NY style, without a doubt.

It's not easy to find good NY style around here, but there's this one spot in La Canada that just fucking nails it ... my mouth is fucking watering just thinking about it. Garage Pizza in Hollywood is another good spot.
 
From what I gather, Detroit pizza is some weird cousin of Chicago Deep Dish?

You live in Boston? Have you ever gone to Regina's?

You mean the chain of mediocre food-court pizzerias?

My favorite pizza place in Boston is T. Anthony's, but it serves New York styled pizza. Jeremy's been there, but he and his stupid ex and my stupid ex all conspired to order a Hawaiian so he can't really speak to their quality.
 
The stuff that's in my mouth. I love all pizza.

Agreed. I do not normally like thick crust pizza, but I like the pan pizza's from pizza hut still and eat there once in awile. I eat frozen tombstone,red barohn. I get pizza slices at random mobile stations. I don't care. Aslong as it is cheesy hot and fresh.
 
I'm not sure if it has food court locations, but Regina's in the North End (the original location, opened in 1926) is NOT fucking mediocre.

Okay, cause there's a chain called Pizzeria Regina that's comparable in price and quality (though not style) to something like Unos.

There's definitely excellent pizza in Boston. I simply question the existence of a distinctive Boston style. I'll have to give Regina's a shot.
 
I think they opened other locations, and I have heard mixed opinions about their quality. The one in the North End was right across the street from our apartment; the wife and I used to go over for late night slices, and they were fucking awesome.

I have no idea if it's a distinctive "Boston style." I'm just saying that the best pizza I've ever had is in Boston.
 
Almost all of these are good, or at least capable of being good. (Though St. Louis sounds rather shitty compared to the rest.) California is more of a genre of toppings rather than a method of preparing a pizza it seems. I don't think it's any more of its own thing than Hawaiian pizza.

I voted Chicago thin. Deep dish loses points for me for reasons of convenience. It takes much longer to bake, it's expensive, and it's not as easily consumed in party settings. Party cut > pie cut. I don't know why people romanticize folding in half a messy slab of grease and burnt cheese. Give me a paper plate and a pile of squares from a party cut any time. Plus, those who want crusts go for the edges, those who don't can take the middle. Everyone wins. I do not have the degree of love for deep dish as most locals. Lou Malnati's rules, but I'm not a huge fan of the other local chains.

NY is not as amenable to a buttload of toppings like either Chicago style is. It doesn't work to load up on sausage, mushroom, onion, and green pepper on a thin crust. Sicilian just sounds like a worse version of deep dish and Detroit, which I don't think is available by me, though some deep dishes sound pretty close.

Now, my trolly opinion: NY pizza is kids food. It's on par with hog dogs, chicken fingers, macaroni & cheese, and PB&J. It's pop music. It's easy. It's comfort food and no one should ever get high and mighty about it, John Stewart.

Edit: Image of Chicago thin. Note that toppings are under cheese to preserve the crispness of veggies and allow for more even browning of cheese without damp spots. Crust should be crisp enough to snap in on the bottom, but thick enough to be chewy.

Proper Italian style with thin-but-not-too-thin chewy (not doughy) base, good sauce and QUALITY meats, veggies & cheeses kept minimal and spread evenly. I don't know where that fits into your gay USA categories.
 
That's pretty much New York, I think. Which makes sense - New York is the original American pizza style.

Also, party cut? Are you a fucking child?
 
If I ever see you try to apply a party cut to a pizza worthy of the name I will slap the cock right out of your mouth.
