You’re a sadist for not showing us the cross section

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 26 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The sauce covered a lot of it.

[–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 14 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It looks delicious af and I'd smash, but why is it called pizza?

[–] distantsounds@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

MFers are out there calling hotdog’s sandwiches and you gotta start this?

Looks like Giordanos, which is fine, but I generally don’t recommend since it’s very saucy and the crust is bleh. Try Lou Malnati’s next time — it’s far superior

[–] droans@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Sure, but Lou Malnati's skimps on the cheese.

It's not Chicago unless you choke on the cheese.

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 22 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Is this is a real conversation or is this all gay code

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 7 months ago

Whatever it is it’s not pizza.

[–] Zatore@lemm.ee 5 points 7 months ago

Lou's sauce is trash. Gio's is the way to go

all the locals i know prefer chicago's other pizza, tavern-style thin and crispy. they might have a deep dish once or twice a year, if that.

[–] IHawkMike@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Pretty much just when entertaining people from out-of-town.

A yes the only "pizza" you need to worry about drowning in if you ever pass out drunk while eating it

[–] actionjbone@sh.itjust.works 9 points 7 months ago

Yes but what a delicious way to drown

[–] Heterocephalus@lemm.ee 17 points 7 months ago (5 children)

Eat what you like but please don´t call it a pizza when it´s obviously not.

[–] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 18 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You guys are worse than the carbonara gatekeepers.

[–] Heterocephalus@lemm.ee 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Clearly defined semantics serve the purpose of precise communication. When someone says "pizza", I want to know what they mean, a pizza or a weird American pie. What is so bad about that?

[–] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 7 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Yeah it'd be pretty useful if different styles of pizza has different names. Oh well.

If this is a pizza then beans on toast is also a pizza.

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 12 points 7 months ago

I love Deep Dish, but yeah it's more of a pizza-flavored casserole.

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 8 points 7 months ago

It’s a bread bowl with tomato and cheese soup.

All of this arguing about if it is a pizza, yet the simple truth that it is a salad escapes everyone.

[–] drphungky@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You're a mad man, and your food classification theories are overwrought AND lead to bad conclusions!

A salad?! Clearly a deep-dish pizza is a form of quiche!

[–] DrRatso@lemmy.ml 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

You are a true scholar of food theory I see.

But alas, you fool, should you thoroughly inspect the manuscripts (specifically Appendix C), you would see that salad theory firmly debunks cuberule for the farce that it is!

[–] drphungky@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

While admittedly mashed potatoes and rice are miscategorized and switched from where they should be, the cube rule is a parsimonious and more accurate model! The footnote misrepresents it as location of carbs, when it is clearly stated as the location of structural starch. When reading it in this manner it is much more clear than any soup-based hyperspace nonsense!

[–] slingstone@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

Gentlemen, gentlemen! There's no need to fight!

However, if you would continue, I would be greatly amused.

NOTE: No offense intended with the "gentlemen" line if either of you is not male--I'm just trying to preserve the spirit of this Victorian era-style psuedoscientific slap fight.

[–] DrRatso@lemmy.ml 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

But even so your precious cubic musing doth fall flat when you consider your deep dish quiche permutates quickly into toast the moment it is cut.

Not to mention one might argue it misses the classification entirely, for a slice of deep dish pizza clearly is endowed with two structural carb sides. And should such a classification exist, it would permutate once more should it be eaten outside first.

While the manuscript of elegant salads stays much more robust to perturbations, a deep dish pizza remains firmly a salad untill the last bite.

Pay no attention to Chicago, we purposely trained them wrong... as a joke.

[–] wabafee@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Would this be considered a pie? A tomato pie perhaps.

Who tf cares so much about semantics? It's fucking cheese and tomato sauce, idgaf what it's called, I'm eating it.

[–] Andonyx@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Don't forget to have a proper polish with mustard, onions and sport peppers.

So much sauce! Is this normal? When I try Chicago style at home, having never visited, it's like quarter that

[–] TheRaven@lemmy.ca 26 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yes it’s normal, but it’s not that much sauce. The sauce is on top, and the cheese and meat are below. What you’re seeing is only the top layer of sauce, hiding the deliciously gooey and savoury layers below.

[–] zeekaran@sopuli.xyz 4 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Cheese below sauce sounds like an unnecessary mess.

Inb4 "tHiS iSnT piZzA RAAAAAAAGE" damn too late.

[–] anothermember@lemmy.zip 12 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm not seeing a lot of "RAAAAAAAGE" here, I'm seeing a lot of people questioning whether it meets the definition but everyone is being civil about it (at the time of this comment).

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

My vote, it should be called dough lasagna instead of pizza. But I'm not a local so I probably don't get a vote.
