    I’m a relatively recent transplant to Chigacoland so I feel a bit of an instinctive need to defend deep dish. But really, its more of a love for all forms of pizza.

    New York style? Hell yes Chicago style? Two slices and long nap, but still hell yes Detroit style, tavern style, California style, thin crust, thick crust, stuffed crust? Yes yes yes yes yes and yes!

      I’m a native Chicagoan and I just wish people would stop thinking of it is “Chicago style” pizza lol

      There’s only a handful of restaurants that make it and it’s not even their best seller, the way more common “Chicago style” pizza is basically just square cut tavern style.

      Deep dish is pretty good but I feel like it’s its own category. IMO it’s a bad choice for most of the situations you’d order pizza. It’s extremely filling so it makes you tired. You have to eat it fast because it’s only good hot (and it cools down quick). The slices are heavy so it’s harder to eat without making a mess.

      Like if I want deep dish, I want deep dish. But if I want pizza, I’m not even considering deep dish, you know? It’s like noodle pasta vs lasagna
