can't see Chicago pizza without my mind playing some Jon Stewart rant
- "I wanna know that when I get drunk and pass out on my pizza, that I'm not gonna drown"
- It’s a casserole.
  
  We call it hotdish in Minnesota.
  
  Actually it's pretty much identical to a lot of hot dishes I've seen
  
  I’m surprised you haven’t thought to complete your deep dish pizza by putting some canned onion rings on top.
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.
upvoted for the wide angle lens photo alone, it’s so immersive feels like im there
Looks tasty for sure.
I would do some shameful things to that dish, before it would do some equally shameful things to me.
I wish I had this right now
- Me too buddy
I'm cold and that looks warm and delicious!
What are those toppings?
- Cheese and sauce. They put extra layers on top.
  
  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.
- It was the numero uno and the four cheese and pesto, https://www.unos.com/menus/deep-dish-pizza.php
What a lovely looking casserole...
The hubris of pizza-flavored hotdish.
It's that Giordano's?
- From Pizzeria Due
  
  -_-
  
  Am blind facepalm
  
  That looks better than Giordano’s.
- Giordano's is garbage
  
  I don't disagree
Nice casserole
Chicago deep dish isn’t pizza, it’s a fucked up casserole
- If I could find a casserole that greasy and full of meat, I'm sure I'd love it too.
- Go back to eating your greasy newsprint with cheese.
  
  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.
- It's ok to be wrong
- Agreed. Deep Dish Pizza is an affront to the laws of God and Man. It may only be about 8” across, but it weighs about 10lbs
