Business trip to Chicago (first time here) HAD to get a deep dish pizza. Other pizzas have been ruined for me now.
Edit: I've apparently, inadvertently, kicked a couple pizza opinion hornets nests. Chicago vs NYC, and Lou's vs Giordano's. I knew people were passionate about their pizza but ... damn. All i wanted was to share my glorious pie.

That's not a pizza, it's a casserole.

I really hate deep dish pizza, and I’ve had Chicago deep dish pizza.
basswood1
Chicago, destroyer of pizza.
ImBiggusDickus2
As a guy raised in NY...this looks gross to me. But as a fat fuck; I would still eat it.
Mozart49
Looks like tomatoe soup in bread
tarataqa
Chicago deep dish is just a casserole.
EpiDots
Bread lasagna
UsernamesAreStupidAnyways
Deep Dish is not a Pizza. It's a pie that wished it was a Pizza. And thus became something...different.
TheGreatAku
Chicago pizza isn't pizza. It's spaghetti cake.
AbeFromanSausageKingOfChicago
Deep dish is not pizza. It’s a pan of slop.
Cereaza
Interesting looking casserole.
PineconesAndGravy
Gino’s East also serves fabulous pizza.
ToastedVanilla
That does not look appetizing at all...

NY Pizza > Chicago Pizza

...honestly though, if its pizza I'll eat it. All of it.
Lithpingly
Oh, you mean sad cardboard?
SexPiss
Does this look unappealing to anyone else or is it just me?
JustSayingYouHaventSeenMeAndBatmanInTheSameRoomBefore
Rather go to Portillos than get deep dish if I'm in Chicago.
doggetofftheqcekmty
Pizza travesty, right there.
MDtheGM
At least it's food, unlike the soggy grease puddle on cardboard that NYC calls 'pizza'.
doggetofftheqcekmty
Yeah, cracker crusts are nasty too.
youbetchamom
Stuffed! Not deep dish.
shrift
Thanks, was looking for someone to point that out.
youbetchamom
A lot of people seem to love Chicago pizza so I was surprised no one else noticed. We know our pizza, eh?
shrift
Sorry! I missed the reply indicator... Yea, I was also surprised so few noted the difference.
althefonzo
That looks more like a cake with pizza ingredients
Shitheid
Eat kind of cake there is

That’s tomato soup in a bread bowl.
TheRealAethrys
We know you conceded defeat in the end Jon Stewart.
maninthedarkness
If you are trying to be discouraging, you are failing miserably.
IamTheFNG
It's clear you have never had a deep dish...
thechelonianshelmet
Sorry op but that looks like it got mugged on its way to you, condolences on the loss of your toppings
DrinkingAndKnitting
Toppings are mixed in/under the sauce. It goes crust, cheese, toppings, sauce
thechelonianshelmet
Fair enough, but in all honesty, yick. [Thick crust, just enough sauce, stomachs worth of toppings & a heart attack of cheese, aahhhhh :) ]
platosrevenge
hell yeah cheese and marinara soup!
shadowforcey
Is the cheese a bit much?
angrybeards
Sauce.. on top.. naked like some kind of sauce hoor

Not all of us like that monstrosity.

Can confirm. We can eat anything.

