Stop this pizza violence!
I love both Chicago and NY style of pizza. They're both fantastic.
A note for all:

If the border was open, they could also try Windsor-style pizza. It's a thing (and it's amazing).
This is possibly the worst statement in this entire thread, and that's saying something.
I need to get this out there. Pizza that isn't made by my own hands isn't pizza worth eating. I'm sure this is a me issue, but my evidence is based purely on my own subjective tastes.
Evidence
Sourdough base Detroit/Sicilian style with San Marzano tomatoes reduced with a simple dehydrated crimini mushroom (extra umami) and pepperoni. I make my own pepperoni as well, trying to perfect cupping pepperoni. Mean veggie is a garlic based sauce pizza with long red hawt chilies and jalapeños. My cheese blend is a mix of cheddar, whole milk mozzarella, and jack.

As a michigander i've never heard of this and am intrigued... guess once covid goes away i'll try this.
Oh and all pizza types are good. (just not from some certain chains... )
That "Chicago" pizza doesn't even look like a Chicago pizza. It's closer to what's Wisconsin or Minnesotan style. That sure isn't St. Louis style because that's typically way flatter than what's in the picture.
Like it looks way closer to Red's Savoy here in MN
Just a cracker thin crust, party cut, overflowing with toppings and well done extra crisp. I guess it's really just a "Midwestern" style pizza at this point.
That first picture looks about as boring as you could get with a pizza.

Opened the thread to ctrl-F Pequod's, and adding in two more Pequod's for the next person who does the same lol
Deep dish is what tourists know Chicago for. If you live in Chicago and someone wants to order pizza, its thin crust and cut into squares.
Chicago has multiple pizza styles. Deep dish is just more famous with tourists (probably because it's so different to most pizzas)
Let me tell you people that I know good fucking pizza. I like NYC pizza a lot. And Chicago. I'm from Houston. Had pizza in Atlanta. Also pizza in Venice, Florence, and Rome. And various European countries. And China! I really like trying pizza in all kinds of places.
I just moved to Seattle and I just want to give it a shout out. It's a lovely pizza town! I've had different styles of pizza from 5 different pizza restaurants and sincerely enjoyed it at each. I never thought of Seattle as being a place with good pizza but it does! Of course it's not NYC or Chicago but it's surprisingly good!
Also I'm sorry but NYC pizza is my personal best :o

Double dough is the best. It's basically standard here in Buffalo and I'll take it over thin crust any day.
As for Chicago, Detroit does deep dish way better.

But why does Pequod's burn their crust? Don't even tell me it's "caramelised".
Man, some of y'all. I always rep NY and love our pizza, but y'all disrespecting amazing deep dish pizza, as if Pequod's doesn't exist.
smh.
smh.
Last year I traveled to NYC and ate my first pizza there in some fancy ass place that cost me more than $30 for the entire thing.
Then I tried some $1 places near my hostel and figured out it's just fucking pizza and it's all delicious, no point spending that much money.
IIRC 2 bros pizza was my favorite, they had amazing slices and also relatively cheap.
(Haven't been to Chicago so can't compare though)

Ayeee 2Bros is what's up. They're the go-to dollar pizza chain in mid town manhattan.
They're really hit or miss based on which location you stop by (and even by time of day). Sometimes they will give you an amazing slice, and sometimes its a hot mess.
If you're comfortable enough, and you can see that you're about to get an burnt/undercooked slice, you can def just ask for a different slice.
It's like how Chicago is known for The Loop and the big ass bean ... it's there for tourist but people who live there know a whole different Chicago.
Party cut is the staple. I've never been to the place the op went but I'd say they shoulda tried the best if the difference was that small. Lou Malnati ...
LM is the best deep dish pizza you can get in Chicago if you think the suburbs = Chicago though.

So true. And I'm even counting Pan version of Pizza Hawaii.All pizza is good pizza.
Came in here to say this lol
As a Chicagoan living in Texas, it is pretty funny when I have a pizza discussion with a buddy and their automatic go-to argument is about stuffed pizza.
Most mom and pop pizzerias you see in every corner of Chicago sell thin pizza, cut in squares. But not paper thin like that new york garbage, it needs to at least stay in tact when i pick up a slice lol
Deep Dish Pizza is interesting because the only time Chicagoans ever order it is when people from out of town come in and want to try deep dish pizza. There's like 1,000 pizza places here anyways that do everything excellent (NY style, New Haven style, Detroit style, Grandma, Stuffed Pizza, Wood Fire, Calzones, etc.), but actual "Chicago" style pizza is tavern style. I just think that OP messed up by going to Pat's. Should've gone to Vito & Nick's. (Pat's is still legit though)
Yep. Leaves both New York and Chicago in the dust. Everyone owes it to themselves to visit Frank Pepe's and Sally's.
It's a thing. And it's so good.
Here's some reading, and here's some more.
Personal favourites include Armando's and Cheese Wheelz, but there's Capri, Riviera, Vito's, Windsor Pizza, and many others. All local chains, some with a dozen or more locations in Windsor and the surrounding county.
