When I started thinking about creating a pizza-themed t-shirt I wasn’t sure what the design should look like. I knew I wanted to do something comparing Chicago and New York-style pizza but I couldn’t decide if they should be friends or enemies. Should the the Chicago slice of pizza battle or should they be friends (similar to my hope that someday Chicagoans will be fans of the Cubs and White Sox)?

To help us decide, we posted a poll asking you if the two types of pizza could live together in harmony or if they would always be at odds. Pizza fight won out over the more friendly option and just last week we released the Pizza Fight T-Shirt.

Frederick Heidbrink, a freelance designer and illustrator put the design together for us. He shared in our enthusiasm about the shirt (and pizza) and soon the word “epic”was being tossed around. Epic indeed…

10% of every Pizza Fight T-Shirt is donated to the Anti-Cruelty Society. Whenever I see all of the cute little animals at the Anti-Cruelty Society I want to do something to help them. I can’t have pets in my apartment and this is my way of helping out.

What side of the pizza debate are you on? Deep dish or thin? Chicago or New York?
