Now this is a real Pizza, Stop by Savastanos if you are in the Tulsa area
Looks more like tomato dumpling stew to me.
Not that there's anything wrong with that!

Giordano's Pizza (in Chicago) has the best *Chicago Style* pizza - AND they'll send some right to your house - Wherever you live
^^+^^ Lived in Chicago in the early 90's, no question Giordano's was #1. Around here, it's the original Buddy's in Detroit.
No pizza joints around here. Good thing I married an Italian. We cook our own home made pizzas on a pizza stone in the oven.

We just live in the next town over from Cherokee and I know what you are saying. Other than Paul's in Cherokee and the casino, we never eat at any of the local restaurants. We are pretty hard pressed in our town to find good restaurants. We have a pretty good Mexican and a pizza restaurant
We go to Asheville to find good restaurants.
+1 on Pauls. Asheville or Waynesville for us. Bit of a ride from Macon County.

Pizza Hut is good for shingling roofs. Put it out in the winter and makes great insulation. As for NY vs Chicago, that's easy: New York by a mile. Whoever heard of pie with the sauce on top?!

A local chain in the ST Louis area called Imos (e moe's) sets the standard for pizza IMOO. All other is just stuff you eat to fill a hole.
Thin crust with a cheese called Provel is fantastic. As far as I know Provel is found only in STL but I could be wrong.

Shingles? oh okay.
I use Pizza Hut as a laxative. When my kids wanted Pizza Hut I always told them ok but after that we go straight home, no mall hopping.

Growing up on Long Island I had favorite pizzerias from Smithtown to Ft. Hamilton in Brooklyn. Moving to South Carolina I thought my pizza loving days were over. Much to my surprise I found Tito's. He's a real pisan from Brooklyn. Uses Bari ovens, dough and cheeses just like thousands of N.Y. pizzerias. Excellent calzones, stromboli and on weekends has fresh cannolis. Just figured out what's for dinner tomorrow!
My favorite used to be Larry Dinolfo's in Dover, OH, when I could get there. Locally, I like Red's Savoy, Carbone's, and the Broadway. Domino's has been beneath consideration for decades, Pizza Hut for almost as long. There used to be a local chain called Shakey's that had a really good super-thin crust.
I would be remiss if I did not mention Beau Jo's, in Colorado's Front Range. The chain was founded by a cousin. He has his flagship store in Idaho Springs. It is really good pizza.

Broadway pizza was the best in town at the old Broadway bar in North Mpls; the recipe was started by a man named Spallaci (?) who later moved to 25 & Hennepin. It was still pretty good when it moved to the river road but has since been sold to an out of town group; I think the Robbinsdale store still uses the original recipe.
I grew up liking Mac's Minnetonka Pizza, Beeks, while attending the U of M it was Stefano's (a deep dish) but I prefer a thin crust.

Provel is a processed cheese product. A combo of cheddar, Swiss, and provolone. Also oils, salt, whey, and emulsifiers.
Like Velveeta. So it's not cheese, it's a cheese like product.
That doesn't mean it doesn't taste good.

Best pizza I ever had was at Shirley's New York Pizza.

I have eaten pizza from every pizza restaurant in Peoria Illinois and Washington Illinois with the exception one and my favorite is Pizza Hut.
I have never eaten Dominos Pizza but its on my bucket list.

And bucket would be something to have handy afterward...
How do you cook it when you get it home? Oven rack? Pizza Stone? Other?
Ha! Same latitude, over in St. Thomas in the USVI in Havensight (where the cruise ships dock) there used to be (maybe it's still there) a pizza joint owned by a guy from Queens. When I lived there it was my go to pizza place if I wasn't eating Lobster Pizza @ Iggies.
Also, in another "I can't freakin believe it moment" I was killing time one afternoon and drove up to Breckenridge Colorado from Denver. I was waiting for a friend to complete some business and I walked by an open air corner business with a familiar aroma. I looked in to see a little guy pulling the most perfect NY style pie out of the oven. "Give me two slices and a coke" came out of my mouth as quickly as if someone had auto-programed my speech. Turned out, the guy was from Sicily and he made the best, (outside of Brooklyn of course) pizza I've had.
These two example are why I don't believe the rumor that authentic tasting NY Style pizza is a product of the water. I think it's much deeper than that. I think NY pizza people have a code of silence, an omerta, and are sentenced to swim with the fishes if they give up the recipe after they cross the GWB. There can be no other explanation.

I couldn't hold it in any longer. Watching all you guys (and girls) whe aren't from the Northeast talk about pizza is like watching the Jamaican Bobsled Team - kinda cute and interesting but totally pointless. If you are anywhere to the West, Southwest, or South of Philadelphia - YOU HAVE NEVER HAD GOOD PIZZA.
You may fire when ready!

Pinky's ..............
San Rafael Calif. and Reno back in the 60's.
Big Ed's Special combo was my favorite.
Hit it after the Navy reserve meetings for a bite and a cold pitcher.
It later came to Reno in the 70's...........gone now.
Round table best a few years back but going down hill.......
Hard to find a place with both ...........
good crust and toppings that are at the top of the flavor/taste/aroma/freshness/texture that I like.
The Villa Roma burnt down the Two guys from Italy and Davo's shut down.
Reno does not have a "Little Italy" like SF.............
Looks like I might have to rolla my sleeves upa too !!

-Not sure if you're from the area or just have some family here. I lived in Dover for about 20 years, plus my Mom was from Dover. There are kind of two pizza camps for the area. One is Dinolfo's and one is Penso's. I'm in the Penso's camp. If you haven't heard, there is a restaurant down by Harry Clever Field in New Phila that makes Dinolfo's pizzas. And you can get the hot pepper mix on top like you could with Larry's. They also have his salad recipe down pat. It's called Magoo's if you haven't heard of it...

I'm from the Bronx originally. Trying to find NY style pizza in Vegas is like going to a LGS for a S&W revolver and finding a Taurus...

Fuzzies and Star Pizza are 2 good places here, but being cheap, I'll take my coupon to CiCi's and enjoy all you can eat salad and a custom made thin crust pizza (pepperoni, red onions, black olives, pineapple, canadian bacon and jalapenos) for $4.32 out the door.
