Pizza
Pizza is the Italian creation that has come to be a Friday Night tradition. Pizza originated in Italy from the first pizza parlor, located in Italy. Over the years pizza has become some of the signature dishes of cities such as NYC and Chicago. I am here to tell you some famous pizza parlors in those cities and in the end you can decide, what city pizza is associated with. Let the pizza battle Begin.
NYC
Let’s take a trip to the Big Apple to see what New Yorkers look for on a pizza. Everybody knows NYC is the city that never sleeps but likes to eat. With New Yorkers walking everywhere resulting in 5 to 20 miles a day they can burn calories faster. Whether you catching a show on Broadway or hitting a night on a town, you will see pizza places filled to capacity. They were the first city to started delivering pizza and you’ll see why. NY Style pizza has become a trademark for the City that never sleeps and has become a household name. New York style pizza is a flat, thin, and foldable. Topping of your choice can make this pizza a personal one. Well NY has great pizza (don’t get me wrong this next city had been agreed of having a pizza that will come you full for days.)
Chicago
Hold onto your hats, it’s going to be a windy ride. We are heading to the capital of Illinois to discover their pizza. Deep dish or (Grandma’s pizza which is constantly referred to as) has become an Illinois sensation. Deep Dish contains a buttery crust that is 3 inches tall and contains high amounts of cheese. Picture a 2 Sicilian Pizzas and that is how heavy and thick the dough is. I tried this pizza once or twice before. I would have to say it is enjoyable but way to filling. I barely refuse pizza but after one slice I was done.
Napoli (birthplace of Pizza)
Where is the oldest pizzeria? Who invented and perfected pizza? The answer is. the Napolitanos (Napoli citizens). There is nothing better than getting a fresh, steaming hot pizza. Napolitano pizza has become fan sensation. Many Americans know this Napolitano creation as margherita. Well for anyone who hasn’t tried or heard of it, I will give such a description it will feel like your eating it now. Napolitano pizza contains fresh basil, fresh mozzarella and fresh grown tomatoes for tomato sauce. Napolitano pizza is made fresh to order. It has mozzarella cheese directly coming from the farm, freshly grown Italian basil that is grown in the foothills of Italy or in a local garden along with its tomatoes. The pizza is served on a thin crust, flat and is cooked to perfection. Personally, this is my favorite. I have eaten pizza in Ital and hands down nothing compare to it. Coming fresh out of the brick oven, sizzling hot, and filling the room with a heavenly aroma, pizza in Italy is an experience. Pizza making is an art. In order to make pizza, you must have a passion and are willing to learn how much time, dedications and preparation time it takes to make the World’s Greatest Pizza.
I will leave it up to you my followers to comment and tell me the answer to this question based on this post. What city is pizza associated with and what kind is your favorite? Please comment!!!
