The Best Deep Dish Pizza in Chicago | The Best of the Best
Serious Mealtimes / Layne Dixon
Some people call it a casserole. Others just love to hate it. But as a born and bred Chicagoan and lifelong lover of all variations on the tomato pie I don’t care what anyone says: I’m here to defend my city’s most infamous dish. Scratch that: I’m here to praise it because Chicago deep-dish pizza is a towering bomb of molten glory that deserves some serious love and respect.
Don’t believe me? Well you’ll just have to try a bite. Don’t worry I’ll wait. It may look a little different than the pizza you’re used to but who doesn’t love a mound of melted cheese and a bright sweet-tart tomato sauce? Chicagoans (or most of us anyway) don’t eat deep-dish very often but when we do it’s an occasion in itself an occasion where we happily sit down and wait 40 minutes in anticipation either with out-of-town visitors or to satisfy a craving for something hilariously fun—and comforting—to eat. What’s not to love about a dish that’s truly a party? We don’t make a big deal about it we just call it pizza.
