I thought the comment about "cardboard crust" was particularly silly - all the good places in NYC (and there are thousands) make their own dough, and while the crust is not as thick as Buffalo or Chicago style, it is much thicker than the New Haven/lower New England style of pizza.
It is even sillier for a Chicagoan to say it, because there are plenty of places in Chicago that serve an ultrathin crust pizza - cut into squares because the crust is so thin and hard you can't fold it like a New York slice.
I have to agree with you.
Half the time I get thin crust pizzas because I like them. I have one favorite that I found about 15 years ago, while house sitting for friends. Its about 10 miles away and takes about 15 minutes to get home with it.
So yeah, my comment was pretty silly.
But then the comment I was responding to
"He’s in the right city for it. Pizza is a joke anywhere else in North America once you’ve had it there I have to admit. Good for him!"
is even sillier. To me it's typical NY attitude.
Might sound sacrilegious but Olive oil instead of tomato sauce, chopped/ diced tomatoes, Olives, Feta cheese. They slice it in squares with a knife that looks like a cross between an Ulu and a machete.
I am, and if weight is any indicator...And hugh also.
I usually don’t like chain pizzas, but Domino’s Hand made pan is very good!
Pizza Hut gave me the worse case of searing gas pains.
It does that to a lot of my friends. I have swore off the stuff.
