Is New York serious with this “chopped cheese” bullshit?
- Thread starter zoggy

OP is mad as hell. Where can you go and order an item called a "chopped up burger"
...you are seriously arguing that one of the most diverse cities in the world doesnt have an authentic version of one of the most popular dishes in the world?
Lmao
So, question from a European here: When people say that New York Pizza is the best Pizza in the world, are they actually serious?
Because Italy exists, I'm just saying...

Totally different kinds of pizza. Italian-American vs. (probably) Neapolitan. Both are very good, depends on what you prefer. I don't think anything is better than a NY slice.
Whatever the fuck they like to call pizza in Chicago is garbage.
Ok, now I really need to know what NY Pizza looks like, because I have never been to New York so I really don't know. Does anyone really know the difference?
If you have Netflix, I highly recommend checking out the episode about pizza of the show "Ugly Delicious". It's the first episode.
NY-style:
Pizza di Napoli:
Both delicious in their own ways.

Refer to this post and look at the pizzas these places offer for all your questions on true NY pizza and what it has to offer.
Reporting for straight up ignorance.
For real though, let me break this down for you newbies to NYC Pizza.
Best Value and Quality: Literally any Dollar Slice.
Best Traditional Slice (w/toppings): Joe's
Best Boogie Slice: Artichoke
Best Pure Pizza Experience (no slices, cash only, Final Destination): Lombardi's
I'm hungry as he'll right now.
Fuck this thread and fuck your chopped cheese I can't buy across the Atlantic.
Someone FedEx me a damn chopped cheese.

Ok, the first thing I noticed was: New York Pizza looks kinda disgusting. But the taste of food has always been more important to me than the looks, so I read some articles about it.
The big differences seem to be:
*The dough is made with different flour, as Neapolitan pizza always uses 00 flour, while NY dough is made with higher gluten flour and also adds some ingredients, which in turn also makes the pizza sturdier.
*Traditional Neapolitan Pizza is cooked in a wood fire oven.
That seems to be it for the most part, which also explains the folding some people here mentioned. I guess it would be pretty impossible to go to a Neapolitan Restaurant, get some pizza and just fold it up with ease.

A chopped cheese is my goto hungover lunch when in NY. Egg sandwich from the nearest bodega is breakfast.
Anyone who's afraid of getting their fingers a little greasy eating pizza is no pizza lover. Then again, you came from the place that gave the country Little Caesar's so ya suspect!

These delis named a sandwich and it grew in popularity until it became a part of their local culture??? Wow what's this world coming to

I've only talked to a few people from NYC but each one acted like humanity began there.
I went to school in upstate NY and everyone was about the "pizza burger sub" or you could get them "suicide" style which added in extra garlic, pepperoni, and a sausage in the middle.
They look a mess but great drunk food

Don't worry, I suspect in a few years there will be some yuppie upscale joint that sells artisanal chopped cheese for like $20 and then suddenly everyone will looked down upon chopped cheese will act like it's amazing and shit.
Why is the chopped cheese bringing out the crazies??
Dunno why but 'suicide style' is a hilarious name for those pretty vanilla additions.I went to school in upstate NY and everyone was about the "pizza burger sub" or you could get them "suicide" style which added in extra garlic, pepperoni, and a sausage in the middle.

Yup, you know places have to be extra with the superfluous ordering jargon, lol. You can also get those things GG which is Grease (extra burger meat) and Garden (lettuce and tomato)...mindblowing!
Never had a better pizza in New York. Living there for a year, the whole "World's Best Pizza" is oversaturated to the point where it would hinder any experience.
Please. A chopped cheese is literally a philly cheese steak with ground beef and sliced kraft cheese instead of cheese whiz. NYers getting all up on their chests for reinventing the wheel.
Yeah those pictures ain't great, here's a tavern style one from the joint I was talking about (Flo and Santos)
This should be classified as hardcore porn.
If you were a food snob you'd have tried several already and found the best one. Sounds more picky than snobby.
