you chicago guys have no idea how exotic real deep dish pizza is to outsiders. when i took my wife to chicago in april, the look on her face after she saw/tasted the pizza we got was hilarious. i have definitely never pleased her to that level

I had some in January/February and can attest that this is legit. I always thought I didn't like Chicago style because every place around here makes a garbage knockoff. Quit fighting about which place is best up there because it's all horsefeathering good.

how often did you all eat deep dish pizza while living in chicago? i grew up eating thin crust pizza way more often than deep dish.

Whenever out of towers came in mostly. Maybe once a year outside of that if we just randomly got a craving for it.

 

If we're talking thin crust Giordanos still > Malnatis, but thin Chicago is were the local joints really shine (not sure I've ever ordered thin crust from the chain places unless also ordering deep dish too)

Deep dish pizza isn't really pizza, regardless of who makes it. *

 

Don't @ me

 

 

* Unless Bryce Harper says it is and demands it when in order to sign with the Cubs

So the legend goes, Giordanos is taken from some grandmothers recipe for Easter pie, which means NYers can stop calling their slices "pie" and then we'll stop referencing ours as pizza. Also Giordanos serves a stuffed pizza technically whereas Malnatis serves a deep dish, with some minor technical differences I guess? So they can both claim respective #1 status in their fields.

I have only had Malnati's thin crust, it was ok. The mom and pop places are the place to go. And it must only be cut in squares.

Few things are more perversely satisfying than to order a Chicago thin crust pizza cut pie-style and then watching the light slowly fade in their eyes of the person taking your order. Edited by Sammy Sofa

my friend and i argue about this every time we order a thin crust pizza. i hate long flimsy triangle pieces, he hates not having a crust to hold onto.

The best by far is Aurelio's in Homewood. Some of the other Aurelios are good, but the original one in Homewood is the best thin crust.

[expletive] you guys. I saw a bunch of pages added and thought there was exciting or at least interesting news about Bryce and it's all about horsefeathering pizza? BTW there is no great Pizza in Denver (especially deep dish).

It's only slightly more satisfying than when I stare them down, unblinking, while I brush the dumb nuclear-colored salad off of a hot dog, and then sexily blast some ketchup all over it.

 

Or leaning in all close and casual and ordering a beef...and then adding that I want some melted cheese on that bad boy, AND for the bread to be toasted.

 

I love wrecking the worlds of Chicago food peddlers.

yeah i guess i was just thinking chicago pizza bc we were arguing specifically over chicago food/pizza.

Oh yeah true, dressing up hot dogs with all this extra nonsense is also terrible. Sauerkraut, relish, mustard, and ketchup - that completes the list of things that make sense on a hot dog

Tom and Sofa are monsters with this hot dog talk.

Although I prefer my Italian beef exactly how Sofa orders it. Maybe I am a monster too?

There's was an Uno's near me here that, mercifully, finally closed. If another Chicago pizza place tries to show up here, I'm going to be waiting with a mob and torches.
