As a Chicagoan I can't let this pass without recommending you try our tavern style pizza next time you're in town. Deep dish is okay for certain occasions, but I am more proud of some of the Tavern style options you will find around here, like Pat's or Vito & Nick et al.
Chicago is an amazing pizza city, and people like to say that deep dish isn't pizza by way of diminishing that fact. Fine, stipulated. Try a slice of the thin stuff.
It is a bit weird for me. A real Chicago style pizza for me is cheese, sauce, and sausage. Maybe pepperoni if I'm with a friend who doesn't know any better. This one looks like it has half pesto and maybe mushrooms on the other half? Usually the cheese isn't on top either.
Who mentioned anything newsprint related, I’m just saying that if it’s deep dish then the cheese can still be on top like BJ’s. That shit is absolute fire. Sauce on top is gross and an unpleasant mess.
