Damnit, I live waaaaaay to far away to taste this. But since we’re on the subject of pizza, I had a bit of inspiration the other night when making a far too late pie. It was something of a fridge-clearer, so it had barbecue sauce, roast chicken, Monterrey Jack and onions on way too much crust for the pan I used. Not wanting to waste the skin from my roast bird, I decided to see how it would be if it was stuck to the crust. I am here to tell you that stuffed crust is for losers; chicken skin crust is where it’s at, if you find yourself in a situation where chicken pizza is happening.
The general difference is that Jerry's is very much in that Lou Malnati's zone in terms of texture (thin crunchy "walls", relatively thin bottom) with a shorter (higher fat) dough. Milly's is square in the Pequod's/Burt's family where the base is more bread like, with a higher rise and more tender chew.

This article made me hungry. Great descriptions of the textures of flavors. Time to make pizza!
Glad you enjoyed it
Curious to know how Jerry's compares to Milly's; based on photos and description they seem very similar - like sorta Pequods-y but less dense, maybe?

Ah, got it. Thanks! I'm definitely going to make the trip out to try it.
