Having gone to college in Illinois I was introduced to the deep dish style shortly after I learned I love beer. They go great together!!

I've eaten pizza all over the country and I prefer the New York style. Its only fair to say, though, that some New York pizza sucks (like the aforementioned Ray's .... its way too doughy and the sauce isn't anything special). I had one GREAT pizzeria in the old neighborhood that combined a thin crust with a good tasting sauce, fresh cheese and just the right amount of olive oil that combined for a slice of pure heaven (I wax poetic, don't I?).

The square (Sicilian style) pizza that Don Cardi pictured is simply the best pizza I've EVER had. Its so good its almost a sin.

I've had plenty of Chitown deep dish that I loved, and I've had some very thin (crispy) crust pizza from downstate Illinois that I used to enjoy.

I guess its what you get used to.
