Piece pizza - how close to New Haven style?

[Enfielder]

Hi Chicago hounds- I'll be in Chicago for a few days next week and want to hit both a DDP and a thin crust pizza place (along with the other 20 places on my list). It will probably be Lou's for the deep dish, and Piece looks like a great option for the thin based on reviews. "New Haven style" is a pretty specific pizza genre, so I was curious if anyone grew up in the New Haven area and can compare Piece to the Wooster Street pizzerias?

I grew up in the area, I think Piece is New Haven style. I wouldn't say it's as good as the pizza in New Haven, but I think that's only because they push out a lot of volume and focus a lot on making beer as well. That said, it's really good, I just tend to limit to one topping to avoid a soupy pizza.

I didn't grow up in NH but spent time there many years ago. My memory is a bit faded of the Wooster St. pizzerias, but as I recall them, the pizza at Piece is pretty authentic. It's definitely an east-coast version of pizza and really delicious.

I haven't been to New Haven but the clam pizza, with a squeeze of lemon, and an awesome beer list will make for a fantastic Chicago experience. It is in a fun neighborhood to wander, and a short distance from the tourist hotbed of the Magnificent Mile and River North.
