Considering tomatoes aren’t even from Europe the Italians can think whatever they want about pizza, they’re not experts, they’re just as wrong as everyone else.
Yeah I’ll die on the Dayton style pizza hill. But seriously most people who come from somewhere with its own style of pizza love that style. For a non hometown favorite Chicago bar style (not deep dish) is excellent.
I’m a New Yorker and used to date a person from Chicago. We saw eye-to-eye on many things, but we had to be okay with the fact that this debate was not among them.
It’s fucking soup with cheese that’s so covered in sauce it will never reach any level of golden brown delicious, nor even be able to dream of it. It’s such a US thing to think that more is better while annihilating all the nuance that makes the thing actually good in the first place.
A deep crust is fine, just put more in it and put that cheese on top where it can really shine. Fill that bad bitch with all kinds of great stuff. Use more than the most basic, one-note pizza sauce.
I was so hyped for deep-dish and it let me down so fucking hard.
It’s not about being right, it’s about making something that tastes good. Besides that, there are also well established cultural traditions. But as long as people call their garbage pizzas “NY pizza”, or whatever and it’s well distinguished by “Italian pizza” (or Neapolitan, etc.), I don’t see the problem.

A plain slice in NY, maybe with some red pepper flakes and parmigiana. Fuckin bliss.
NY style pizza also isn’t anything particularly amazing. New Yorkers are just louder about it, like with everything they do.

…Red pepper flakes?
I’m literally shaking right now
…Shaking more red pepper flakes onto your dollar slice?
Can’t pass up free condiments amirite?
For those peasants who’ve never heard of olio peperoncino
Are you a purist that says ketchup doesn’t belong on hot dogs too?
Hot dogs should only have mustard and diced onions on them.
Maybe sauerkraut if it’s a special occasion.
Diced onions are for amateurs. Pyramided onions are where it’s at.
NY pizza fucking sucks. You want real pizza, go to Chicago. Everyone knows deep dish is where it’s at.
Yeah I said it. Fight me.

I don’t normally disagree with John Stewart, but for this I’ll make an exception.

Lasagna is everything deep dish wishes it was.
Amen brother.
I don’t think you can eat deep dish pizza with one hand while riding the subway quite so easily.
And
pastanoodles are from chinaAsian noodles and italian pasta evolved independently. It’s a myth that Marco Polo brought the recipe home.
