To some degree, although technique matters. I used to make a version that had the chocolate mixed in, and that was utterly meh -- I did it occasionally, but it was never all that great. This version -- with seriously dark chocolate as a hard, distinct layer on the bottom -- pushes my buttons much better: the bitterness of the chocolate balances the sweetness of the pie, rounding it out and greatly improving it.
