December 14, 201411 yr I'm in Chicago b****es! Ok, not b****es... that's said jokingly. All playing aside its nice to be driving around town scouting out a pizza joint. I settled on My Pie. Went to grandstand and had a funny conversation with an employee there. He was stoked about the sox and even mentioned Their bullpen is so much better, I mean you can slot Lindstrom in the 7th now and have Jones in the 8th I was very, very confused.
December 14, 201411 yr Chicago pizza, blech. I did go to Pequods though, which, next to Pizanos, is the only one I actively look forward to.
December 14, 201411 yr I've heard rumour that people from Chicago don't like Chicago style Pizza; and its mostly tourists, and out-of-towners (like ME!) that eat it. Edited December 14, 201411 yr by woods of ypres
December 14, 201411 yr I'm born&raised and I always loved the stuff. Maybe once a month? The thing about it is it will kill you.

It's just not something you can have all the time. If I got a deep dish every time I ordered pizza I'd be 300 pounds. And the thin crust those joints like giordanos etc make are usually garbage. I usually go after Pete's on Western, and have Dante's across the street. Armitage Pizzeria is also great pizza.
December 14, 201411 yr Author This my pie place is actually really good. Like it more than the Lou M's I tried back in 2011. Edit: there's no way I could eat deep dish more than once every couple or months. I feel like a gluttony fat man. Edited December 14, 201411 yr by hi8is

I feel like it isn't so much that Chicagoans truly want those giant ones with the sauce on top, it's that Chicagoans are never going to like that really thin stuff that New Yorkers eat. We like a lot of cheese and voluminous crust
December 14, 201411 yr So are you saying you shared pie with Melky Cabrera? Did he sprinkle it with HGH?
December 14, 201411 yr There are people here who don't like Chicago style pizza? I hate you guys, like a lot.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but yours is wrong.
December 14, 201411 yr I like a good deep dish on a rare occasion but as a ex-new yorker the pizza there is unreal. Literally not a bad slice in the city. One of things I miss the most out here in Seattle is good pizza.

I'm not sure the name of the place but the only pizza I've ever actually disliked was from a place in NY.

This is the truest true ever. A Chicago man likes a thin crispy crust with all the ingredients cooked on top the cheese cut into squares
December 15, 201411 yr Yeah, I was really surprised by Pizano's pizza. The restaurant is pretty "meh", but we ordered a pizza from there since it's across the street. Really delicious.

You are now hated more than what half of Soxtalk hates Melky. I think the admins should ban you for life. It is the only good pizza. Aurelio's thin crust and Giordano's/Edwardo's deep dish.
