The finest, most delicious and
awesome Pizza ever to come out of an oven.
Chicago-style pizza is a deep-dish pizza style developed in
Chicago by the first Italian immigrants (other things developed by the same people were the mafia and the wifebeater). True
Chicago-style pizza features a buttery crust (which can only be made here cuz of the water), ample amounts of cheese and chunky tomato sauce. The top producers of this pizza are:
Lou Malnatti's
Giordano's
Gino's East
Uno & Due
Bacino's
Rannalli's
Ricobene's
Some people might say that they
like NY stlye Pizza better. But only to know for yourself is to actually go both places and eat pizza there. Going to the "
chicago-style" and "New-York-Style" pizzerias in your lil bumkin town and comparing the 2 doesn't actually count.
(Chicago also has many pizzerias serving thin-crust pizzas for some of you pussies who can't handle the truth, some of which are in a style unique to the Windy City, but as a term Chicago-style pizza generally refers to deep-dish styles.
