Chicago deep dish pizza is the bready bastard child that Texan Ike Sewell foisted on the world via the city of Chicago.
God is not amused at what has been done to the gift He gave the world via the Italians.
Chicago perverted His gift of Italian pizza.
Chicago regularly leads the nation in murders, graft and corruption.
Coincidence?

It was shortly after pan pizza was developed that man walked on the moon. Coincidence?
If you are going to eat thin-crust pizza, order a pan pizza and then just eat the box.
