Had my first ever Chicago-style pizza today.

This is the only reason I ever want to visit Chicago. And America at all.

As a German, I wish I could get pizza like this...

The sauce is my least favorite part of a pizza. As far as I'm concerned the lighter it's applied the better the slice. This. Is a nightmare.

Looks a lot like theirs, but i've only had delivery. They use those gino's style red plates?

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Only one of the plates were red.

Gino's East?

9 years ago | Likes 23 Dislikes 4

Let it be known that Gino's ships their pizzas around the continental US. It's a bit pricey but worth it if you can't get to Chicago

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Those red plates are the kind they use. Other places do too, but it's almost like a signature for them.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

We actually got one red plate and two white ones.

All round pizzas are πr2 at their base. Although, now I want a lattice of crust on top of a Chicago style pizza pie.

IDC how good it might taste, it looks like it's already been eaten once.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 3

At least it probably still tastes good. St Louis style is probably the biggest abomination as far as pizza goes.

I was looking for this comment. God, I hate that place so much. They need to learn how to make real pizza instead of that travesty.

I must've got screwed when I went to Giordano's last year then... There was like a full on inch of crust above the cheese/sauce.

And the crust shouldn't be that thick.

Wrong.

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 2

It is required to be on top otherwise everything under it will burn due to the long cooking time. Also that is a proper pizza right there.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

It's always been a bit off-putting to me, but I would eat the shit out of it either way.
