Eat what you like but please don´t call it a pizza when it´s obviously not.
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.
It’s a bread bowl with tomato and cheese soup.
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
Lou's sauce is trash. Gio's is the way to go
Hey, I like Giardano's lol
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.
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
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.
I ate more Costco pizza than deep dish when I lived there.
Bro Costco had the best deep dish ever. I still think about that shit. There's been a hole in my heart for years.
You are correct, tavern style is the way to go.
Who tf cares so much about semantics? It's fucking cheese and tomato sauce, idgaf what it's called, I'm eating it.
Pay no attention to Chicago, we purposely trained them wrong... as a joke.
It looks like a bowl of marinara. 2/10.
This is like seeing an iceberg and not realizing everything that was happening below.
Ok as an italian you got my interest; it kind of reminds me of a pizza ripiena without the top layer of dough
For those who are unfamiliar with Chicago deep dish, the crust is thick, and the cheese and topping ingredients are underneath the sauce. That layer of sauce on the top is very thin.
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!
Delicious, delicious casserole
Sandwich, per the canonical diagram.
Soup bread bowl
Would this be considered a pie? A tomato pie perhaps.
It's a pizza pie
Don't forget to have a proper polish with mustard, onions and sport peppers.
Hell yeah!!!
That doesn't sound very polishing to me.
So much sauce! Is this normal? When I try Chicago style at home, having never visited, it's like quarter that
I ate at Giordano's and it was all sauce. Kind of gross it was like soup
It was gross because it was Giordano’s. They are the worst
Chicago style... the only real pizza on the planet!

It's it bad that I knew what this was before I clicked 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.
It's like a mozzarella stick. Only worse!
Illuminati's? That stuff makes me physically ill.
I don't think that's where we were, I forget the name. Why does it make you sick?
No idea. I was told it was the "world's best pizza". They had it shipped frozen to where I live and we cooked them and they were gross. My stomach and a few other people's did not like them.
