Why is that funny or surprising? Boston is not known for its deep dish; that is Chicago.
Yeah, a bit off the rails right now.
Thought Chicago was known for the weird-ass sauce on top of the cheese pizza.
That's "Detroit".
Nah, you're mistaken, making a mislabeled pasta that is mislabeled as pizza is firmly a Chicago thing!
Detroit Deep Dish is an excellent thicc and crunchy crusted cheese-carmelized indulgence born of factory workers, whist Chicago "pizza" is a shit lasagna the domain of disappointed tourists and locals too dense to realize the sauce goes under the cheese!
No, Detroit has (optionally) a couple lines of sauce on top, and most places I know that make Detroit style skip the sauce lines. Chicago style has sauce on top of the entire thing.
Though I just looked it up and it looks like there are multiple different "Chicago style" definitions.
Chicago style is a kiddie pool of a crust filled with an alarming miasma of sauce and toppings (bafflingly, placed under the sauce). It’s more of a “savory pie” than a “pizza-pie”. Great for if you want to drown a toddler in a food item; not so great for folding up and eating as you walk around town.
They can be tasty. I just object to them being classified with the rest of the pizza genus, because they’re wildly different in terms of construction to any other pizza species.
It's a casserole
Pizza means pie.
Pizza means pizza. Pie in Italian is torta or crostata
Chicago gives a dark name to deep dish. In that cursed city, they misname their shitty lasagna so!
