Episode Details

Deep-dish pizza is polarizing for tourists, newbies, and longtime Chicagoans. It’s mockingly referred to as a casserole rather than pizza, but some love the thick, crusty base filled with gooey cheese and topped with sauce. Most Chicagoans will tell you it’s not their go-to and that “real” Chicagoans opt for thin crust, tavern-style pizza. Host Jacoby Cochran talks to some deep dish fans and foes and pushes back on what it even means to be a “real” Chicagoan. Plus, some spots to check out if you’re fan.
