I've already said enough honest but controversial things about pasta, football, and pizza to be banned for life from entering Italy, so I might as well add this: Chicago style pizza is in fact quite good, despite my usual preference for thin crust pizza.

Me after seeing this post shitting on one of my favorite pizza styles: 😰😭💀
Me after seeing this comment getting all the well deserved upvotes: 🥹🥰🙂↕️
"Chicago Style" pizza isn't deep dish, it's square cut tavern style pizza. Yeah, deep dish isn't that great.
The hot dog is indeed Chicago style and it's good
I don't know what's in the lower left but it looks good
That's Italian beef in the lower right and it's really good.
So 1 out of 4 is Chicago style
Source: Lived here my whole life with over half of it in the city itself
Inside Chicago the thin tavern is “Chicago style” outside of Chicago deep dish is “Chicago style”
I know it sucks but you can’t change everyone’s mind.
I will throw hands over the disparagement of a hot beef dipped
My main problem with an Italian Beef is that a French dip requires a fraction of the ingredients but tastes just as good, if not better.
stuffed pizza is chicago style. lived here my whole life to. just because its not ordered all the time don't mean its not chicago.
I thought the square cut pizza was Detroit style?
Detroit style is a square pan pizza, pan being a very thick bready bottom. Chicago or tavern style is a thin crust round pizza that is cut into squares. I personally love Detroit style!
Everybody's allowed their opinion, but you can fuck all the way off talking shit about Chicago dogs! The combination of beef fankfurter, poppyseed bun, quality mustard, relish, chopped onion, tomato, sport peppers, celery salt... It sounds weird, but people who try it usually love them! You have to not be obsessed with ketchup though. One of the things I really miss from working in Chicago for a bit...
And when something is a crime against god and man we call it “Altoona-style”
I don't want to know what an Altoona-style hot dog would look like.
They soak the dog in ice water over night, and the bun is soggy. Served with cold hotdog water.
If you lived three or four centuries ago, you'd be burned at the stake as a demon, just for coming up with that.
Humanity is lucky there isn't a "Florida style" used nation wide.
That’s just meth.
Ok well no, it is not just meth. We can make fun of it without needing to make things up. Geez.
It's meth, and pepperoni. It's meth and hot wings. Meth with chicken and ranch. It's a whole lot of things. Not just meth!
I grew up in Florida. "Florida style" is just Cuban and sea food. The only quintessentially Florida thing I ever ate in Florida was fried gator. God I miss Cuban food.
I'll take a deep dish pie or that dog. Fuck y'all if you're a hater.
Detroit style deep dish is the best deep dish pizza, Chicago style is vomit lasagna in a cardboard cup, fight me!
I don't fight. Just eat. I'd be happy to eat a Detroit pie.
I feel like the food is really a strong point for Chicago? I get da Bears, totally, but the food? Not sure
Chicago has an incredible food scene across the entire cuisine spectrum and only 1 thing on the list is "Chicago Style" (the hot dog)
while I wouldnt consider it on the same tier as like nola/creole/cajun cuisine for example, but its distinctive enough to get a name.
Food IN Chicago is good. The use of "Chicago style" outside of Chicago is largely a label for "this shit sucks."
Chicago has some of the best food in the world. One week there and you have to let your belt out a notch.
Luckily I like things that suck.
Johnny's Beef, Gene and Jude's, Lou's.
Edit: Ricobenes breaded steak sandwich
I only ever hear people hate on deep dish who have never tried it (from a good restaurant) before 🤔
The food in any big city is really good
