As an Australian, I’m sorry but I have to say, that’s a pie.
I have never seen a “pizza” with a deep crust and that much toppings.
That’s not even toppings at this point, it’s fillings, and fillings go in things, not on pizza!
I’m sure it was delicious though.

Fucking Texas giving us the heretic that developed Deep Dish casserole. Everytime I've had it it has either been charcoal or still raw

Yucking your yum. Burnt plus goopy deep dish.

Looks disgusting. That thing has an absolutely absurd amount of sauce, no visible cheese or toppings (inclusions?) and yeah, it's also burnt.

No thanks.

There is 1-1/2lbs of cheese, 1lb of Italian sausage and a whole bell pepper under the sauce

Don't waste your breath explaining your meal to a group of users that consider chicken nuggets the best in the world. This site is full of adult size children that still eat like garbage.

Looks a bit well done, but I love well done pizzas. Fuck the "deep dish" haters. Pizza's pizza. They don't all have to be the same. I see people hating on this, that, or the other style of pizza and all I hear is "oh no my comfort zone! *childish whining about wanting chicken nuggies and mac&cheese*"

I mean, deep dish or not, it looks unappetizing, but it's pretty likely that's up to the lighting.

Born & raised in the Logan Square neighborhood of Chicago, I LOVE Deep-Dish & all sorts of pizza with all sorts of toppings. When people cry "It's not authentic or real Italian food", I tell them neither was the tomato. That's from the "New World" but was added to foods & those foods changed. Just like pizza changes all the time. Foods like Chocolate, Corn, Pineapples, Potatoes & Tomatoes all came from the New World & changed meals forever. Nothing is authentic

Pizza is pizza is pizza, but most Chicagoans prefer thin crust tavern style cut pizza. They reserve the deep dish pizzas for out of town visitors. That said, I agree with you. I love all pizza.

I’m from Chicago and live on the west coast now. I make the traditional pub style thin crust regularly. I got the deep dish tin for Christmas and had to use it

Maybe you should take them out to dinner first?

Ohio Valley and Altoona stand in defiance of your claim (yes, that uncooked toppings and is theoretically ready to eat)

I'd eat that... begrudgingly... while staring at the person serving it as if they're the laziest cook ever.

I heard this from somebody that claimed to grow up with this pizza, but apparently the cheese is put on right out of the oven, and usually melts pretty quickly from the residual heat. Still weird though.

It is delicious, but it is casserole. Fight me.

It's clearly pie

Ah, someone who doesn't understand what a casserole is. For starters, casseroles are baked in ceramic pans. This is baked in a metal one. There is a difference and it does matter for more than just definition.
If Chicago Deep Dish is a casserole, then it's only by the loosest definition of "any combination of ingredients baked with a pan" in which case all pizza is a casserole, and so is apple pie.

Indeed, if anything this is a pie. I've seen some people insist that it's a tart because it lacks a top crust. However, in modern usage, as well as recipes at least as far back as the 1700s, there are plenty of dishes that are referred to as pies that lack a top crust.

Thing is, some versions of it DO have a top crust. The "Stuffed Pizza" for example.
I've seen people refer to Chicago Deep Dish as a lasagna and I'm just like "ah, someone who doesn't know the difference between a flat noodle and a yeast leavened dough"

What would you say if I said that pasta is bread?
