Pizza is awesome. It's not my #1 favorite but it's definitely in my top 5. You'd have to be pretty pretentious to snub pizza.

Great pizza is awesome. I've had some shitty pizza though... the worst are the doughly bland ones that are just greasy dull bread.

I'd kill for some awesome real New York-style pizza. Never had a proper one (I've had proper Chicago-style at least), but Toronto doesn't have either in anything close to pure form.

That said, an Italian guy at work has suggested a couple of places to try. FINGERS CROSSED.

Pizza was my favorite food until I discovered sushi, but that hasn't changed its relative standing to everything else.  I don't give a shit what that makes me sound like.  An American?

Pizza is amazing. Its one of only a few 'foods' that can basically be made into whatever you are feeling up for. (to a lesser extent sushi is actually the same way, there are tons of different kinds of sushi)

Sushi pizza is pretty good, but it sure ain't sushi and it sure ain't pizza.

Jiro Dreams of Sushi

I am watching this right now, and goddamn do I want sushi pretty bad right now.

However, I feel it should be said that this guy's restaurant policies and costs are completely batshit.

Should we make a sushi thread?

One downside to moving to Colorado is that I'm more or less resigned to never have particularly good seafood anymore, and certainly resigned to bad sushi.

There are some pretty good pizza places around here though.

The sushi in Colorado was some of the best I had.  Double especially Sushi Zanmai if you're ever in the Boulder area.

I suspect the better fish gets triaged off to the landlocked areas so that they have a better chance of still being good when they get there, so here on the coast we end up with fresh, but B-grade stuff.

Sushi Pizza!?

Back on the topic of Pizza: Honestly, Chicago style pizza can hardly be considered the same food as New York style pizza. They're just so wildly different in how they're prepared, served and eaten, and while they use ultimately similar ingredients they are distinctly different enough in taste and texture that I would only loosely consider them in the same family of food. They're both great, but for different reasons.
