We call it hotdish in Minnesota.

Actually it's pretty much identical to a lot of hot dishes I've seen

I’m surprised you haven’t thought to complete your deep dish pizza by putting some canned onion rings on top.

As a Chicagoan I can't let this pass without recommending you try our tavern style pizza next time you're in town. Deep dish is okay for certain occasions, but I am more proud of some of the Tavern style options you will find around here, like Pat's or Vito & Nick et al.

Chicago is an amazing pizza city, and people like to say that deep dish isn't pizza by way of diminishing that fact. Fine, stipulated. Try a slice of the thin stuff.

upvoted for the wide angle lens photo alone, it’s so immersive feels like im there

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Looks tasty for sure.

[–] Stovetop@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

I would do some shameful things to that dish, before it would do some equally shameful things to me.

I'm cold and that looks warm and delicious!

I wish I had this right now

Me too buddy

The hubris of pizza-flavored hotdish.

Cheese and sauce. They put extra layers on top.

[–] MrJukes -1 points 3 weeks ago

It is a bit weird for me. A real Chicago style pizza for me is cheese, sauce, and sausage. Maybe pepperoni if I'm with a friend who doesn't know any better. This one looks like it has half pesto and maybe mushrooms on the other half? Usually the cheese isn't on top either.

[–] Dustwin@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 weeks ago

It was the numero uno and the four cheese and pesto, https://www.unos.com/menus/deep-dish-pizza.php

But why male models?

[–] Pulptastic@midwest.social 1 points 3 weeks ago

That looks better than Giordano’s.

[–] wazzupdog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 weeks ago

I don't disagree

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.world -1 points 3 weeks ago

Nice casserole

[–] MrFappy@lemmy.world -4 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

Chicago deep dish isn’t pizza, it’s a fucked up casserole

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 20 points 3 weeks ago

If I could find a casserole that greasy and full of meat, I'm sure I'd love it too.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Go back to eating your greasy newsprint with cheese.

[–] Cheems@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

It's ok to be wrong

[–] alexc@lemmy.world -4 points 3 weeks ago

Agreed. Deep Dish Pizza is an affront to the laws of God and Man. It may only be about 8” across, but it weighs about 10lbs
