Think Napolinos is a cut above Piesanos but do agree pizza should be eaten right out of the oven.

I know of several on my street...

But I don't go around counting...

Right... When I think Creole of Cajun, I think "Massachusetts/Boston"...

I'm from the DC area. I've been to "Little Italy" in B'more and Philly, Chinatown in DC. Excellent food.

Some of the best Chinese food I've ever had was in Northern VA... They have a HUGE Asian population.

All "Mid-Atlantic" states...

Is Chicago not "ethically diverse"? How many in TV are from the greater Chicago area?

So spare me the "Only the New England states have the ethnic diversity need for good food...

O'Shucks has a bar...

Well, a Reuben has Swiss cheese and all "Jewish Style" (not Kosher) delis serve them, so...

But "raw red onion"??? What in the holy hell??? It's sauerkraut or nothing!

And she dares talk about "good food"...

Agreed. Piesano's thin crust is damn good...

Eat in or carry out? I've never had a soggy slice there, ever...

Chicago?

What do you know? Don't you know that the "North End" of Boston is the only place where they know good food? :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:


P.S. I've had some INCREDIBLE meals in Chicago...

you must not have ordered the thin crust? The regular is doughy but not the thin crust - it's perfect.

Agreed! Especially the thin crust version!

I can't speak to No. Boston but we've visited Chicago restaurants many times and never had a bad meal. They were high-end restaurants that had signature dishes. There are plenty of "ethnic" places there for sure. On another note...there is a meme on FB that goes something like this...."don't bring your 'there' here when you felt your 'there' was better than 'here'." I can't remember exactly how it goes but it's along those lines. We had that in our former town as well and people didn't take to it as it's so rude and beyond snobby.

I would disagree with the disagreement, but I am glad that it worked for you. That would be a massive thread subject (diets). Maybe someone will start that someday. Thousands of books have probably been written on that subject.

Yeah, we can't argue about diet. After all, this is a Boston vs. Chicago Pizza thread. Wait what? :D.

Our favorite pizza's down here are from Gio's. They'll make them thin for you, or you can get their grandma's pizza, both by the slice or whole pie. I bring our friday golf group there the first Friday of the month and the entire group looks forward to it. We're from Dartmouth, Ma. and while I prefer the food from home and especially Federal Hill in Providence, if you keep an open mind you'll be able to find some decent spots in the area. As far as subs go ('grinders' back home), every Saturday I would order several hundred dollars of them from 2 different shops in Fall River, Marzilli's and Marcucci's, and they would compete as the best in the area. Here's a picture of someone who might recognize ordering 4 grinders at Marzilli's. It's in the middle of the city, so he probably knew about it. By the way, I like the cold subs at Publix when I can get them with balsamic and oil. You might like Mesa de Notte in Ocala.

All 3 times in the restaurant. I even told them the last time to please cook it longer. And it was the thin crust. Nope. Never again. Not wasting any more of my money there.
