Deep Dish or Thin Crust

Bottom's Up here in Richmond has some pretty amazing deep-dish, but more often than not I'll go for the thinner, Italian-style crust. I agree with Brud and canthetuna's crust-as-delivery-mechanism assessments. For me, it's what's on top of the pizza that matters most. Sure, a well-made crust can enhance the pizza-eating experience, but if the toppings are crap, having nice dough underneath isn't going to do anything for me.

so would u recommend Bottom's Up? I've heard they aren't too bad but at 6.75 a slice it's expensive as all hell.

who the hell would pay $6.75 for a slice of pizza?

Yeah, Bottom's Up is definitely the best deep-dish pizza in Richmond, so if that's your thing, you've got to try it. As far as the price, their slices are huge, and they're usually loaded with toppings. This is the kind of pizza slice you have to eat with a fork and a knife, and most folks can't eat much more than a single slice. So really, if you compare it to most other entrees on any other casual dining menu, it's really about average.

I still prefer an authentic Italian thin-crust to any deep-dish I've had thus far. Of course, I've never had real Chicago deep-dish, nor have I had a NY slice, so you could say my pizza experience is somewhat limited.

Deep-dish. Sicilian to be exact.

I'm more of a thin crust kind of guy, and since I've never been to Chicago, I can't say that I don't like deep dish.

but to me, locally, Ledo Pizza has the best crust.

I deliver pizzas part time after my real job and the thin crusts are frozen and shipped all over the country. So if you care about freshness then deep dish or regular is the only way to go

Blame Smoot for me bumping this, but NY style pizza is the best.. thin foldable crust

chicago style is more like an actual pie, doesn't count

deep dish for dmek and thin crust for the family. it seems like with the thin crust automatically comes oodles and oodles of grease. there is just something that turns me off about eating pizza and grease dripping all over the place
You just don't notice all of the grease because sauce is on top in the deep. It's there, and more of it.

deep dish easily. i'm not a huge fan of thin crust.

Without a doubt thin crust is better in my book.
