If you try Chicago deep-dish pizza from 10 places you will get about 8 different versions.  Saying it isn't good just means you aren't trying.  Lou Malnati's is phenomenal, as long as you get it baked in the restaurant (especially the one on the North Side).  The take-and-bake is a pale shadow.  Geno's East never disappoints me, probably my all-around favorite.  You can get a sausage patty that covers most of the crust.  Some really like Pizzeria Uno, but it doesn't work for me.

 

I grew up and went to college in Minnesota (and love Carbone's) so you won't get me dogging the really thin pizza in square pieces.  My most recent favorite pizza place here, where I live north of Chicago, is that style, and it's phenomenal.  But oh man, the right deep dish is a special thing.

 

And RB, your Chicago-style hot dog has to have both a dill pickle and sweet relish or it just ain't happening.

Why would I ruin a perfectly good hot dog with a dill pickle and sweet relish? Toss some mustard on that bad boy and be done with it!!

It's not that I don't like Chicago-Style pizza, it's just that if I want pizza I'm going NY style or thin crust. If I want Lasagna then I may be in the mood for Chicago style.

I really like the NY style pizza I got from a takeaway place near Times Square, but somehow when I buy it in a mall in the Midwest it isn't the same.  Must be the oven.  Or something.  Maybe the servers here are too friendly.

There's a place on 24th and Nicollet just outside of downtown MPLS called Slice Of New York that absolutely wails. 

 

If you order by the slice, often times they'll throw whatever additional toppings you want onto it and even extra cheese before re-heating it in the oven. Top-notch stuff!

Sure, every great pizza place is in a mall, right next to the Footlocker...

[Pardon My Dinger]

Best NY style I've had not in New York, I bleep you not, is at Dodger Stadium. It's actually quite remarkable. And they sell Peroni there.

Detroit. Style.....

With extra lead served at 830 fps?

That would probably be due to relative lack of 'things.'

And I'm here to bring the Internet of Things to you.

I wonder if there's Chicago-style hot dish?

That's basically what Chicago-Style Pizza is.

As a lifelong Minnesotan, I'm a huge fan of the thin-crust- cut-into-squares-style that all of our best local spots serve. I've even heard that in parts of the country they refer to the style as "Minnesota Style." One time I met someone from the Carbone family and asked if the style was invented in MN, and they bluntly said "No, we took that from Chicago." 

 

I'm like, "HOW CAN ONE PLACE BE HOME TO TWO STYLES OF PIZZA????"

 

Chicago really does sport a more NY style of pizza plus the deep dish pizza outsiders associate with Chicago.

 

When it comes to deep dish, there is no one style in the city.  Malnati's deep dish crust is thin and crispy with a gigantic single piece of centimeter-thick cheese on it with sauce and other toppings on top of that.  It's lightly sauced, it's all about the huge slab of cheese. They also sport pizzas with the thin crust cut into squares. 

 

Other Chicago deep dish pizza joints have less cheese but instead as much sauce is they can put on. These are less tasty and less like "pizza." Regardless, the "deep dish" one gets at Dominos (or whatever) bears no resemblance to the local deep dish pizza joints in Chicago.

 

In any case, what Chicagoans consider to be their mainstay is the hot dog, which is also different from hot dogs elsewhere (no ketchup, lots of relish).

Deep Dish is not pizza. There I said it. Pizza should not take one hour to bake, two hours to consume, and 48 hours to pass.

Disagree. Of course it is pizza. Just a different kind of pizza.

Is a taco the same thing as a burrito?

This talk reminds me...what did the Dalai Lama say when he walked into the pizza parlor?

"Can you make me one with everything?"

Not if, it's got more than just cheese on it, which is another "not a pizza"

No.

 

What is too cheezy? Not a concept i am familiar with.

 

Then Mr. Lama handed the pizza guy a $100 bill. He stood waiting for a while, then finally asked for change. To which said pizza guy responded "change comes from within."

Pizza Luce is the single most over rated thing in MN. IMO, of course...

I'm meh on their pizza but love their brunch.
