What people say, in short
Paulie Gee's draws particularly strong praise for Detroit-style pizza at Logan Square, including the US Pizza Cup Winner. Diners distinguish it from the New York-style slices at Wicker Park. One diner prefers the Detroit pies by a wide margin; others find the crust bland, too bready or poor value. Experiences span both Chicago locations, which serve different styles.
