I don't know about a particular state, but I can say the Greeks cook the best pizzas around here.

Go to a Brooklyn Square place in NJ and you’ll taste what pizza is supposed to be.

Why do people think what state you are in has a single fucking thing to do with how good or bad pizza - or any food for that matter - is. What a stupid notion.

Quoted: LOL... It is almost as if people don't actually know what a casserole is, but heard someone else say deep dish is a casserole, so they say repeat it. Sad. As a midwestern guy, here are a couple of key pointers to help you out (while ignoring the obvious combining and/or binding ingredients for most casseroles). 1. "Casseroles" (in the way being used) are usually (not always, but usually) cooked in a glass/ceramic "casserole dish". Some folks do use Dutch Ovens, but that is a different story and then we get into MN Hot Dishes and stuff. Deep dish pizza is never baked in a glass dish, that is key because the name "Casserole" isn't the meal, it is actually the name of the baking dish itself. 2. "Casseroles" usually do not have bottom and side crusts, and CANNOT ALWAYS SUPPORT THEMSELVES. A deep dish pizza outside of its pizza pan look like this: https://www.foodnetwork.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2019/2/19/0/KC2004_Deep-Dish-Pizza_s4x3.jpg https://res.cloudinary.com/hksqkdlah/image/upload/SFS_chicago_deep_dish_pizza-16_cehf9d.jpg Your gram-gram's famous tuna-cheese casserole would be a sloppy mess all over the table if not contained within the casserole (dish). https://images-gmi-pmc.edge-generalmills.com/91f3ed81-39a5-48e3-933b-b89b437b1657.jpg Hence, casseroles are served within the casserole (dish), deep dish pizza (which is not baked in a casserole) can be served in our out of the pan, depending on where you are getting it from. If it is take-out/delivery, it is obviously not coming with the pan. If you are eating in, it could go either way depending on the location. You are welcome. View Quote |

I had my first pizza in 1956 at Rudi's Italian Restaurant in Los Angeles. I don't remember what it tasted like, but it convinced me that pizza was the greatest food in the world. So, I'll say California.

Quoted: I don't know about a particular state, but I can say the Greeks cook the best pizzas around here. View Quote Nearly every pizza place in Mass and NH is owned by Greeks. I knew a Greek family that sold theirs, and the sauce recipe was part of the sale so that customers could keep getting the same tasting pizza from the new owners. |

Quoted: I don't know about a particular state, but I can say the Greeks cook the best pizzas around here. View Quote Yeah, not sure about what state, but I’m sure it has zero correlation to what percentage of that state’s demographic are of Italian decent. Heck, ‘round here both Greeks and Lebanese make better ‘Italian-style’ pizzas, whether thin-crust or thick, than the most popular Italian joint. |

I mentioned pizza was my favorite food on Art Linkletter's in 1957, so I was about 5-6 when I had my first pizza. |

Sorry Maine but…
Maine in general had about the worst pizza places I ever ate at. The sauce was like tomato purée. The cheese was like sams club bulk bag shredded cheese. |

View Quote It is a warm, gooey, delicious future heart attack on a cold day by the lake. The crust should be buttery and flakey, not greasy...mmm. Some places have more of really blended marinara, some more chunky. I might have to get some deep dish soon, in honor of this thread. |

The answer is NY and always has been NY and anyone who thinks or states otherwise is just being silly.
People who call deep deep dish pizza need to be keelhauled against the tied under an old barnacle covered wooden boat. |

Chicago deep dish pizza baby!
Malnatis with slab sausage is hard to beat. I tried NY style but there's just no flavor. I even folded that shit multiple times, still nothing. I should of just saved my money and ate a saltine cracker instead. It probably would of had more flavor lol |

Quoted: I'm going with NJ (1). Then, NY (2) - but only because there are so many pizza places. The state that boxes way out of it's weight is CT (3). That is, some great pizza places in a small area. Mostly around New Haven. View Quote CT is the 6th burrow of NYC, doesn't count. And it sure as shit isn't NYC. I've been to TX and Chicago once each and had Pizza better than I've ever had in NYC, much less NYS (my aunt and uncle live in NYC so I go down sometimes to visit). |

"New Haven pizza" sucks baboon ass.
CT is excellent for the small-town pizza joint. Consistently seemed to be Greek-owned, pan pizzas with thin crusts, at least in the middle of the state, not to sure about the RI border. But people associate CT pizza with New Haven pizza, and that shit is a goddamn joke. The correct answer is New York for the best pizza. My favorite is Artichoke Pizza in Greenwich Village. I think it's on Macdougal. It could be that I'm consistently buzzed by the time I get there, but that shit is delicious. |

You'll find more superb pizza places in NJ than anywhere else. The density of them is why they win.
It's almost a challenge to find really shitty pizza unless it's a franchise or outright fake italian food like sbarro. It's because Italian-American people actually live there. Lots and lots of them. And they don't accept shitty pizza. Where you have no actual Italians, you wind up with the regional abominations we've all seen here. |

I think the main difference between Chicago (tavern) pizza and St Louis pizza is yeast in the dough. Both are square cut. Maybe that is a midwest thing?

Many a pizza thread ago.... someone in Kansas said that a Chicago-area chain called Rosatis had just opened in their area and that it was the best pizza ever.
Rosatis is the shittiest pizza of all the originated in Chicago chains. Chicago's worst pizza is the best Pizza in Kansas. That is how shitty your pizza is outside of Chicago and NY. Most of my friends have moved out of Illinois. They usually come to visit around Christmas time, and they all want to eat pizza, and they usually take a few home with them when they leave. It is the only thing they miss. |

The problem with NY pizza is it has no flavor. They tell you to fold the shit up but there's still no flavor. I mean who wants to eat multiple stacks of cardboard?
