Deep dish pizza is amazing when done right. I've never had it done right outside of chicago, but I'm sure it exists. Chicago is a big city. Right at the Logan Square Blue Line stop there's a place called the Boiler Room that has fantastic New York style thin pizza. Huge cheap slices. There's loads of pizza places in Chicago that don't do deep dish but do the style they commit to very well. Right by the Art Museum there's a place that has top tier Italian style pizza and really great octopus dishes. Loads of great pizza in Chicago.

>>8435995
That's a hearty looking meal you got there. Good for you OP

by actually being pizza

>>8436079
Italian style pizza doesn't exist, it was invented in the U.S. and octopus is a greek dish.

I'll agree that deep dish can be okay but OP's pic isn't doing it any favors, which perhaps was intentional.

There are 4 lesser talked about schools of thought when it comes to personal enjoyment of a deep dish.

1) Health - It's a shit ton of cheese, bread and sauce. Almost ten-fold when compared to more traditional types of pizza. Those who enjoy pizza itself, but are concerned about the health effects of gorging oneself on nothing but fat, salt and carbs will for obvious reasons speak ill of this type of pizza.

2) Mouth Feel - Deep dish has a different mount feel than more traditional pizza. It's going to be softer, more gooey, and present different eating methods due to it's size and descending order of ingredients--sauce, cheese, bread (messy), opposed to cheese, sauce, bread (less messy). Standard pizza contains less ingredients and may be more firm causing a different mouth feel compared to a deep dish. Those who have an opposing view of softer foods will likely have negative outlooks on deep dish.

3) Cultural opinion - The way certain foods are prepared and eaten vary widely by culture. Town A can cook something completely opposite than Town B and vice versa, even though the ingredients are the same. However, because they were initially presented with their local cuisine they may retain a 'home field sentiment' to that they're familiar with. This causes unwarranted contentment for foods which may be different and can often be the cause of primal out-lashes and general niggery behavior.

4) No Fucks Given - The individual who frankly doesn't give a shit what you or anyone thinks and will consume it regardless of any outlandish opinion because it simply tastes good and was well prepared. Unphased by childish whining and pretentious bitching, they are true connoisseurs of food who enjoy a wide variety of tastes and shit on nothing but the john.

Which category do you all fall under?

>>8435995
>how can they compete?

Well tbqh, since that's a tomato pie, no true pizza maker tries to compete. You should try to draw competition from the other pies like pumpkin and pecan, not pizza.

>>8436121
Naples Florida?

>>8436125
Cultural and no fucks. I prefer NY style but I also enjoy other styles as I'm not a narrow minded ass hat.

That said, Chicago can go fuck itself...it's a terrible town full of assholes and if you live there, either shut the fuck up or move.

>>8436136
it's weird you are saying pizza isn't from italy, I don't even know what you're trying to do here

pizza margarita was literally invented at the request of the queen of italy

Now, now. Here in the grand ' ol US we aren't interested in historical facts. It's what we declare it to be and that's that.

Roman Empire? Just a colony of the US. Garden of Eden? It was in Indepedence , Missouri.

Loves me a foldy NY slice.
Love a fat ass Chicago slice.

Fuck you pizza egotists.

At least we can agree that St. Louis style provel based shit tastes like... Well, shit....

>>8436207
Pizza was actually invented in Japan. At least the "westernized" version we all know and love.

I love deep dish for one reason: high calories. Being a hungry skelly is tough.

>>8435995
Nice quiche, where did you get it?

>>8436067
Perfect response. Chicago style anything is an automatic "No thank you" in my book. It's as if an entire culinary tradition has been formed around bad cuisine you make when drunk and regret as soon as you take your first bite.

The city itself sucks, as well.

>>8438175
You've obviously never even seen a deep dish pizza in real life. Definitely never tasted one

Bet you're the same kinda faggot that would have said "No thank you" to sushi back in the 80s

The idea that your preferred shape for a pile of cheap cheese and greasy meat is inherently superior is so fucking stupid I can't wrap by brain around it. The vast majority of new york pizza is disgusting sborro bullshit with a small amout being really amazing. The same is true of deep dish pizza but the idea that it's the shape of the pizza that makes it superior is moronic.

It's the same brain dead idiots that think that the starbucks close to their house makes the best coffee.

I don't think it needs to compete. Just like coffee and iced coffee don't need to. They're both tasty, and earth has room for both.

terrible town full of assholes

It is. I remember one time on a business trip and I asked one of the plebes in the train station uniform which train to take to get back to my hotel and he was a complete asshole and tried to confuse me even though I knew his instructios were shit.

Contrast that to when I was on the subway in NY and missed my stop for where I needed to change trains. When I realized it, I asked the woman next to me if I should get off at the next stop and take a train in the opposite direction. She said no, wait 3 stops there's a big station there. When I got back to my friends Apt. he told me if I had gotten off at one of those three stations, no one would ever have seen me again because it was east NY.

Chicago assholes can fuckoff. NY people have always been kind.

I'll never forget going to the wrong toll stop in NYC (to come into it), there was one side for subscribers and another for passerby's who just pay cash (I went to the subscriber side). The cop who was watching the place told me it was $2.50 or something but I didn't have the exact change which really annoyed me and yet he wouldn't just keep the fucking change.

He told me to drive forward, wait on the right and a minute later gave me $.50 in change. All this felt like 5 minutes of his time wasted on a dumb Californian and I was so embarrassed but he was cool as fuck.

New Yorkers, you might look like crazy assholes from the outside but on the inside you're as friendly as the rest of America. I'd go back more frequently if your city wasn't such a nightmare to traverse through.

>>8439438
More like gay and retarded.

>>8439442
I'm the guy you're responding to and I totally agree but I'm from a flyover, not California. New Yorkers have a bit of a brash way about them, but when they see something's important they step up with kindness. The only thing I ever saw from Chicago was an inferiority complex because they wern't east or west coast.

Who cares what you have to say then

>>8439593
You got further than I did. I stopped at "schools of thought"

Chicago stuffed or deep dish pizza IS really good, but so are other kinds of pizzas. That's the thing with pizza, it's one food with seemingly infinite variations. I love most of them - Chicago, NYC, Detroit, NorCal, St. Louis, New Haven, Neapolitan, Sicilian, Tuscan style, it's all good. The only pizzas I really don't like are chain pizza places that make basically a generic form of pizza that's been corporate-tested and marketed to have generic appeal to the masses. That's the worst kind of pizza. Oh, and frozen pizzas. IDGAF what you say, frozen pizza tastes like freezers smell, they don't taste fresh.

>>8439614
Son, there was nothing about my post that indicated they were not true experiences. Why? Because they happened.

You may need some serious treatment for that thar butthurt, but you might pull through anyway.

>>8439834
>tfw the only good frozen pizza you've ever had has been frozen deep dish

>pizzautists pitching a fit again that their preferred form of dough+sauce+toppings+cheese aren't exactly what everyone else on the planet enjoys
why do you spergs do this? You know food is subjective, why do you argue over stuff like this that is very clearly just a difference in opinion?

'Go dogs are pretty good. I've never had 'go 'za but it looks good too. Hating on it sound like it's just a dumb meme.
