Chicago Pizza - deep dish or thin crust?

The entrenched hegemony of deep dish pizza is being challenged by flaky, thin-crusted pizzas cooked in the wood-burning ovens of trendy near north trattorias.

because people from the east coast have some sort of complex about how their city is the best at everything and they were always the first to do everything. They have to argue about shit constantly. Especially when they move. I live in AZ and people from NY constantly bitch about how everything is better "back home"

This should have been called 'Pizza for Yuppies'... Chicago's not 'becoming' a thin-crust town... it always has been!! The deep dish is for tourists and people from Wisconsin. Every single Mom & Pop pizza joint in the city makes thin-crust pizza, and I'm not talking about that NY-Coney Island junk, I mean genuine Chicago-style, party cut, pizza.

This reporter must be from out of town.

I'm from New York City and I like thin crust pizza. Deep dish looks like something I just want to shit on.

I'm from the "Chicagoland area" (not from the city limits, get over it). To me, Chicago pizza isn't deep dish, thin crust, pan, upside down with a kung foo grip... When I bite into an awesome pie, it fills my entire mouth with flavor. It's nothing short of a food orgasm. It's all about the flavor, not the style.

@NYbeerdude What is Domino's? I'll tell ya: corporate pap from Ann Arbor, Michigan, that I wouldn't feed to my worst enemy's dog. (And the SOB that invented it sold the company for a billion dollars- which even as a Chicagoan I would have rather seen go to Mr. Lombardi or his family. Geez....New York or Chicago, I can understand. But to call that crap from Little Caesar's, Domino's or Pizza hut "pizza"? No way.

There are great thin crust purveyors in Chi Town, but I can't deal with that yuppie stuff. Try Father & Son (Milwaukee near Sacramento, just north of Fullerton) or Home Run Inn (35th and Kostner).
