You can definitely trust a guy who has a "prosciutto di Parma" logo tattooed on his neck.

Wh is he calling out his grandma like that 😂

@NateBee 3 years ago

You can tell he really REALLY knows his Chicago Pizza. He picked some top tier spots.

I’m from New York and I really like the fact that the guy on the left mentioned that in New York we never call a slice of pizza a cheese slice. All pizza has cheese on it typically so we just call it a regular slice or a plain slice. Nice attention to detail.

Having said that, I’m not the guy that likes to put one city versus another. Chicago pizza has some of the best pizza in the world and I can’t compare it to New York because it’s too different.

I would eat a New York slice any day of the week and I would also eat a Chicago slice any day of the week just depends on my mood. People who wanna say one is better than the other based on the city alone is ignorant, but if you like one better than the other based on taste, then that’s a simple preference.

I really like this video, you guys did a great job.

This was a gem Adam. Totally fun and,educational for pizza beginners as well.

As a Sicilian American from the Bronx, I've been eating excellent pizza since I was a kid. I love all the regional variations. Respect to New Haven, Boston, Detroit and Chicago. It's all good. Best pizza I've ever had? Paestum, near Salerno. Amazing buffala mozzarella, fresh tomatoes from the garden.

This video is pure gold, I learned so much about pizza styles that I never knew about! 🔥🔥

I used to live in Racine, Wisconsin and my dad would commute to Chicago for work. This was back in the '80s. He worked at a place called Bino's and they made a deep dish pizza with spinach in the sauce that was just killer. I still remember that taste.

Comparing NY thin vs Chicago deep dish is like Sunday roast vs thanksgiving turkey

Leo besides holding God level knowledge of pizza is a nice guy. Specialists can sometimes come across as arrogant but Leo is very relaxed. Really enjoyed this video, well done.

Thank you for bringing in Leo, he is sooo knowledgeable. He is a master Pizzaiola; his knowledge of crust is second to none. If you own a pizzeria, bring him in to consult and you will have the best pizza around.

I've never seen such a thin Malnati's deep dish. It must have gotten cold in the filming. They are usually thick, stretchy, cheesy, and moist. I've been in love with Malnati's since the mid-70's.

@briankerbs 3 years ago

When it comes to pizza, it's all subjective... Not Chicago vs New York, New York vs CT, and ect.. The true fact is.... "If anyone is hungry, and any sort of pizza is put in front of them, they will eat it, and still love it no matter what...

@DemFour 2 years ago

As a native NYer, I love me some Chicago deep dish. It’s damn good. Comparing NY’s speciality, thin slice, and Chicago’s specialty, deep dish, is unfair. They’re totally different beasts, and are amazing for what they are.

I grew up on NY style pizza but once I tried Detroit I had to make room at the top. Love it. That crispy crust is so good.

@carmengalliano415 3 years ago

Growing up in Havana before the revolution it was Deep Dish Pizza. YUM

Bro that Shirt is Fuckin Fire 🔥 and 99 percent of pizza In Chicago da city came with RC in 3 ways either cans or 1-2 liter when RC was as good as Coke imo . My uncle worked at RC on 31st off Kedzie Ave for 35 years 😊

@troyv8302 2 years ago

To me, the best pizza is the regular Chicago thin crust. Liked that he even mentioned the Chicago Special with the sausage, onion, green pepper and mushroom. That's the gold standard for me. Second favorite is the Detroit style. I love that puffy crust, good stuff. I've been to NY and tried a few of the big names (John's on Bleeker was one of them) and I really left unimpressed. Maybe it's where you grow up that makes your tastes, but I wouldn't travel for it. Good stuff!

My grandma makes fresh deep dish pizza it is the only pizza I ever said I could not complain about also deep dish like most foods is best fresh and steaming hot cheese melts off the pizza thanks for coming to my Ted talk 8:52
