No square cut?Pizza from Pizza Twist in Hillside, Queens & pastries from Oasis Cafe in Flushing, Queens. Plain pizza was pretty trash but the other ones were solid.

Damn I didn't even think of asking for that. If I ever go back I'll make sure to ask if they have that option.
Nice! Good 'ole Glen Oaks, yup. It's changed a lot over the years. A lot of the OG businesses are long gone.
It def does, good eye. Same cornmeal crust as them too. This place was kind of expensive & now worth it imo. The 14" pies I got are their "large" priced at $22 & their 16" XL is a whopping $29
. I can go to an actual pizzeria & get me an 18 inch-er for like $20, lol, never again.

What's changed about it in your opinion? I grew up in the Floral Park/Bellerose/Glen Oaks area.

Man, still trying to figure out what makes that Pizza Chicago StyleDamn I didn't even think of asking for that. If I ever go back I'll make sure to ask if they have that option.

. No tavern cuts, no cracker crust, and the crust is completely visible.

Lol, yeah there's absolutely nothing about it that makes it even a little Chicago style. I guess that's the best name they could come up with given their limited creativityMan, still trying to figure out what makes that Pizza Chicago Style
. Does Chicago identify more with tavern style or deep dish for pizza? I'm going to guess deep dish for sure.

Population boom, cost of living & property prices have nearly doubled. There's a lot of strip malls in Glen Oaks now compared to back in the day.

Both. Most Chicagoans eat more tavern style than Deep Dish. There's just far more taverns style joints around. But we're more famous for Deep Dish outside Chicago.
The tavern style started in the Southside at Vito & Nicks (father/son) which opened as a speakeasy during prohibition in the 1920's. In the 40's Nick asked his mother from Sicily (Vito's wife) if she could make super thin Pizzas and cut them in squares so people at the bar could share. It was meant to keep the customers thirsty and make a little extra dough from the Pizzas. Eventually other taverns followed and it became a thing.
I think I'm gonna head over there tonight for dinner. It's been a min and I haven't had Pizza in a couple weeks.

Lou's makes tavern style too. It's good, but not my favorite. Not as crispy as I like it. If you can head out to Vito & Nicks I give you mad props. It's just really good pizza.i been bugging

People are saying this is the new spot on LI.
It’s connected to and run by Root & Branch Brewing, which is one of the best breweries in the country. I’m inclined to believe the pizza is worth the hype if they’re putting as much love into it as they do the beers:
