This and the dogs are my favorite parts of Chicago!
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

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?

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.

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.

If this is a pizza then beans on toast is also a pizza.
I love Deep Dish, but yeah it's more of a pizza-flavored casserole.
It’s a bread bowl with tomato and cheese soup.

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 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.

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.
Soup bread bowl
Don't forget to have a proper polish with mustard, onions and sport peppers.

So much sauce! Is this normal? When I try Chicago style at home, having never visited, it's like quarter that
Yes it’s normal, but it’s not that much sauce. The sauce is on top, and the cheese and meat are below. What you’re seeing is only the top layer of sauce, hiding the deliciously gooey and savoury layers below.

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.
