They said the difference between NY and Chicago styles was where the toppings go. Chicago would put the toppings on after the sauce, but before the cheese. NY would put the toppings on after the cheese. After all this time, I prefer the NY style, but as a driver, I would do 30 to 40 deliveries on an average night working 3 to 11 pm by myself or 20-30 deliveries working with a second driver on busy nights.
(Emphasis mine.) As someone who grew up on NY pizza and has lived in Chicago for 30+ years, I strongly disagree.

First, Chicago has deep dish, stuffed and tavern style pizza. Two of those are cooked in pans, and NY style never is. And tavern is cut into squares while NY style is cut in wedges. Don't even get me started on the crusts...

My dinner tonight: NY strip steak with Montreal steak spices and horseradish sauce, WF's avocado ranch bagged salad.
