    Chael, my Dad who grew up in Chicago (Uptown) in the 50's would tell you Chicago pizza is not deep dish. It's thin and the crust is crisp. Brick oven and cut into squares. Italian sausage, green peppers, mushrooms, black olives when you're in the mood for them, and a little well done. That is a Chicago pizza to us.

    When ordering takeout or delivery, Lou Malnati‘s gives you the option to have the pizza cut or not cut. If you don’t cut it it’s supposedly keeps the pizza crispier and more fresh rather than if you do cut it.
    You must have been talking to transplants or tourists. No Chicagoan will tell you Lou malnatis is the best for thin crust. You only get deep dish from Lou’s. There’s 1 million mom and pop pizza places in Chicago to get better thin crust.

      @bigchedds8389 Рік тому

      I've personally for at least a decade do uncut when I'm getting pizza delivered or carrying out.
      It prevents the grease, sauce and condensation (from going to a hot oven into a room temp box) from softening up the pizza.
      Uncut helps prevent this saturation so you can still have a nice crispy crust by the time your ready to eat it.
      Lou's in the last year or so recommends doing uncut because of what I mention above. If you ever had Lou's brought home they're hot as hell and it basically turns into a steam bath while it waits for you to enjoy it. add the little bit of grease and sauce flowing downward and you have a nice soft pizza instead of that phenomenal crisp.
      Id highly recommend pizza uncut if the pizza has to travel. That goes for deep dish or thin crust.
      I do know some people who just get off on complaining about how bad something is and that's where the cut pizza comes in. It completely degrades the quality of a traveling pizza leaving someone with plenty to complain about in terms of consistency.

    If by some misfortune you happen to be going through Steubenville, Ohio or Wheeling, WV you should try DeCarlos pizza. It's a style called Ohio Valley Pizza.
    They bake a full sheet pan of crust and sauce. When you order they cut as many pieces as you like, put it in a box, put all of the toppings on, and send you on your way. It's interesting. I like it. The cheese warms up from the crust but doesn't really melt. It just gets soft.

    Fun fact: Deep dish pizza is for tourists and maybe once in 3-4 month thing for locals. But thin pies were on the list weekly for natives. A sad fact i've found is that the pizza quality overall isnt as good as it was back in the 70's - 90's. Also, pizza life, especially chicago tavern style (thin crust) is VERY short. After 13-15 minutes from the oven, quality degrades at an exponential rate....grew up on the Southside of the city

    I love that he called it "Loomanahtees". Same misprononciation as my lovely wife. Undefeated, undisputed.
    For what it's worth...I like Giordano's better than Loomanahtees

    The circle pub style square cut pizza is the pizza Chicagoans hide from the tourists. Get that style next time!

    Might be a losing battle, but I wouldn't let the kids walk barefoot on a hotel carpet.

    Chael, your first problem is asking taxi drivers. Youre obviously not a midwest city boy. Tax drivers are going to take you to tourist traps and they probably get a kick back from the restaurant for dropping you off there. What you need to do is find a heavy set local and ask them where the good pizza joints are. Many are the hole in the wall spots. You also get the most bang for your buck at those.

    in no way, shape or form did that even come remotely close to a good pizza, I award Chicago no points, and may god have mercy our soul.
