.

  30. Anonyork Says:

    That diatribe was working well until you mentioned Boston.

    Fuck Boston...and not in a good way. Boston is gay!(Sorry gay people, didn't mean to insult you by associating Boston with you, but hey, its the truth.

    And no, diatribe is not a fucking baseball team.

    i like your style.

    Maybe he's from New Haven; for some stupid fucking reason, people from that city always claim to have the best pizza in the country. It boggles the mind.

  33. ditka Says:

    This is a terrible argument to make on here, seeing as 80% (EXACT NUMBER) of the people arguing against chicago pizza have never had chicago style pizza MADE IN CHICAGO. They probably like ketchup on hot dogs too, which is just a crime. I've made the mistake of trying chicago style from out of town and it kinda reminded me of nailin some chick with a somkin hot face, and seemingly good body, but once you get her clothes off, she's got burn scars covering the rest of her body, a loose, dry vagina, and a whole slew of STD's. Hell, half the reason anyone even goes to chicago is for food. It's pretty much the only thing done right there. Politics? Shady as fuck. Sports? Save for a few shining moments, historically bad. Weather? You like sub zero wind chills in the winter with a foot of snow, and heat waves that get body counts in the hundreds in the summer.

    I don't want to knock New York style pizza though, because pizza is such a fantastic food in any way. But when you truly want a blissful cornucopia of sense fucking awesomeness, there is simply no other choice than a boner inducing Chicago style deep dish pizza made in one of the city's many notable establishments.

  34. fingfangfoom Says:

    hm, i see youve met my ex-wife. she likes ketchup on her hotdogs, but i didnt know she moved to Chicago.

  35. Iron Man Says:

    Brats FTW

  36. Anonymous Says:

    Here's the problem, is that probably 80% of people on here haven't had either pizza in the supposed place they are inspired by. That's alright though. The rest of us get to eat it without the polluted water of the lakes or the river. Essentially, no matter if you like New York or Chicago style, as long as you don't eat it in that town, you are probably having a good pizza.

    Aww, Chicago pizza is to big for you whiny bitches? If you're full get some fucking friends to finish off the pie retards. New York pizza is to Chicago style as bologna is to steak. There comes a time in every man's life when he puts down the lunch meat and takes a bite of prime rib. When I order pizza I want a meal not a snack.
    New York pizza is only reserved for women because I don't want to see them get fat off Chicago deliciousness.

    Bozos from Chicago, pizza is 3 things (that's two higher than you most of you can count, use your fingers to figure it out)
    Cheese/Sauce/Crust.
    Granted chit-cago pizza has cheese and sauce, albeit cheap crappy midwestern versions. But deep-crap pizza has no crust, it's some kind of dried out dumb-ass midwest thick and stupid cake-like crud. It's flaky like the flakes who like it.
    STOOPID.
    Now a great NY pizza - that's a crust.
    Go crawl back into your caves, second city, it ain't pizza you're making, it's crappy cake. even obama hates it!
