What is the difference between New York style pizza and Chicago style?

Answer 1

Chicago pizza is a deep dish pizza developed in Chicago. It's three inches tall at the edges and serves as a bowl for toppings like cheese, tomato and other toppings you choose to add to your pizza. New York pizza is flexible and foldable, and also flat. It doesn't usually use a lot of cheese or other toppings because the dough or crust is very thin. The crust is made from high-gluten bread flour and the dough is all hand tossed. That is the difference between New York and Chicago style pizza.

Answer 2

New York style Pizza is an older style, it is flat and thin with very wide pieces, people often fold them in the middle to eat. Chicago style pizza is a newer style created in the 1950s, and it is very thick like a casserole, takes much longer to cook all the way through and people often eat it with a knife and a fork because it is so heavy with cheese, sauce, and toppings.
