Hands down worst style of pizza I've ever tried. My company went on an outing in downtown Chicago to a place that was famous for it, and I was excited because I love Sicilian style and thought it would be similar. Nope, it was a three inch deep brick of bread. The crust, usually my favorite part, was an inedible greasy rind. Cold tomato paste on top sealed the deal.

  1. Cold is wrong and I dunno where the hell you you went. Cold is extremely wrong.

  2. I'm from Chicago and really it would save everyone a lot of trouble if we didn't call it pizza. Honestly, we usually don't. If you want pizza, you say pizza. If you want deep dish, you say deep dish. If someone said we were having pizza and then a deep dish pizza showed up, I would be pleasantly surprised, but I would still be surprised.

  3. No, it's nothing like Sicilian style pizza.

  4. Greasy crust? Seriously where the hell did you go?

I live in the Chicago burbs but I can confirm we usually just say deep dish pizza instead of Chicago style

Yeah, what the hell - Giordano's is a national treasure!

Wish I could remember, but I do recall they set us up in their basement and there were basically no alternatives aside from the pizza and salads. If I ever go back for another try of deep dish, I'll make sure it's to a place I don't recognize ๐Ÿ˜† I'm sure it's not all bad, but maybe it isn't pizza after all.

No worries, food is very personal. But yeah, from your description it sounds like you managed to find one of the few places serving bad deep dish. Which, honestly, now that I think of it, is rather impressive. I haven't been to a bad place yet, but your description sure doesn't sound good!

True Chicago style is more of a thin crust, like that's what everyone here eats. You had the unfortunate experience of bad deep dish. I call it "guest pizza" cause I only eat it when people from out of town want to try it.

Damn, I don't think I've ever had a cold deep dish. That's fucked up
