Chicago thin crust.  Deep dish is only like 50 years old.

 

https://blog.slicelife.com/move-over-deep-dish-thin-crust-is-the-real-pizza-of-chicago/

 

Also called "tavern style" for the way it's cut... The original Chicago pizza.

 

 

Better than greasy New York. 

 

Cracker crust... BUT I still voted for doughy BFLo.

It isn't bad.  I'd rank top 3 FastFood pizza as:

 

1. Domino's

2. PizzaSlut

3. LittleSqueezer's

That's only the more recent deep dish.  Original Chicago pizza is thin crust.

My family has been making pizza for a long time and honestly Chicago tavern style is found all over the Midwest it's not a unique style like the deep dish 

 

That tavern style is found everywhere from Chicago to Ohio and Wisconsin parts of Pennsylvania it's really not distinct to Chicago if I'm being honest 

 

Your deep dish is 100% distinct going back even 80 years

It really depends on my mood, but most of the time I'd say NYC or WNY style.

Yuck, who goes for that NYC thin slice? If I wanted sauce, cheese, and pepperoni on a glorified tortilla..I'd order NYC pizza.

 

Chicago deep dish, iIf I wanted a casserole on top of dough..that's what I would order.

 

Detroit pizza and Buffalo pizza are interchangeable, they are similar to each other. The only way to roll.

Best pizza I've ever had was in Brooklyn. NYC. 

 

The best pizza I’ve ever had I made myself…..in a cooking class in Rome (Italy, not NY). They let you know it’s not a Naples style pizza, it’s different. And it was amazing! I have a pic of my wife with an entire pie in front of her, then a pic of her taking the last bite. It was so light it never filled you up. 

 

Don’t even get me started on the gelato!

Just ordered a 6 pack of pies shipped from Giordanos, thanks for the inspiration. 

 

It's been years since the last time I had them shipped, but I remember being surprised at how good they came out at home.

When it comes to deep dish, I like Beggars, Lou Malnati's, & Edwardo's "stuffed."

 

Beggars:

Lou Malnati's:

Edwardo's Natural:

Beggars makes a good tavern style thin:

Official WhiteSox pizza... Beggars uses corn meal under the crust...

I love Malnati's! Next time im in Chitown I'll have to try Beggars for tavern style. Any other good tavern style recommendations?
