What a dumb idea. While the New Haven “a-beetz” is a good pizza, the reference standards are the Neopolitan and New York styles, from New York City.
Yes, it depends what people are comparing.
People in Chicago enjoy their deep dish pizza. Is deep dish directly comparable to the New Haven pizza? Are each tasty in their own way?
Maybe these discussions come down to what people are used to, or what they grew up with.
Never had any better than Bronx. And I live in Texas.
