Chicago pizza is great if you like a lot of useless dough filling yer gut. I will take a cracker thin crust pie from Miller’s Tavern in Annandale, NJ any day.

Those aren’t pizzas, they are casseroles. Big difference.

If you define pizza as the original Neapolitan article, none of Chicago's three main dishes referred to as "pizza" qualify.

Of those three (stuffed, deep dish and thin crust), "stuffed pizza" is definitely the best and the most distinctive in terms of taste and quality, but it isn't really a pizza.

New York has a lot of actual pizza, and a certain percentage of it is well-made authentic pizza.

When Chicago was just getting around to having pizza widely available in the late 40s, the NY-NJ-CT tri-state area was already on its second generation (e.g. Modern Apizza in New Haven, CT was founded in 1938, Pepe's and Sally's, much earlier.)

The nation's pizza is not novelty pizza (stuffed). I speak as someone who worked as a cook at Edwardo's (second tier). The customer's did not want pizza, they wanted a convenient way to serve their cheese and spinach goop.

The stuffed pizza is a feminist pizza, inverting the natural order with the sauce on top of the cheese, and separated by an extra layer of crust.

Pizza IMO is about the only good thing about Chicago.

For those of us who are fortunate enough to live OUTSIDE Chicago, specially out here on the Southwest Side, we all know that Beggars Pizza is KING!!!
