Finding the Best Chicago Pizza in Chicago: Go to Pequod's.

Probably get downvoted for this, but as a longtime resident of Chicago who literally lives on the same block as Giordano's, why anyone would look for Chicago-style pizza anywhere, including Chicago, is beyond me.

As good as San Francisco's baking culture is, surely there's NY-style (real! :)) pizza to be had?

NY isn't real either.

The best pizza I've ever had was at pizzeria bianco in Phoenix. The dude went to Naples Italy for a few years to learn to make pizza. Homeboy doesn't even use a mixer for the dough, he does it with his hands.

Totally worth the 2-3 hour wait to get in.

Great Lakes has a lot of hype but I like Spacca Napoli personally.

As a self-titled pizza connoisseur you really can't compare different types of pizzas with one another. i think this article showed us a pretty good taste test. i've tried both zachary's and little star in the area (though i live in la). i'll have to give patxi's a try. i've also been to chicago and tried lou's, uno's and gino's. Lou's is my favorite.

I love all pizza though, the italian styles from naples to sicilian to the U.S. branches from wood fired california style to thin crust new york to chicago deep dish. they all have a fair place in my book and i have a favorite for each category but to compare one against another is a little awkward.

awesome read!
