Look up Tavern Style pizza. That’s what Chicagoans actually eat. We show deep dish to tourists to keep them away from the real treasure.
Lou Malnati’s sucks too if you’re comparing deep dish.
I'm from Chicago and I love deep dish pizza. Just pick up the box. It is a man's pizza! Much preferred to that lightweight girly foldover New York style.
