Chicago deep dish is not a pizza... its a pizza pie

new york produces a smudge of runny tomato sauce on the thinnest slice of undercooked dough possible. the “toppings” consist of a smattering of rancid cheese dribbled onto the dough equivalent of paper in the most sparing manner possible while still being identifiable in order to charge 10x it’s worth

In college, my favorite was Leonardo's By The Slice, but their sit-down pie restaurant was good, too.

Speaking as a native Chicagoan, I actually agree with Scalia, and I PREFER New York style pizza.

However, Chicago style “pizza” as served in Chicago has its own merits.

Wear loose clothing before dining on it, and don’t eat for three days afterwards. I’d guess that a “typical serving” is well into four digits of calories.

I’m a thin crust guy but I still indeed like Chicago style and everything in between. It’s all good. Heck, even the frozen cardboard crap is good when preceded by at least a six pack, and perhaps covered in black pepper, red pepper and Parmesan cheese, the six pack being the most important ingredient.

I’m Italian and originally from New York.

Even though we left New York when I was a child, I knew one thing for certain, if you can’t “fold” the Slice to eat it, it isn’t Pizza.

God forbid if you use a knife and fork to eat a New York Style Pizza, shudders.

Chicago Style Deep Dish is a Pie, period. They use knives and forks to eat it there which is apparently acceptable to their God. LOL
