I don't have a problem with deep dish pizza; just Chicago style deep dish pizza. Not only is the sauce on top, it's marinara sauce and is added cold.
it's marinara sauce and is added cold.
It does get heated up when they put the whole thing in the oven you know. Not disputing your dislike of Chicago style deep dish pizza, love what you love and hate what you hate it's all good. But I don't want anybody to be confused about how hot or cold these pizzas are when you receive them.

My one and only encounter with chicago pizza was enough to convince me I hated it. Doesn't mean it's bad though, just definitely not for me. I think it would be better called a casserole than a pizza.

That's not pizza.
Chicago "pizza" is more of a casserole in a sort of bread bowl really.
I mean that's fine I'm not saying it's bad but I am saying it isn't "pizza."
Does it have bread, cheese, and sauce? Then I'm going to love eating it, don't really care what you call it
you mean italian food?

It's amazing how pizza was perfected somewhere between 100 and 200 years ago and then every city in America has decided they need to make it worse in innovative and unique ways.
By the gods it's the fucking train of food. Here's perfection now make it more expensive, harder to build, and somehow worse. Quick get Adam Something to make a video on this.
Italian immigrants came up with most of those different styles of pizza. You can hate them, but the people who invented them were Italian.
If they are born in America they are American.
Even if they were born in Italy they are still American, but they are Italian immigrants. Ric Riccardo was a first generation Italian immigrant. Modern Chicago deep dish is likely a modified version of what he served in his pizzeria, but he did still invent it.

I feel like it’s important to me to learn whether the sauce is actually good. I’m terrified that it’s bland. It looks bland. I cannot see any spices or herbs. This is stressing me out more than it should.
depends on where you go, good places will have a well seasoned marinara. you can also usually see the herbs and spices they've used

They are under the plate.
It's a fairly spicy marinara.
I like my pizza like I like my coffee, with no cheese.
