Dave Portnoy did a review of Angelo’s when it was only a few days old I believe. He gave it a high score and the next day and every day since it’s been packed to the fucking gills. Philly is ok in my book but fuck Chicago and their pizza. New haven is really good I love Sally’s but NY is no slouch. We got totonnos, difara, joes, johns, lombardi, new park, paulie gees, prince street, L&B and on and on.
Which Chicago Pizza did you try?
We had planned to go to Burts but things got switched around and we ended up at Gino's east which was a bad choice. That stuff just isn't pizza...it's like ordering a fried ravioli and they bring you a calzone.

God bless. I agree. I fuck with New Haven pizza heavy, and I'm not one of these "NY or nothing" people - but NY's got it all. I actually have been liking this Detroit pizza trend that's swept the country the past few years. It's different.
But anyway back to NY pizza, apparently the Father and Son duo at Prince Street have "stepped down" ... whatever the fuck that means ... because of some 'racially insensitive' comments they were leaving as replies to Yelp reviews. Because of their location, popularity, and the current Instagram Generation of clientele that frequent the place, I could only imagine the type of bullshit they had to deal with in person and on the internet. I guess they snapped and started writing back - and were pressured by journalists/social media types until they stepped down. Not sure what that means for the business or what that's going to do to the pizza. But, whenever I want that type of pizza anyway (the smaller sicilian with the pepperoni) I have been going for Paulie Gee's Slice Shop version. Paulie is low key the NY pizza boss right now and he basically took what Prince Street did and perfected it.
There's apparently a girl trained by Paulie who is making pies out of her Park Slope apartment that you have to order by e-mail that are supposed to be fucking nuts too. She's got a waiting list until May right now.
Emmy Squared has good Detroit style pizza here in bk.
Frank and Dom Morano are both good guys, they dealt with all sorts of idiots on a daily basis over there. Cancel culture came for them based off of bullshit, I go there more often now because of that! FYI the lines aren't any shorter now. I personally don't think Paulie's square is better than Prince, I like the sesame seed bottom a lot but the Spicy Spring is untouchable imo. Paulie is actually the one who blew up Prince Street! When he was doing all those interviews, tv shows & top 10 lists 5+ years back he always had Prince in his top 5 and from all that promotion and really great squares they became a place with a line down the block from open to close.
Good to hear. I'm glad they are doing well, but at this point they're such an establishment that no amount of easily offended transplant assholes can hurt them. I'm going to be in the city tomorrow morning, depending on what time they open I'll pass by. I been going there since it opened just because I was a fan of Rays (the Lucchese's Rays) , which was pretty good in its own right, and different from all the other Rays. I could talk pizza and NYC food all day unfortunately
What's your opinion on Louie and Ernie's?
For a regular gas oven type of place it's one of the best. Their white pie is my favorite white slice from anywhere. When it comes to regular classic ny style they are at least in my top 3 which is always interchangable lol
