That sounds like hipster shit. True Chicagoans know that language is descriptive, not prescriptive, and they know what everyone means by “Chicago style pizza”.

Yeah I grew up there. "Chicago style pizza" is thin crust, tavern cut, usually sausage inspired, not required. Now that I have moved regions, I know going forth, people will assume I am talking about deep dish as that is what they have been told by publications.

Assumptions usually is that I don't like the pizza because it's not deep dish, but no, it's because it's some type of monster between a red Baron pizza and a digiorno. Either way, way too much bread. Deep dish crust doesn't support the toppings, it's not that thick of a crust.

Well I lived in Chicago for 7 years and often saw Chicagoans make this correction when people talked about Chicago style pizza. I myself was corrected when I first moved there. I don't know what to tell you if that bothers you
