Chicago was historically considered the Second City, after NYC. It's a major shipping and economic hub and has something like the 6th highest GDP of any urban region in the world, over $919 billion in 2024. It has an incredibly diverse culture and is a world class city by every definition of the word.

    Its a corporate tax haven with substandard pizza and a goofy accent.

    If pizza quality is going to be a consideration for city tiers I'm not sure any of the other cities in this conversation are actually any better.

    Does it have a distinct regional pizza style? Yes, two in fact.

    Does it do other distinct regional pizza styles really well? Yes, it's gonna be way better than most other American cities.
