I had an amazing pizza experience in New York. Don't remember what the place was called, but it was next to or very near a gelato shop called CONES.
That said, there are several really amazing gourmet pizza shops in Minneapolis/St. Paul, stuff that would rival many places in New York and Chicago.
I like a traditional hand-tossed pizza with a chewy crust. Don't really care for thin crust or deep dish.

I'd like to chime in even though i'm an Englander.
I presume that NY pizza is like the standard kind of pizza you get, e.g. Pizza King, Dominos, etc.
I have no idea what Chicago pizza is, but I have had
Chicago Town microwave pizza:
And that was fucking horrible.
I vote ultra-thin pizza from an Italian restaurant.

In the three years I lived in DC, I only came across one place that had good pizza, Armand's, which was west of the park and thus way out of my way. I only had it maybe two or three times, which is almost the number of times I was west of the park.
DC pizza is ass.
FUCKOFF.
DC has some excellent Pizza. Two Amy's and Paradiso for example. Armands too.
Here's Paradiso's BOTTARGA (note, I asked for less cheese and a whole wheat crust):
Yes, that's an EGG IN THE MIDDLE, covered in dried, salty, smoked fish eggs.

I am admittedly biased, but some of the best pizza I've ever had is at a place called Rudy's here in Bellingham.
Excellent crust that is thin, but not as thin as NY style. Great sauce as well, though I know folks who have never warmed to it.
There is only one other Rudy's, in Lawrence, Kansas. When I wen there while on tour a few years ago, it was like being home for 30 minutes.
Perhaps this is Kansas style pizza? If so, I like Kansas style pizza.
I'd take Chicago over NY any day.

I have not experienced any
really good pizza anywhere West of the Mississippi, and a friend of mine holds this as a steady rule.
That said, I also subscribe to the cliche about bad pizza still being pretty good.
Chicago style, however, is the BEST.

Thin pizza, too, we got a million places do it good here.
The style I think of as "New York" pizza is basically what you get at Sbarro... one big floppy triangle. It's also excellent.
But it can't touch thick and stuffed (we got at least four places here that do it great, assuming Guliano's is still around) or the cut-into-pieces-the-size-of-a-credit-card style thin we got here.
Sometimes I get NY style pizza here, at Bacci. It's roughly NY style. I like it, cause it's a block away and it's easy. But it's not the best.
Sorry NY!!! Just add it to the list!! One more way Chicago kicks your lame ass!!!
exactly what he said, Giordano's stuffed is delicious. Our thin pizza is delicious. Our deep dish is delicious. We can get 'new york' style here on par with anything in New York.
Fuck New York all around. Chicago wins in every match up against New York.
It's bigger and dirtier and full of bigger assholes, that's it. Everything else Chicago takes it.
