NY pizza is bread with tomato sauce on it.

The "bread" is made from special Captuo 00 flour and is baked at 800°. The "tomato sauce" comes from San Marzano tomatoes and you forgot to mention the mozzarella cheese made from milk from water buffaloes, the parmigiano-reggiano cheese aged two years, and the fresh basil. What, exactly, went into that disgusting glop identified as Chicago pizza?

That particular pizza was ordered with spinach, sausage, extra tomatoes, black olives, green peppers, and onions. It's simply delicious, but to be honest, I consider it simply a different dish from east-coast pizza. Both have their places. The thing about Chicago pizza is that the crust is always so crispy that it stands up by itself if you only hold one corner of a piece; thus, no need to fold it. Thin, soggy pizza is simply a different dish. Each is regional. I live in TX, and you can't really get either one here. While many pizza places in other parts of the country market a "Chicago-Style," or a "New York-style" pizza, none of those is remotely the real thing from either place. The great pizza wars almost remind me of the Yankee-Red Sox disputes. Always fun.

I am an Italian and a Chicagoan all my life. I prefer thin crust pizza and no, we do not eat pizza with a knife and fork. that mess pictured is not Chicago style pizza.

I lived in Chicago for 50 years. Nothing can compare with a deep-dish Chicago pizza from Lou Malnati's or Pizzaria Uno's. Any Hogger from the Chicago area will agree with me.
and ones from Canada that have been to Chicago and ate at Lou Malnati's two nights in a row, fantastic pizza (just different than the flat ones) and atmosphere. My wife and I can't wait to go back to Chicago and have it again.

Yep! You just described bread with tomato sauce ( or ketchup) on it!

I have traveled extensively in Italy and Italians (in Italy, not Italian-Americans in Chicago) eat pizza with a knife and fork.

Uh, wrong!
"Chicago-style pizza refers to several different styles of pizza developed in Chicago. Arguably, the most famous of these is known as deep-dish pizza. The pan in which it is baked gives the pizza its characteristically high edge which gives a lot of space for large amounts of cheese and a chunky tomato sauce. Chicago-style pizza may be prepared in deep-dish style and as a stuffed pizza.[1][2]"
