For me, the big thing is how much I hate it as leftovers. I'm the kind of slob that loves a good cold pizza, and Pequod's was the only place that had a deep dish that I could tolerate either cold or reheated, and even that wasn't so great. Real Chicago style deep dish just seems too chewy and rubbery unless I was willing to bake it in the oven forever, and usually it would still end up being too mushy or soup-y. Leftover pizza should either be delicious cold or require only minimal reheating; deep dish I only like when it's freshly made (even delivery was usually a letdown), and like you said, after a slice or two I'm over it. Look here you sonofabitch, I'm deprived of delicious deep dish pizza and have to work to avoid the terribleness that provel cheese. You take back your ambivalence toward deep dish or I'm going to get someone to force feed you Imo's till you puke! DOWN WITH PIZZA CAKE. Just go eat some lasagna instead like a human being.
