There's also a New York style square slice like the kind you get from Prince Street Pizza called The spicy spring and that was actually a delight. In general, though, New York Pizza is mostly unremarkable, but Chicago Pizza is every bit as good as you probably have heard and is easily my favorite. Not to mention Chicago is so into pizza, there's just really great pizza all over the place of every type in size
yeah, at least deep dish is something unique
Deep dish I feel is more Detroit style with the thick bread vs Chicago style where it's thick cheese and meat with chunky red marinara on top
your mistake was eating at diordanos
I heard they are no longer the greatness they once were which is disappointing. They used to be godlike
became a multistore chain, deathknell to food quality always
2 maybe 3 restaurants can still work, but beyond that the economies of scale demand a certain level of delegation/sacrifices on quality control that guarantee food quality drops
I don't know. I think there are chains that actually maintain a pretty good job. KFC is actually very well regarded in China. I think Chick-fil-A is well regarded in the US for food quality and a small chain just around 8 or 9 is actually completely handable by a regional manager type.
I would just say it sounds more like their particular execution of the model did not work out.
most US chains are considered good outside the US, normally because local food quality regulations are much stricter. chikfila just has good PR, they get their chicken from tyson same as everyone else
this is what I feel is different, the other one, once again, can be obtained anywhere they are trying to sell more dough.
