Precisely. Good Chicago pizza (by which I mean, of course, stuffed pizza and not that "deep-dish" nonsense) is a marvelous and lovely food that is similar in name and ingredients to New York pizza, but bears no other meaningful comparison.
For good bagels, and good flat thin-crust pizza, you just have to go to New York. That's all.
(I met someone once who insisted that the best bagels in the world were to be found in Montreal. I'm still puzzling over whether he's more worthy of loathing or pity.)
