That Chicago one looks fantastic. That's what pizza up here looks like, except the cheese on top is thicker.

I have to say, the New York style is my favorite. I like thin crust, little sauce, lots of cheese. And that's mostly New York!
I don't like thick pizza - too much of a mess (particularly the Chicago one).
This pain?
This pain is nothing.
I have survived far worse.
And I can endure much more than anything you could possible offer.
Sorry, just the snobby comments of a person used to only Italian pizza, but that Chicago one looks more like a tomato-y cuiche to me. Not like a pizza. So therefore, New York, if it has to be one.

Being a huge fan of cheese, I would straightforwardly go for the New York one!
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
I much prefer the New York style (thin) to the Chicago style.

Both have their place, but I'll go with New York as a general rule.
Best pizza I ever had was in Sweden: they took the crust and made it in the shape of a viking boat and filled it with steak and Bearnaise sauce, among other things. Amazing!
Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better, it's not.
But the Chicago one has substance! That New York one is thin, flat and greasy, nothing to it. After you have a slice of the first one, you're going to be pumped with energy and feel great. A slice of the second one? Pimples and a tummy ache.

Find your dream and stick with it...or your life will have slipped past in a whisper with you still on the bottom.
Oh please, when I was in Chicago two years ago I made an effort to check out the best pizzarias to compare. I've heard the trash talk from Chicagoans. Ptthhhh!Not even close. It's not even close. New York pizza kicks their a$$ over by a lot. Take it from a pizza connoisseur, New York pizza is by far superior: the dough, the sauce, the cheese, the texture. Hands down New York was superior.

Holy Crap Virg, We agree! New York style is Pizza, Chicago style is dough with a little sauce and some cheese.

Australian Pizzas are the best. I think the NY looks dead on its feet - dry cardboard. A pizza needs life - more like the Chicago pic - a single slice a meal unto itself!
this one looks good for a laugh! http://www.gobbledegeek.com.au/wp-co...aped_pizza.jpg

Anyone know what pizza is like in Europe? I heard that they don't do tomato sauce in France, they have a cream sauce.

New York has many types of pizza, not just the flat kind shown above. By the way, that's either called by a typical New Yorker a round slice or just a slice or if you are of Italian heritage, that's called a Neopolatan slice. And no, if it's done correctly, it tastes nothing like cardboard. The dough should be crisp on the bottom with an almost spongy layer on top. This is what it should look like:
Now some pizzarias may emphasize the cheese over the sauce, and others may emphasize the sauce and minimize the cheese. I prefer more sauce and less cheese, but most New Yorkers go the other way. Either way it should be steaming hot so that the oil can if you're not careful burn the roof of your mouth. If it's really hot, you hang the slice down to let the oil drip off.
The other major type of New York pizza is a square slice, or if you;re Italian, a Scicilian. The ingrediants are the same but they must let the dough rise more, and there's usually more sauce and mozzarella cheese. This is waht it looks like:
And of course you can put all sorts of toppings on it. I've seen everything.
Now there are also lots of small pizza restaurants that kind upgrade pizza to a higher level of cuisine. Here's a local pizza (from Staten Island) that has won several international contests.
Look here for video clips: http://www.goodfellas.com/best_pizza07/CBS_01.htm
They claim to be the best in the world, and i love going to them, but we have others here in NYC that I enjoy too. The point is that great pizza is all around in New York.
Finally I leave you with the openning from the movie Saturday Night Fever. Look at the 1:15 time in the clip and you'll see Tony (John Travolta) eating two slices at the same time. Very cool. That's my old neighborhood in Brooklyn that I grew up in.
