How'd you make that menu? Is it an extension?

But pizza in Chicago ain't real pizza. It's more like a casserole. If you want real pizza, head to New York City.

You say tomato, I say tomahto. You say potato, I say potato-e.

Both of 'em (Chicago and New York pizza, to be precise) are kind of "meh". Too thin or too thick...

The last time I had pizza in Chicago, the my friend ordered it and he got the meat special. It had something like 5 kinds of meat in it. It was very thick and tasted good, but I'm really glad I stayed in my hotel room that night because my stomach didn't like it too much. :(

Pizza hut near my house is almost good, but strange thing is, they don't deliver to my town. We're literally 10 blocks from the shop, and they don't deliver to us. Blah. It's better to get it from the AUTHENTIC Italian Pizza place up the street. MMMMMMM! :D

Exactly. Pizza Hut, like McDonalds, trades on name recognition and being absolutely everywhere. They don't have to be good, they don't even try. When is the last time you ever heard Pizza Hut talk about improving their ingredients or making tastier pizza? Never, all they ever promote is their newest pizza gimmick, typically they found a new place to stick cheese-goo or sauce-goo, or a "new" shape to put pizza in. They've got a franchise in every city and town, and a gigantic advertising budget to make sure you don't forget them (no matter how hard you try).

I remember, about 20 years ago, growing up in Rural Kentucky, in a small town of about 2,000 and thinking we were becoming a big and fancy place when we got our McDonalds and Pizza Hut with the Wal-Mart on the way. Of course, we didn't have Pizza places, just little greasy-spoon diners and dairy-freezes, so Pizza Hut was kinda exotic, and it was Pizza you didn't have to make yourself at home (that never came out right) or that horrible "pizza" served with school lunches.

20 years later and much wiser, I've learned to never, ever order from Pizza Hut, and to avoid ordering from Chain Pizzarias if possible (although Donato's and Papa John's aren't too bad), and always eat locally.

If you're ever in Lexington, KY and want a good pizza, go to Joe Bologna's, they make some truly magnificent pizza (and just about everything else Italian)

There's nothing precise about your statement whatsoever. There is no such thing as "Chicago style" or "New York style" pizza. There are literally hundreds of variations and styles of pizza served both here and in New York. The only places that advertise as having "Chicago style" pizza are either elsewhere in in the country, and a very, very few places in the city of Chicago who want to attact tourists. It's a myth. You've beened duped.
