Why do people want thin pizza? I think its because they are used to shitty dough. The dough is 1/3rd the of magic on a good pizza and I want to enjoy it. Could you imagine people demanding thin toast? Thin bagette? It's a ludicrous idea to me.
- elzbardico 4y agoThick pizza seems to me like bread with toppings, it can be tasty, but it is not true Italian pizza.
- AlchemistCamp 4y agoBut only a fool would be searching for something other than true Chicago pizza to begin with!
- fartcannon 4y agoChicago style is really incredible.
- rlv-dan 4y agoOn the other hand, Italian pizza can be too thin. For me, I like a crust that is thin but still has a soft inside with that lovely bread taste.
- mlindner 4y agoPizza is American though, not Italian.
- gg80 4y agoNah, there are a bajillion ways of making pizza in Italy, it’s just that the thick and soft one is never round, but even the round one can be thicker or thinner depending on the local preference. It would actually be interesting to find out if the American style of pizza was influenced by a traditional Sicilian pizza called “sfincione” which is still very popular, given the strong Sicilian component of Italian immigration in the US.
- jonhohle 4y agoMy two favorite pizzas (Grimaldi’s brick oven and Giordano’s stuffed) have excellent dough and thin crusts. The crisp crunch and carbonization of a brick oven crust adds texture and flavor. The buttery decadence of a stuffed pizza crust is not unlike a pie crust - a bit of salt and carbs to offset the sweet acidity of the filling. My mouth is watering just thinking of them.
- bee_rider 4y agoI can imagine people demanding thin crackers, or thin tortillas. The dough must be pretty thin to be 1/3 of the overall pizza, if the sauce is too thick, you have essentially pizza soup -- and Chicago deep-dish pizza is an entirely regional affair. For most pizza I think the flavor is in the surface rather than the volume.
- AlchemistCamp 4y ago> Chicago deep-dish pizza is an entirely regional affair I've eaten it on three continents. It's legit.
- fartcannon 4y agoSurely you don't think I meant that you MUST split a pizza into 1 third dough, 1 third sauce, 1 third cheese. That would be hilarious, and yeah pretty close to maybe Chicago style (which is excellent), but not at all what the intent of my comment was. And I've had pizza soup. It was a soup made with standard north american pizza ingredients. It was marvelous.

- fartcannon 4y agoYeah, like pizza that doesn't come from Italy. And has pineapple on it.
- CobrastanJorji 4y agoThinner pizza means more cheese and toppings and sauce and stuff. I also like thin slices of toasted baguette smothered in brie.
- nsomaru 4y ago> Could you imagine people demanding thin toast? Not sure about “demanding” but Melba Toast would like a word with you. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melba_toast https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melba_toast
- throw82473751 4y ago> I think its because they are used to shitty dough. Whaaaaat? The best and only original Pizza is the thin stone oven baked one, please visit Naples to experience it. The thick fake ones you can also call pizza because they are round, but it is just stuff on shitty sugar white bread, ludicrous to me you just don't eat a toast or a baguette then
- graftak 4y ago> sugar white bread You mean cake?

- theodric 4y agoWinner for most American comment in the thread. There are more people in the EU than the USA, and I think you'd struggle to find many who prefer Chicago Deep Dish to a nice flat Italian. But I wouldn't be surprised if one of them replied to me telling me how wrong I am.
- mjevans 4y agoCDD isn't Pizza but a pizza inspired casserole. 'Detroit style' ... shudder technically still pizza, but I don't get the cotton candy like dough or the typical choice of spices. New York style is fine. California tends to have weird toppings but is also OK. Though IMO pizza requires a 'bread', tomato (usually as a sauce), and cheese, in a 'flat bread' style format. Thick or thin can all be good, and every type is going to have it's fan, even if that person happens to hate some component or another. Even if it's Pizza Inspired, it can be tasty.
- Markoff 4y agoBecause: 1. that's real (Italian) pizza and not some American bread with topping 2. more bread/dough, more likely you are cheated on weight of toppings
- mlindner 4y agoThe people who want thin pizza don't actually like pizza. A thin pizza is no true American pizza.
- dapids 4y agoMan, you seem to have a lot of hot takes on pizza here with zero evidence. As a Canadian I will take my thin pizza, not everything needs to be "American". Disgusting.
- bee_rider 4y agoI'd think the rest of the world would be OK with letting us take the blame for these thick pizzas (thin is better).
- fartcannon 4y agoIt's all good at the end of the day, but it doesn't have to be thin to be good, nor does it have to (laughably) come from Naples. And you should put fruit on it too! Right?
- AngryData 4y agoYou can eat more slices if it is thinner. Also I like a crispy pizza.
- fartcannon 4y agoYeah me too, but its not the _only_ good pizza and by no means does that crispy pizza have to come from flipping Naples.
- Fnoord 4y agoFor the same reason like chips. Dough is cheap, that is why USA pizza has a lot of it (plus large portion size).
- fartcannon 4y agoIn my opinion the best pizza in the world is in Ottawa, Ontario!
