I would suggest the undisputed #1 and #2 are Chicago and New York, wouldn't you? I don't think KC really has a distinctive style. I think there's such a vast array of the various styles that we're vaulted very high.

It's the same reason I thought Houston cuisine was top notch. You had your pick of seafood from the gulf, texas beef, authentic Cajun, Tex-Mex, authentic Mexican, Thai, German, Mediterranean, South American, etc.

I like Grinder's pizza, they also have a plus cheesesteak, a plus burger, and a plus beer selection. Their pizza by the slice struggles a bit if you go during the lunch rush. They also have the best tator tots in KC since Texas Toms closed.

I think KC is a plus pizza city, but can't put them near the top when there isn't a legit Chicago style pizza in this city that I've found since Tartantino's closed.
