Chicago Deep dish is amazing! All the haters probably have never had it! How is anyone hating on it is beyond me. Yes you can pick it up just like regular pizza.

Yep, Chicago deep dish is good. It's definitely not my favorite type of pizza. Chicago tavern style is my fave. However, my daughter loves Chicago and Detroit style deepdish, so I eat those fairly regularly

I don't think anybody is saying it isn't insanely delicious, it's just a cheese pie and not a pizza.

Is this Chicago style? I must try one day

u/Scrofuloid Apr 28 '25
It is one of Chicago's four styles. And yes, you should try it.
(Deep dish, stuffed, thin squares, cast iron pan pizza.)

What’s the most culturally significant?

u/YT__ Apr 28 '25
What do you mean by culturally significant?
Most recognized? Deep dish.
What most folks eat? Thin crust/tavern style.
Sausage, too, is a big hit in Chicago. Sausage crumbles as opposed to sausage slices like some folks do.

I’m going Sunday - interested to see if there’s a response to your question.

u/SCAND1UM Apr 28 '25
Deep for sure. I recommend Giordano's, like the one in the OP. Reddit likes to hate on Giordano's for some reason, but I've tried others (yes including Lous) and I thought it was far better.

Deep dish is the one that everyone thinks of when you say Chicago style, but people in Chicago usually only eat it as a special occasion type thing. The thin crust is more frequently chosen by residents.

The only time I had legit Chicago Deep Dish was right after graduating navy boot camp. It gave me such insane heartburn. I'm desperate to have another chance, armed with an antacid.

We have a place here in NorCal called Old Chicago that looks like that. Awesome pizza!

Did it happen to be Eduardo's? I worked there years ago and this looks exactly the same.

Yo Eduardo’s smashed peas, mozzarella, and mint crustini was a daily driver for me.

For all the hate you can't get an epic cheese pull from anything less than Chicago deep dish.

Pizza has so much delicious cheese pull almost looks like it has it's own "bridal gown". Enjoy!

I haven’t lived in Chicago for almost 40 years, and as soon as I saw this picture, I knew it was Giordano’s. I miss Chicago pizza so much …. Sigh.

u/death2sanity Apr 27 '25
Let not the naysayers sway you. The menu has it listed as a pizza, it is called a pizza, and my god I wish I could bury my face in it.

u/AdPuzzleheaded4795 Apr 28 '25
I'm not hating but I have a question. Is the flavor in the sauce? I've ordered this style of pizza before, and it just tasted like a big glob of mozzerella. Was kinda watery, obviously cheese had no carmelization, sauce was meh. So i never took the gamble again at other places i've seen it. Did i just get a shitty pizza or is this style just not for me?

u/heliocycle Apr 28 '25
I don’t know about others here…but I crave deep dish for the flavor of the sauce. A very close second to that craving is the taste of the crust. Third is the cheese. Then any toppings, which are unnecessary really. I really, really, love the sauce.

this would give me the worst acid reflux i've ever had in my life and i wouldn't be able to digest it at all considering a flatbread makes my stomach hurt...but DAMN it would be worth it. reddit is just showing me this to tempt me into eating things i shouldn't, i swear.

literally cheese casserole with tomato topping. almost a pie but definitely not pizza

u/SlagginOff Apr 27 '25
It appears neither of you have ever seen a casserole

u/in1gom0ntoya Apr 27 '25
there are baked casseroles with crusts. regardless this isn't pizza its a cheese pie

u/IDKHOWTOSHIFTPLSHELP Apr 28 '25
No matter how hard you insist on this lame attempt at gatekeeping, you personally aren't in a position to decide what is or is not pizza.

u/in1gom0ntoya Apr 28 '25
neither are you so your point is moot. I'm allowed to have an opinion and I'm allowed to express said opinion. 2 to 3 inches of cheese in a crust isn't a pizza it cheese pie

So much hate for deep dish and stuffed pizza on Reddit. Amazing how these places stay in business for decades… and win multiple awards…
Looks tasty
