This and the dogs are my favorite parts of Chicago!

You’re a sadist for not showing us the cross section
The sauce covered a lot of it.
It looks delicious af and I’d smash, but why is it called pizza?
MFers are out there calling hotdog’s sandwiches and you gotta start this?
Saying deep dish isn’t pizza is their personality.
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.
You are correct, tavern style is the way to go.
I ate more Costco pizza than deep dish when I lived there.
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.
Is this is a real conversation or is this all gay code
Whatever it is it’s not pizza.
Lou’s sauce is trash. Gio’s is the way to go
Hey, I like Giardano’s lol
Lou Malnati’s crust was so yeasty and unpleasant, and super skimpy on cheese when I had it. Extremely not worth the hype.
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.
Eat what you like but please don´t call it a pizza when it´s obviously not.
You guys are worse than the carbonara gatekeepers.
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.
Two-wheel style car, or motorcycle? Sir, this is clearly a tomato pie.
Yeah it’d be pretty useful if different things had different names. Oh well.
It’s a bread bowl with tomato and cheese soup.
I love Deep Dish, but yeah it’s more of a pizza-flavored casserole.
If this is a pizza then beans on toast is also a pizza.

A yes the only “pizza” you need to worry about drowning in if you ever pass out drunk while eating it
Yes but what a delicious way to drown
Don’t forget to have a proper polish with mustard, onions and sport peppers.
Hell yeah!!!
Pay no attention to Chicago, we purposely trained them wrong… as a joke.
Who tf cares so much about semantics? It’s fucking cheese and tomato sauce, idgaf what it’s called, I’m eating it.
All of this arguing about if it is a pizza, yet the simple truth that it is a salad escapes everyone.
You’re a mad man, and your food classification theories are overwrought AND lead to bad conclusions!
A salad?! Clearly a deep-dish pizza is a form of quiche!
You are a true scholar of food theory I see.
But alas, you fool, should you thoroughly inspect the manuscripts (specifically Appendix C), you would see that salad theory firmly debunks cuberule for the farce that it is!
While admittedly mashed potatoes and rice are miscategorized and switched from where they should be, the cube rule is a parsimonious and more accurate model! The footnote misrepresents it as location of carbs, when it is clearly stated as the location of structural starch. When reading it in this manner it is much more clear than any soup-based hyperspace nonsense!
Gentlemen, gentlemen! There’s no need to fight!
However, if you would continue, I would be greatly amused.
NOTE: No offense intended with the “gentlemen” line if either of you is not male–I’m just trying to preserve the spirit of this Victorian era-style psuedoscientific slap fight.
But even so your precious cubic musing doth fall flat when you consider your deep dish quiche permutates quickly into toast the moment it is cut.
Not to mention one might argue it misses the classification entirely, for a slice of deep dish pizza clearly is endowed with two structural carb sides. And should such a classification exist, it would permutate once more should it be eaten outside first.
While the manuscript of elegant salads stays much more robust to perturbations, a deep dish pizza remains firmly a salad untill the last bite.
Is a pinwheel the same as a burrito? Of course not! Is a pepperoni roll a calzone?! Never! Structure matters! If it didn’t, why would you be able to order a personal pan pizza or a slice?! Clearly, they are different!
By your logic, I could pick out all of the greens from my salad bowl, hand you a bowl of croutons, and have given you a salad. Preposterous!
Would this be considered a pie? A tomato pie perhaps.
It’s a pizza pie
Soup bread bowl
Delicious, delicious casserole
Sandwich, per the canonical diagram.

Inb4 “tHiS iSnT piZzA RAAAAAAAGE” damn too late.
I’m not seeing a lot of “RAAAAAAAGE” here, I’m seeing a lot of people questioning whether it meets the definition but everyone is being civil about it (at the time of this comment).
My vote, it should be called dough lasagna instead of pizza. But I’m not a local so I probably don’t get a vote.
I’ve never tried it, I’d be interested to but there’s nowhere I know that does it in my country. It does seem to push the boundaries of what is internationally accepted as pizza but the same can be said with a lot of things so I’m fine with it.
With that much filling, doesn’t the base get soggy? Can you leat a slice like a normal pizza? Ie: held by the crust
No the base doesn’t get soggy. Yes you could probably pick it up but it is definitely fork food. How good you think it is might be directly tied to how much you like cheese.
Locals say they don’t eat it but I have my doubts. There’s just so many places to get it. I hope this makes one of them mad enough to run the numbers on tourism vs deep dish establishments because I’m curious but not curious enough to hyperfixate.
No, it’s cheese on the bottom then meat then more cheese then sauce. It held up pretty good but not nearly as well as a normal slice of pizza. Think more like a sturdy pie crust in how strong it is.
