pizza: I know that Chicago-style pizza is deep dish and New York-style pizza has a thin crust, but we have thin crust pizza places here in the mid-Atlantic area, but people from NYC say it isn't New York-style pizza. So what makes it different? Is it the type of crust, the toppings, the sauce or something else?|||once you eat newyork style pizza you will know what the difference is. For one new york style pizza is much larger in size. one slize of new york pizza is like 3 regular slices. it has a thinner crust and it just all out taste better.|||I believe a true N.Y. pizza is a thin crust, with simple toppings. A Chicago style is were the bread is basically a bowl and it is loaded with sauce and toppings. Both are good.|||ny people are just picky :) my mom's from ny so she is picky like that too.. personally i loooove new york pizza oh and the sausage is different.. weird huh? lol|||Poop and pee.
