It's the platonic ideal of pizza.
You could even say itβsβ¦iconic π
im just gunna leave this homemade beauty
its a giordanos reverse engineered deep dish... 2lbs of cheese
They said βpizzaβ, not βtomato soup bread bowlββ¦
J/k - looks epic. Sad I didnβt get a chance to try a real Chicago style deep dish pizza on my first trip earlier this year πβ¦
its a cracker crust!
to me, this is why pizza is called a 'pie' its a big ol' meat and cheeese pie. theres something weird about the sauce being on top that makes the whole thing work
if you ever get to a state with a giordanos please give it a try, its the epitome of deep dish (imho). i spent a year learning to making a carbon copy after i moved away.
I know Chicago really blurs the line between "deep dish" and straight up "casserole", but this is a whole new level. What even is this? I'm both intrigued and mildly horrified.
Ah man I miss Giordano's. A good reason to go back to Chicago again... Aside from all the other good reasons, anyway.
Detroit style!
My favorite type of pizza is "nearby and warm," though I'll happily settle for "nearby"
Thin crust with extra pineapple and nothing else. π
No, but seriously, my favorite are the thin-ish crust ones my wife makes with fresh dough, with regular sauce, mushrooms, and olives on it.
Back in the day (haven't tried it in over a decade), pizza hut made really good deep dish pineapple pizzas. The crust was crunchy and just shy of being too greasy and I loved it. But I also love pineapple, so.
I joked about pineapple on pizza before. But honestly, I don't really mind it. Even without ham, a little bit of pineapple tastes okay to me.
Personally I'm partial to free pizza.
Detroit style. The crispy corner pieces!
The best pizza place near me does a goat's cheese, balsamic onion, and rocket one that's absolutely stellar. To be honest though I'm not super fussy about toppings, I like this pizzeria more because whatever you order, they use good ingredients and cook it perfectly
I like a good buffalo chicken pizza with red onions, slathered in blue cheese
Medium crust, Hawaiian. Extra onions
Olives, sundried tomatoes and italian sausage.
I'm glad there haven't been any pervs saying cheese pizza...
I really hope the people below this are just naive, and not actually pedophiles
It's me, I'm the perv.
Perv here. Gimme a plain cheese all day every day!
Kebabpizza
If we're talking absolute favorite, then I'm a Chicago deep dish kinda person. White or pesto sauce, cheese, artichokes, onions, tomatoes, grilled chicken, spinach, bacon, maybe some more meat or veg. Gimme that and a fork and knife and I'll be very happy.
Caramelized onions, thinly sliced potato, fontina cheese (no tomato, mozz, etc.). I made it among other pizzas for Thanksgiving one year and it was the best by leaps and bounds.
A simple NY style slice with extra cheese. Maybe some Buffalo sauce to dip in if I'm feeling fancy
I've been obsessed with prosciutto, asparagus and onion lately but I made an onion, fennel and Italian sausage the other day that was really nice.
Definitely Chicago style, even if I can only eat it one time a year without my heart destroying itself it's still my favorite
margherita pizza, followed by trashy pizza.
trashy pizza
Iβm going to assume you didnβt mean this trashy but I stand by a Totinoβs Party Pizza cooked on a Presto Pizzazz Pizza Oven being epically underrated trashy pizza option.
I love greek pizza which is a white pizza with garlic, onions, spinach, feta cheese, and olives. But the place that made that best closed. I also like a bacon cheeseburger pizza, which is just bad for me.
Ok, not necessarily my favorite but I want to shout out a Tandoori BBQ Chicken pizza I had the other day. It was like a standard BBQ chicken pizza (which, admittedly stretches the definition of pizza) and throws Indian food on it.
My favorite right now is also somewhat blasphemous; I fancy a good spicy pepperoni square pizza, done up Detroit style (but marketed Sicilian). Buttery, crispy crust, truly splendid.
Quick edit: y'all are also splendid. Great tastes all around!
Tuna
It's pretty common in Europe amd Italy itself, but for some reason not so much in the rest of the world. Especially with thinly sliced onions on top.
Also, Sujuk
It's like pepperoni, but a lot better
Lahmacun (Turkish Pizza).
The dough is so thin, you roll it up to eat it.
Pepperoni and sausage with no cheese.
Edit: clearly big dairy has gotten to you all.
None pizza, left beef.
Cheese with both hot sauce and ranch, or black olive and pineapple. It's great because no one ever wants to steal any of my pizza.
Plain NY slice from the window on the counter. Something about that 2nd heat up really brings the crisp out.
Okay this'll sound strange but hear me out. Red sauce base, kalamata olives, vegan feta, and lots of fresh mint. I've never been fancy enough to make my own pizza dough but when I'm assembling a pizza that's my go-to. It's so good.
I also have an unhealthy mint addiction btw
Broccoli, garlic, and ricotta, extra crispy so the broccoli gets a little scorched.
Thin crust Italian style pizza, topped with tomato sauce, walnuts, thinly sliced Italian ham, and a mix of gorgonzola and mozzarella chunks. Heaven.
