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
