Being a pizza elitist depends on where you live. Living in NYC for the past 4 years has morphed me into an elitist. Im sorry, but NYC and Chicago do have the best pizza. I will never order from a chain for the rest of my life.
 
I have had New York and Chicago pizza. It's fantastic. National chains do alright, and it's usually WAYYY cheaper, but it's not the same.

Although, I can't say that the big cities offer pizza that is as "head and shoulders" above the competition as they claim. Luigi's and Gionino's offer pizza as good as anywhere IMO. The elitists in their big towns just think it's better because they live there.

Local pizza is usually really good pizza, regardless of the town. I've have stellar pizza in Akron, BG, Columbus, and (well, not stellar but quite good) in Western PA near the mountains.

I see your point, the only reason i feel i was able to form an unbiased opinion is because i grew up in Ohio and had my share of chain and local. I visit family frequently and usually have a pie when i am there. I still feel like the best pizza have had is in NYC. Lived in Nashville for a year and have to say a joint called 'Mellow Mushroom' was pretty fuckin' good. Lived in Connecticut as well and could not find a decent pie to save my life.

Mellow mushroom is damn good. However, it's a chain. One in cbus now.
 
I dislike Mellow Mushroom. Crust is too sweet and not crusty enough. I like authentic New York style (thin, greasy, limited sauce) and authentic deep-dish Chicago style. Anything outside of those two- like Mellow- I dislike.

Chicago style is amazing. A few summers ago my brother and i took my Dad to Chicago for a Tribe-Cubs game [Wrigley is amazing] over a weekend. We went to a pizza place--and my God was it amazing. It was like eating a pie. The crust was so thick and flaky--one of the most amazing slices of pizza i have ever had.

On a side note--Chicago is the smaller, cleaner and friendlier version of NYC. Really love that city.
 
Lou Malnati's is the best in Chi-town.
 
pizza hut is hands down the best ever since domino's changed their mind shattering recipe.

You thought Dominoes old recipe was the best? The one they changed because they admitted that it sucked and the only reason people ever bought Dominoes was because they could get it to you in like 15 minutes? And you think Pizza Hut is the best now? Oh man, someone needs to get this man a slice of real pizza, stat.
 
im the only person that liked it,but i fucking loved dominoes.

actually, oggis.. natedagg can attest to that. there is no better pizza.
 
Best you can get in Cleveland is Mama Santa's in Little Italy, that's some good shit. Not nearly as good as the stuff you can get in New York though. While I think Chicago is a nicer city in general, I'm not a fan of Chicago style pizza. I love the big ass New York style slices that you have to fold. My sister used to live in NY and I would get pizza all the time when I visited.

If we're talking chains, I like Sbarro the best just because it's New York style, even if it is shitty New York style.
