    It is but it’s pan pizza, not thin crust. And it’s made a bit differently.

    Chicago style is basically just normal pizza. Good but nothing to write home about

      That’s the problem. Everywhere has thing crust pizza cut into squares. But that deep dish italian pot-pie of amazing is worth claiming imo. I love the deep dish Chicago style pizza, but rarely can find it outside of Chicago.

        is worth claiming

        Truly; I don’t know why so many Chicagoans want to distance ourselves from it.

        It – also – wholly originated in Chicago, no one’s going to give us prop.s for tavern style Chicago pizza – they’ll likely just forget we originated anything –, and – also (as you said) – it’s fucking good and I’m tired of pretending it’s not.

        Every person I’ve known who swore up and down that it was an abomination to pizza I managed to get lost in the sauce after they finally allowed me to introduce them to it; it is amazing.

        Yeah it’s pretty good but it’s like…If you’re in the mood for deep dish, you get deep dish. If you’re in the mood for pizza, deep dish isn’t an option.

          I can see that. Like if I’m craving “pizza” that wouldn’t satisfy the craving.

            Exactly. It’s also heavy and isn’t great cold which makes it a pretty bad party food, too
