  • replying to u/AvailableFalconn: I group NYC slices in a couple ways.  There’s the “basic but executed well”, which covers slices like Joes.  It’s your platonic ideal for a pizza slice, and not much more.  Big fan of Saccos in Hells Kitchen in this bucket.   Then there’s the “slightly elevated” slice like Scarrs or L’Industrie, usually trendy and has a longer line, and you gotta like what the twists their throwing in.  I personally don’t love Scarrs for this reason. There’s the “not an NYC slice” shops.  Upside down slices, grandma slices, places like Prince St or Lions Tigers and Squares.  Good pizza, not really the NYC style. Finally, there’s the rest.  Pizza of varying quality - some really bad like most dollar shops, and some alright.  No real reason to go to these unless they’re next to your favorite bar.

    Emmy Squared scratched the itch but I know Detroit style can be better than that— for being fresh out of the over the edges weren’t as crispy crunchy as one would like and the middle was a big soggy and kind of too dense overall.

    it was fine. But for $28 it had better be the best goddam burger I’ve ever had and it was nowhere close to that

  • replying to u/utoocanwoo: +1 for Emmett’s. Not sure of any other Chicago style pizza places in the city, but Emmy Squared and Ace’s both have incredible Detroit style pizza which has a super thick crust and I’d say is comparable.

    Emmy Squared is really not good Detroit style.

  • replying to u/Cptn_Jib: I absolutely love Emmy Squared (for the pizza) and the burger is highly touted so I gad to try it once and.. it was fine. But for $28 it had better be the best goddam burger I’ve ever had and it was nowhere close to that

    The burger at Emily is different and better than the one at Emmy Squared
