    These trains would run at capacity all the time, being full of New Yorkers going to Chicago to get good pizza and immediately returning.

      New Yorkers: 😠

      Italians: 😠

      Hawaians: 🍍

      Everyone else: 😠 (for some reason everybody looks very invested in the pizza debate)

      I like your boldness anyway

        Deep pan, thin crust, round, square, folded, oily and greasy, masterpiece renaissance gluten art, who cares, it’s all good!

        Be a pizza slut, not a pizza prude!

          Pizza is pizza. But Chicago style is a casserole. They should just call it a Chicago casserole to avoid confusion. I can’t imagine the fury of someone ordering a pizza and getting a bread bowl of marinara sauce instead.

            chicago has two types of pizza, the ‘deep dish’ you’re referring to, and the thin and crispy (tavern-style) cut in squares. pretty much only tourists eat the deep dish. locals usually go for the thin crust, maybe the other once a year.

              fuck, I miss those thin crust Chicago tavern-style pizzas, and I’ve never even visited Chicago! I can’t seem to find any good ones withing a reasonable distance from where I live in a medium-sized city in a very major metropolitan area. It’s very frustrating.

      I hope one day the rest of the world will learn that Chicago deep dish is a gimmick, and what people in Chicago just call “pizza” is a completely different thing that’s way better.

        What Americans call pizza in general is already a completely different thing, discussions if it’s better or worse completely aside.

      The one form of pizza I refuse to acknowledge is deep dish. It’s a tomato pepperoni stew in a bread bowl with too much cheese.

        It must be incredibly sad to go through life oblivious to the existence of pies.

        And a shitty casserole at that. Because a good casserole has cheese on the top.
