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

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 23 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The sauce covered a lot of it.

[–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

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

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

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 3 points 9 months ago

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

[–] ShadyGrove@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

You are correct, tavern style is the way to go.

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 7 points 9 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 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 9 months ago

Whatever it is it’s not pizza.

[–] Zatore@lemm.ee 6 points 9 months ago

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

[–] WanderingVentra@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

Hey, I like Giardano's lol

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

[–] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You guys are worse than the carbonara gatekeepers.

[–] Heterocephalus@lemm.ee 4 points 9 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 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 8 points 9 months ago

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

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 3 points 9 months ago

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

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 6 points 9 months ago

Yes but what a delicious way to drown

[–] Andonyx@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Hell yeah!!!

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 9 points 9 months ago

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

[–] wabafee@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

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

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

[–] drphungky@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago (5 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!

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

[–] neo2478@sh.itjust.works 7 points 9 months ago

Inb4 "tHiS iSnT piZzA RAAAAAAAGE" damn too late.

[–] anothermember@lemmy.zip 7 points 9 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 9 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.
