This and the dogs are my favorite parts of Chicago!

Looks like Giordanos, which is fine, but I generally don’t recommend since it’s very saucy and the crust is bleh. Try Lou Malnati’s next time — it’s far superior

Sure, but Lou Malnati’s skimps on the cheese.

It’s not Chicago unless you choke on the cheese.

Lou’s sauce is trash. Gio’s is the way to go

Anyone know a good spot in NYC to get one? We got one of the chains in times sq but I’d reckon Chicago people wouldn’t recommend them just like we’d not recommend Sbarro’s.

Every time I see a Chicago Deep Dish, I’m like yo I’d try that as an unique experience.

Lou Malnati’s crust was so yeasty and unpleasant, and super skimpy on cheese when I had it. Extremely not worth the hype.

I’ve always heard it called a pizza pie, which makes sense since it has to be eaten with a fork and knife.

all the locals i know prefer chicago’s other pizza, tavern-style thin and crispy. they might have a deep dish once or twice a year, if that.

Pretty much just when entertaining people from out-of-town.

Bro Costco had the best deep dish ever. I still think about that shit. There’s been a hole in my heart for years.

Clearly defined semantics serve the purpose of precise communication. When someone says “pizza”, I want to know what they mean, a pizza or a weird American pie. What is so bad about that?

Yeah it’d be pretty useful if different styles of pizza has different names. Oh well.

If this is a pizza then beans on toast is also a pizza.
