Looks like cat litter and an ashtray were sprinkled on top.

"Chicago thin crust enthusiasts" really tells you all you need to know about these people's taste. These idiots do not speak for Chicago. How about "vegan philly cheese steak enthusiasts" next...

Chicago deep dish is actually much more of a tourist thing. Chicago tavern style is a real Chicago style pizza but this thing is an abomination and it does not normally look like that. If you want to have a delicious Chicago tavern style pizza hit up Vito and Nick's.

I'm in New Orleans and (the food is amazing here but) this comment made me really want some decent pizza

That was my exact experience in New Orleans. In fact we got pizza and it was one of the worst pieces I've ever eaten. The beignets were fantastic though.

The food here is one of my favorite things about living here but the pizza sucks compared to any medium-size midwestern town. I work with tourists and always recommend they avoid pizza while they’re here.

By tavern style do they mean the area outside the tarven where people get sick?

Tavern style means it looks the same going in as it does going out

I think that could be a Chicago buried pizza under a pile of every single topping the shop offers.

The pizza concept started to go wrong with the words "tavern style." That is not a thing, unless you've never been closer to Italy than Elk Grove Village

I'm not a Chicagoan but I did live in Chicago for a year, and I will say, I'm a big defender of deep dish. It's delicious. This, however, looks pretty aggressively unpleasant.

It fell on the street, they used a broom to get everything together and threw back on the pizza.

Those granules on top make it look diseased - it's actually impressive how disgusting this pizza looks despite probably being fine to eat.

I grew up in Chicago. Chicago wouldn't know good pizza if it got run over by a herd of Italian buffalo. Buncha Irish and Croats who think you have to put errything in the fridge on the thing.

_Let_Us_Prey_@reddit (OP)

I take pizza pretty seriously and have lived in Chicago for the last 7 years. It boggles my mind how some of the absolute worst pizza I’ve had in my life is so beloved and praised. The average pizza place here just flat out makes shitty pizza.

Reply

Malsperanza@reddit

Compadre! I grew up on that godawful deep dish stuff. Chicago has excellent ethnic food, fantastic street food. Best BBQ outside of KC and Mississippi IMO. But they should just forget about the pizza. (And the hot dogs with that green stuff straight from the Chicago River. Stick to Polishes and brats.)

I wanna try it. Also I’m pretty sure that’s just ground beef maybe ground sausage. I’ve never seen beef like this on a pizza but somehow the fact that they heated ground meat in a pan and just dumped it onto the pizza makes me want it even more. OP, did you actually taste this? Had anyone laid buds on this pizza?
