It's a **** casserole made with the ingredients of a Pizza. If you can't fold a slice and/or eat it without a fork, it isn't pizza. It's a casserole. Albeit a tasty casserole (according to where you get it), but still a casserole. Sorry Chicago guys. :noidea:

I've lived in Chicago my whole life. The interesting thing is that me and literally every native Chicagoan I know prefers thin crust. For the life of me, I don't know why thick is associated with Chicago. In my experience, it's only the tourists and people who just moved here who want it.

Sole Proprietor is pretty good, so I'll give them that.

I've had some great lobster in MA and ME, but this last trip I had one that was as good as you'd expect from a Red Lobster in Kansas. It was not worth half the price.

If you like Sole, next time you're up this way give the 111 Chophouse and Via Italian Table a shot. Owned by the same people as Sole and most people consider Sole the worst of the three restaurants.

Hey combo! Born and bred in chi-town, 100% correct! Thin crust is the preferred choice.

I’ve tried pizza all over the world. Hands down NYC/New Haven pizza is the best.

Pizza in Fl is toilet water compared to the N.E..... the water in Fl is pure trash....hence the Pizza dough being crap. Even Miami Pizza that everyone raves about is so-so...

Is it true that the place in Tampa, forget the name, brings water down from NY specifically for the dough?

Please stop it. I know NYC like the back of my hand. Sister lives in Staten Island...family member with a Production Company in Manhattan....Lol at the following restaurants "Not" being real Soul food.

Sweet Mama's
Silvia's
Nadia's soul food
Harlem Seafood soul...etc...and Btw....all the owners are from the south.

Sylvia’s is a trash overrated tourist spot. Legitimately have never heard of the other ones. Seems like Harlem Seafood Soul is a food truck. Melba’s is easily the best soul food restaurant that I’ve been to in Harlem. Point remains, you don’t come to NY to eat soul food. Have had far better meals just eating at family functions. Amy Ruth’s is solid too. Miss Mamie’s Spoonbread as well. None of them are jaw dropping spots though. Jamaican food on the other hand and West African food, NYC is the spot for.

Great restaurants in CT along the coastline. Just went to Shell and Bones in New Haven and had a terrific meal if you are in the area.

I'll check it out, I usually head there once a year or every other year to help train the Uconn ROTC cadets for their spring ftx eval. Never will I ever pass up good food lol

Better than Italy? Out of your mind and I was just at Grimaldi’s recently

Grimaldi’s sucks. Patsy left a long time ago.

Yeah, better than Italy. I have had pizza in Milano, E-R, Tuscany, Rome, Napoli, up and down the Amalfi Coast, etc. It’s good but not my style.

NYC and New Haven kick Italy’s ****.

Freezing cold tank. MA has some INCREDIBLE spots. Bocado, 111 Chophouse, Sole Proprieter in Worcester, Gibbett Hill Grill in Groton, Del Frisco's, Davio's, and Deuxave in Boston. Not to mention up this way has some heavyweight pizza joints and some of the better chinese food in the country (for some reason, everywhere south of VA seems to have horrible chinese food). That's without mentioning the fact that nowhere in the US has better lobster than MA.

In the area of.Mass/NH where my wife was born it's either Browns, or Markey's for lobster and seafood. I've had Markeys and it lives up to the hype, not sure about Browns though.
