    “Chicago Style” pizza isn’t deep dish, it’s square cut tavern style pizza. Yeah, deep dish isn’t that great.

    The hot dog is indeed Chicago style and it’s good

    I don’t know what’s in the lower left but it looks good

    That’s Italian beef in the lower right and it’s really good.

    So 1 out of 4 is Chicago style

    Source: Lived here my whole life with over half of it in the city itself

      Inside Chicago the thin tavern is “Chicago style” outside of Chicago deep dish is “Chicago style”

      I know it sucks but you can’t change everyone’s mind.

        My main problem with an Italian Beef is that a French dip requires a fraction of the ingredients but tastes just as good, if not better.

        Detroit style is a square pan pizza, pan being a very thick bready bottom. Chicago or tavern style is a thin crust round pizza that is cut into squares. I personally love Detroit style!

        It is but it’s pan pizza, not thin crust. And it’s made a bit differently.

        Chicago style is basically just normal pizza. Good but nothing to write home about

          That’s the problem. Everywhere has thing crust pizza cut into squares. But that deep dish italian pot-pie of amazing is worth claiming imo. I love the deep dish Chicago style pizza, but rarely can find it outside of Chicago.

            is worth claiming

            Truly; I don’t know why so many Chicagoans want to distance ourselves from it.

            It – also – wholly originated in Chicago, no one’s going to give us prop.s for tavern style Chicago pizza – they’ll likely just forget we originated anything –, and – also (as you said) – it’s fucking good and I’m tired of pretending it’s not.

            Every person I’ve known who swore up and down that it was an abomination to pizza I managed to get lost in the sauce after they finally allowed me to introduce them to it; it is amazing.

            Yeah it’s pretty good but it’s like…If you’re in the mood for deep dish, you get deep dish. If you’re in the mood for pizza, deep dish isn’t an option.

              I can see that. Like if I’m craving “pizza” that wouldn’t satisfy the craving.

                Exactly. It’s also heavy and isn’t great cold which makes it a pretty bad party food, too

        It is, and it is an actual pizza, so much better than the Chicago damp lasagna on bread they call deep dish

      What makes the hot dog Chicago style? It mostly just looks like a normal hot dog with a bunch of toppings

      Im gonna say it, tavern style pizza is just a worse New Haven. Y’all just stole their pizza to distract everyone from the fact that the original Chicago style pizza sucks.

        Don’t follow football so all I can say is that their stunt with the stadium is fuckin stupid and they make enough money to not be subsidized by the city