As a midwesterner...yes

pandasmakemehappy
Be happy, the rest of the world made Italy's worst food export (pizza) edible.
AspAspAsp
Oh, don't look up what Koreans have done to Pizza, then...
numnumz
They're delicious. I love them. But they're not pizza. They're more like pie or cake
dragontail420
I think of it as kind of like lasagna, with bread instead of noodles
Corrodias
No one in their right mind is going to think of that when you say "cake". Don't act dumb.
Corrodias
I mean, maybe in terms of construction, you have a point, but we really need to use words that communicate well.
sinkingotter
I'd be worried for anyone thinking of this at the mention of pizza.
Corrodias
Fair enough, it's certainly not the first thing to come to mind.
aderik
Maybe try a real fucking pizza
SUPERfuriouskryptonitecollector
they hated aderik because he spoke the truth
yolobathsalts
Found the jealous New Yorker
DalaiJava
Deep dish pizza. Chicago style pizza. You know what they call New York style pizza? Pizza #jonstewart
CyberAkuma
Those floppy tacos? I would rather have a real Pizza like you can get in Chicago
DominickDickerson
You mean an above ground swimming pool for rats?
CyberAkuma
No, I mean a PROPER Pizza, not the pancake you get in New York they try to pass off as a pizza.
MDtheGM
Which is a misnomer, cause it's really just soggy cardboard.
Atboggs
Giordanos? Lue Malnottis? Where did you get your pie?
willdepartin7minutes
I tried both and i like Lou better
ThuqLyfe
You're not from Chicago if you can't tell the difference!
hikeswithdoges
Gino's all the way!
Corrodias
What, are there only the two?
portalmonkey
Looks like a Gino’s. I miss home. ;)
Widgetboy
Lou doesn't make anything that thick.
eldarriath
Giordano's is best pie hands down
ChurchofBooshism
Nobody gonna mention Uno's or Due's??
Ishkibble
Lou milnati's
cubsfan05
That's Giordano's, thicker crust, heavier pizza (more toppings). Lou's is a bit lighter sweeter&thinner sauce
griffinenthusiast
Pizanos better than Lou’s or Giordanos. Pequods is without a doubt the best
concentric0s
Agree Pizanos is good. Cousins of Lou's family I believe?
TheRealEngali
Pequods though
carpebass
lou's is good. I actually like Gino's East
area42
Gino's is the best.
AssttoRegionalMgrDwightShelford
Lou's is best!
Cuntortionist
Their lemon garlic aioli is the best
ihazbraids
Buttercrust *drools*
AssttoRegionalMgrDwightShelford
Yes... This is what pushes it over the top for me over Giordano's, that and the thin crust... Giordano's is so much bread, still a close 2nd
ihazbraids
Indeed but Buuutttteerrrrr
yolobathsalts
Lies. Gio’s is the one truth. Lou’s sauce is watery n the dough to cheese ratio is fuckin wack.
eldarriath
And the buttercrust is a lie
quattroformaggix4
I’ve never had deep dish pizza of any kind, so I can’t comment on your opinion. But I respect the passion & thought you put into your food.
AbsolutelyUndecided
Jollytothegreen
I like lou best for thin crust. Sausage and mushroom is so good
AssttoRegionalMgrDwightShelford
Yes Yes Yes, and the butter... I love Gio's but it's basically 60% bread... STILL GOOD! But doesn't touch Lou's.
CrazyCanuck150
Giordanos
vinnycthatwhoibe
Yes I knew it by looking at it! This is my go to for deep dish. There's one like 5 minutes away. Dangerous stuff
TheHawkRules
Try Lou’s next time.
KaiserTodretter
As someone from out of town that regularly visits Chicago I get distraught when asking for a place to eat and that's all people suggest.
Shug11
Giordanos is the fast food of deep dish pizza in Chicago.
Bananasandwiches42
Soooo jealous! I took pictures of my pizza from Giordano’s so I can stare lovingly at it when I’m lonely...or hungry.
AnelDestructor
My girlfriends a flight attendant and she just brought a pie back to California from her layover there. Youre right it ain't the same
kjellis213
Stuffed Deep Dish Chicago Classic... I sell those all the time. Enjoy!
Kemyo
Good freaking choice buddy. I live 1 to 2 hours out and I love that place.
Shug11
Next time try Pequods.
Austin24heck
My wife used to work at Giordano's when she was in high school. She can't stand deep dish pizzas anymore.
dooremouse
Next time, try Pizzeria Due. Trust me.
WhatisaYute
Lous5lyfe.
ThorSquirrelIsReal
Try pequods next time your in town.
buddyicon
.
SuburbanCommando
Fuck. Yes.
dizzyv
Lous and giordanos are close by but pequods is the best
Lions1989
my favorite pizza place!! worth the wait every time!
ferretfox
Pequod's is hands down my favorite. Oven Grinders is really good too (more of a pizza pie).
IL0VEBACON
Lol such a tourist pizza place. It’s all about Pequod’s, real Chicagoans know.
Anthf
You sound like a hipster and everyone disagrees with you :)
cuntymccuntersen
Bruh sorry but pequods is burnt trash :).
fumpst781
Eh. Lived here 30 years and I think I'd rather pay for Giordano's than get pequods for free. Plus the wait is not worth it.
Nincompoet
Pequods is shit.
Lennsik
GTFO Gio's is just as good, we all don't got fuckin' Pequod's like ya fancy ass motherfuckers. Deepdish is deepdish.
AbsolutelyUndecided
Good call. Is that the spinach? The spinach deep dish is best. Lou Malnatis is not nearly as good, despite what other may say.
WhenDidWeHaveCorn
You either love Lou’s or you hate it. I hate it.
Austin24heck
Lou Malnatis has the perfect ratio of sauce, cheese, and toppings. Giordano's uses way too much sauce
leftyshuckles
never had Lou's but that's what i thought about Giordano's
CrazyCanuck150
No, pepperoni, onion, green pepper
yolobathsalts
Good choice.
snowman520182dos
My girlfriend, who is from there, swears by Lou's. When we eventually travel there, it will be my first exposure to deep dish.
Nincompoet
Lous uses cornmeal crust. Crunchy, crumbly. Giordanos is flour, chewy and fluffier. Both are amazing with sausage and mushroom. Enjoy!
Shadoweclipse13
All I'm gonna say about Lou's is: deepdish butter crust. It'll change your life :-D
Estoyp00ping
Chicagoans mostly eat deep dish when they have family visiting from out of town usually.
mascotkelly
Ex Floridian 6 year chicagoian. #truth. No locals eat that on purpose. Also portillo's sucks.
yolobathsalts
yolobathsalts
Stupid Florida guy nuf said

Ohhhh, Florida is stoopid. What an original and fresh take! You must write for Carlos Mencia !
beastofburidan
What if they are in from out of town unusually?
LurkerOfDarkness
Then it's italian style....
MDtheGM
Hell yeah, great for special occasions, pan pizza with party cut rest of the time (still better than the soggy cardboard NYC calls pizza)
blooblee1
damn now I'm thinking about every time I've had deep dish and you're right
AspAspAsp
Can confirm. Thin crust is what I get if I'm just getting pizza because I'm lazy.
lecrinkle
I'll take "Things That Only Chicagoans Know" for $500
Teehee1234
As a Chicagoan, can confirm.
CyberAkuma
My cousins, my friends, and myself will all assure you that this is not true. :P
Chilimags
Yeah or Tuesday’s.
Chilimags
Tuesdays. Fuac
mcscusemebeeitch
Mondays =half priced Pizza day
yolobathsalts
I get one at least every two weeks. And Portillo once a week.
harvdog92
Cake shake!

Try ALS Italian beef on Taylor st in the city. Wholeheartedly disagree w comment. In Cali now and miss my Chitown Za! Best on the planet
yolobathsalts

catsandtardis
aboyandhisbox
Hot Dog or Italian Beef?
yolobathsalts
Italian beef dipped with sweet peppers, large fry and side of cheese sauce. So damn good
