Pan pizza in Chicago is good for a change once in awhile, but is mostly a tourist thing. The real Chicago style pizza is cracker thin crust, cut into squares, with flavorful blobs of seasoned Italian sausage and not too much cheese….well done to produce golden brown bubbles on top and crispy edges.

Guidos in Spring Hill, and Paul’s Chicago Pizza in St. Pete and Clearwater do it right. The Great Chicago Fire Brewery in Leesburg is closer, and will do in a pinch. GCF Brewery has fantastic Italian beefs, gyros, and of course craft beer.
On the surface, sounds good.

Of course, when the day is done, it is still Chicago pizza (cheap imitation of the real thing)

But when I feel like eating a quiche, I'll head there

Better get Sherlock Homes in to find which is the real one.

Truth of the matter is any of them will beat the best the Villages has to offer

I am not going to recommend any place, because I don't won't my two favorite places to get any busier.

Who said, "Real men don't eat quiche"? Can you answer that without google?

You've got to go up to New York (the city) and get slices for the Best. The pizza in the upper East Coast, (N.Y., N.J., Conn. , RI, and Mass) to get Good pizza -OR- head up to Chicago for the Deep Dish. The only other option would be to take the long trip to Naples (Italy) for napilitano or Sicily for sicilian style.

I learned pizza is a personal preference. I have friends who like Little Caesars, Pizza Hut, or Hungry Howie. Others who prefer Piesanos or Bravo. Still others who insist Stavros and Sons is the best. As long as they are paying, I don't argue. Just smile and enjoy!

I like Pasta Faire Pizza. Soft, chewy crust with yeasty flavors. Sauce doesn’t overpower other flavors. Toppings individual choices but I like pepperoni sausage onion.

I like thin crust pizza and this has distinctive taste for me. Course others may have different views about pizza. So, IMO only place I consider retuning to. Otherwise just buy frozen pizza with I consider best rated of frozen pizza Digiorno’s classic crust.
yes everyone has different backgrounds and taste, as I grew up in the mom & pop pizza shops all I can say is if you rave about Marcos and Digiorno's I can't hold any regard to your commentary... I don't eat cardboard.

We love NYPD Pizza - always tasty always fresh and the crust is my favorite. We don't need to look for an alternative as they got what we like. The 2 waitresses we had the other night were both awesome. If I were to knock anything it's that they don't have the diverse alcohol selection that City Fire has. But not an issue if you love wine. It's also small and may not fit big groups during peak times, so takeout is also a good option.
