CHICAGO<\/strong> – When you want to have pizza for dinner, does it turn into a full-blown debate every day? One new contest is giving Chicagoans the chance to finally settle who has the best pizza in the city.<\/p>\n What we know:<\/p>\n The64.com is hosting the Chicago Pizza Showdown<\/a>, a tournament launching Thursday that pits 64 local pizzerias against each other for the title of the best pizza in Chicago.<\/p>\n From local chains such as Lou Malnati’s and Home Run Inn to cherished favorites like Pequod’s and Piece, a wide variety of eateries are included in the round-up.<\/p>\n Founder Justin Wu said the timing of the poll release was purposeful. As he said, Halloween is actually the most popular time to order a pizza \u2013 even more popular than the Super Bowl.\u00a0<\/p>\n Pizza enthusiasts can go to the64.com<\/a> to register to vote, using their phone number. And voters can win prizes for letting their voice be heard, including gift cards and gaming systems.<\/p>\n Wu said the Chicago victor will go up against all the pizzerias in the country for a Best Pizza in America competition as well.<\/p>\n But when it comes to the deep dish vs. thin crust debate? Wu said it depends.<\/p>\n “I do like it deep just now and then,” he said. “It just kind of depends on the mood that I’m in. You know, I have a restaurant in New York, so sometimes I like the thin crust, sometimes I like a nice deep dish. You know I can order even some of your best on goldbelly.com and have them delivered to my house in Las Vegas.”<\/p>\n The Source:<\/b> Details for this story were provided by The64 and reporting from Fox 32.<\/p>\n Food and Drink<\/a>Chicago<\/a>News<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CHICAGO – When you want to have pizza for dinner, does it turn into a full-blown debate every…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":345240,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5124],"tags":[960,5404,8364,5386,1818,1165,50,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-345239","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-chicago","8":"tag-chicago","9":"tag-cook-county","10":"tag-food-drink","11":"tag-il","12":"tag-illinois","13":"tag-lifestyle","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115468052067563052","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/345239","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=345239"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/345239\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/345240"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=345239"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=345239"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=345239"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
