The Great Pizza Debate: New York vs. Chicago
披薩之爭：紐約和芝加哥，何者更勝一籌？
There is no denying that the United States loves pizza. As of 2023, the country was home to more than 80,000 pizzerias. And, according to some estimates, the average American will eat a whopping 6,000 slices in their lifetime. Considering pizza’s popularity, it isn’t surprising that people have strong opinions on the subject. Some discuss which toppings are the most delicious or argue over which restaurant sells the best slice. However, there is one debate that rages more than any other: New York or Chicago?
無可否認，美國熱愛披薩。截至二○二三年，這個國家有超過八萬家披薩店。而根據一些估計，美國人一生中平均會吃掉驚人的六千片披薩。考慮到披薩受歡迎的程度，人們對這個主題有強烈的看法也就不足為奇。有些人討論哪些配料最美味或爭論哪家餐廳賣的披薩最好。然而，有個爭論比其他任何爭論都要激烈：紐約的還是芝加哥的好？
New York–style pizza is older than Chicago-style pizza. Most sources say that it was invented in 1905 by Italians Gennaro Lombardi and Antonio “Totonno” Pero. In New York’s Little Italy neighborhood, they opened a restaurant that sold oven-baked pizza for just five cents a slice. This restaurant was so successful that pizzerias soon began opening all over New York. For nearly 40 years, New York–style pizza had no competitors. But all that changed in 1943 when business partners Ike Sewell and Ric Riccardo opened Pizzeria Uno in Chicago. Here, they sold creations that were nothing like the pizzas found in New York. With this, a decades-long pizza war started.
紐約式披薩比芝加哥式披薩歷史更久遠。大多數資料來源稱它是由義大利人格納羅．隆巴迪和安東尼奧．「托托諾」．佩羅在一九○五年發明的。在紐約的小義大利區，他們開了一家販售一片只要五美分爐烤披薩的餐廳。這間餐廳非常成功，以致於披薩店很快就在紐約各地紛紛開張。之後將近四十年，紐約式披薩沒有競爭對手。但這一切在一九四三年發生了變化，當時商業夥伴艾克．西維爾與瑞克．里卡多在芝加哥開設了披薩店烏諾。在這裡，他們販售的作品跟紐約的披薩完全不同。於是，一場長達數十年的披薩大戰就開始了。

What are the differences between the styles? Well, New York–style pizza has a flat, thin base that’s crispy on the edges. It’s covered with a single layer of light tomato sauce, followed by a layer of cheese and other toppings. In contrast, Chicago-style pizza—also known as deep-dish pizza—has a much thicker crust with edges that are up to three inches high. It has multiple layers of cheese, chunky tomato sauce, and other ingredients like Italian sausage. 
這兩種風格之間有何不同？嗯，紐約式披薩的底部扁薄，邊緣酥脆。上面覆蓋著一層薄薄的番茄醬，接著是一層起司和其他配料。相較之下，芝加哥式披薩（又稱為深盤披薩）的餅皮要厚得多，邊緣高達三英寸。它有好幾層起司、含有大塊番茄的醬汁和其他食材，像是義大利香腸。
People who favor New York–style pizza argue that it is the original and therefore the best. Additionally, they praise its convenience, pointing out that you can grab a slice and eat as you walk. To eat Chicago-style pizza, on the other hand, you need to be sitting down with a knife and fork. In response, lovers of Chicago-style pizza claim their pizza is more filling. They say the deep-dish crust allows more flavors to be packed in and that New York–style pizza is more of a snack than a full meal.
偏好紐約式披薩的人認為它是最早的，因此是最好的。此外，他們稱讚紐約式披薩的便利性，指出你可以拿一片邊走邊吃。另一方面，要吃芝加哥式披薩，你需要坐下來用刀叉吃。作為回應，芝加哥式披薩的愛好者聲稱他們的披薩更能讓人飽足。他們說深盤餅皮可以塞進更多風味，還說紐約式披薩比較像是點心而非豐盛的一餐。
So, which style is best? If you ever find yourself in the US, make sure you do some research and dec
那麼，哪種風格最好呢？如果你置身在美國，務必要做些研究，並自行決定哪種披薩更勝一籌。
