Deep dish pizza, I'm not so sure is going to find many fans in Rome. Just put a cover on top of it and call it a calzone, I guess.

He's a South Sider (Dolton) and South Side Chicago pizza is cracker-thin.

  Thin-crust (or "tavern style" as some call it) has been widespread across the city for quite awhile. > As of 2013, according to Grubhub data and the company Chicago Pizza Tours, thin-crust outsells the more widely known deep-dish style among locals, with GrubHub stating that deep-dish comprises only 9% of its pizza deliveries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago-style_pizza#Thin-crust_or_tavern-style_pizza https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago-style_pizza#Thin-crust...

    I'm not saying we own thin-crust Chicago pizza, just that deep dish was not a thing on the south side when he lived there (it wasn't in the 80s and 90s when I grew up there either).

      I ate Edwardo’s several times a month on the south side in the 80’s and 90’s, as did a sizable number of my friends. This is back before it became a chain (I guess technically the south side location was the second location, so it was already a chain) and they decided to take the best pizza on earth and make it mediocre-to-poor for a mass audience, which I guess happened in the early aughts? So there is at least an existence proof for deep dish very much a thing for south side kids when he was in the vicinity.

        He's apparently an Aurelio's guy (that's cracker-crust, for those not from the neighborhood).

        Ha! Good to know. Friday is our pizza day, and we usually go with one local to us (Capri's), but on occasion do Aurelio's. I think today we'll have to do Aurelio's.

Do people actually think deep dish is the only kind of pizza people eat in Chicago? I thought that was a meme.
