Quote HistoryQuoted: This a Pizza thread not greasy casserole thread. Quote HistoryQuoted: This a Pizza thread not greasy casserole thread. Quoted: Greasy casserole is not Pizza 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.

A deep dish pizza outside of its pizza pan look like this:   Your gram-gram's famous tuna-cheese casserole would be a sloppy mess all over the table if not contained within the casserole (dish).  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.  |

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.

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. |

"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. |

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. |
