Dough, Sauce, and Pepperoni. I love all pizza, doesn't matter where it's from.

I was right there with him until he brought the dogs into the fight, leave the dogs out of it, they got you on that one.

I'm the same...it's all good...and I don't get the "food rules" some people have like how certain toppings should not go on pizza or hot dogs.

If it tastes good shouldn't that be all that matters?

Exactly and how can a ton of dough and cheese taste bad to a human? People are just silly, shove it in your mouth just not too much and go for some walks please.

Only thing that bothers me about Chicago deep-dish is how "fashionable" it has become (I'm looking at your SF) when really, it is no-where near as good as a thin, crisp slice of super greasy New York cheese. In SF there are tons of these places masquerading as fine-dining when the corner "New York" pizza shop down the block, playing metal to their pet cockroaches whilst stoned out of their minds make better pie for less.

One "slice" of Chicago deep-dish and I feel like I'm going to fall asleep from a heart-attack.

No, it's not "all good". I'm with Jon on this one; "deep dish" pizza is an abomination unto the senses. It's like murder, well done steak or even worse, pineapple on a real pizza. It just shouldn't be done.

""deep dish pizza is an abomination unto the senses" as someone who has never had a Chicago Deep Dish pizza I still say bullshit. Obviously you don't like it but obviously millions of people do like it.

You haven't convinced me to never try it. I will make up my own mind if it tastes good or not.

If I like it then why shouldn't I eat it, enjoy it and tell others how good it is?

If I don't like it then who the fuck cares? It goes on the list of things I don't like. I just don't get that emotionally wrapped up in my food choices that I then need to pick sides and trash talk the food I don't like and the people who like it.

Oh and guess what...a pineapple and ham pizza is fucking good pizza!

Well, I have tried it, and it's fucking awful.

And millions of people like terrible things all the time. Twilight, Celine Dion, Nascar... popularity is no indicator of taste.

Finally, don't let the fact that I compared it to murder let you think that I was being anything other than 100% serious. Honestly, it's exactly equivalent to deliberately ending another human life.

i lived in chicago for a spell many years ago.
great people.
great music.
deep dish pizza can suck a dick.
though the hot dogs are pretty damn good,as are the brats (which i had never had before).
northeast pizza reigns supreme,deny this and you hate kittens and puppies.

why do you hate kittens and puppies?

Man...I miss Shakey's pizza-They had this uber-thin crispy-cracker crust and the ingredients in the late 70's (last time I saw Shakey's pizza open) were of a definably (through-taste-bud-memory), much higher quality. But maybe I've simply killed my taste buds from abuse...

I agree with whoever said essentially though, if you start with good pizza ingredients, you can't go too far south.

I too, dislike a ginormous amount of dough with a bite of pizza...thin-as-hell crust rocks-Stayed in Chicago for 2 months, never hadda slice of pizza-But I DID slam all-manner of Polish and German fare in small restaurants in the part of town I was staying in. Fresh bakeries of varied ethnicity is what I remember most-The BOMB is, fresh baked!

I do a deep-type dish pizza whenever I make a batch of dough and split it into two balls instead of three...But mines' not all runny and watery an shit like some glopstrosoties I've had...it's all in the water(vegetables) on the top-

Yeah, and fuck a buncha pineapple on pizza....maybe onna vacation camping-out as a have-to-I'm-famished boost...

Sorry...no one has said a single thing to convince me to sign on to their pizza religion.

It's just a bunch of dogma that you have bought into of how "you can't do this" and "you should never do that" with a pizza like its some sacred recipe that should never be tampered with.

Fuck the (pizza) Man!

Chicago Responds to Jon Stewart's Deep Dish Pizza Rant has been added as a related post - related requested by Grimm on that post.

@Grimm
i wasnt trying to convince you one way or the other.
i consumed both kinds of pizza.
new york>chicago pizza (the pan style.i agree with @chingalera on the thin crust pizza).
so its just my opinion.

all i was saying is if you liked chicago pan style you hated kittens and puppies.

so why do you hate kittens and puppies?
you cruel bastard.

You are correct...I will try most topping on my pizza...but I will not try kittens or puppies.
