You can order Lou's for nationwide shipping. The standard and customary suburban Chicagoland style served up here by locals to their friends and family are giant "regular" or "thin" crust local pies in extreme quantities. with a "veggie" , a GF, a cheese and a sausage and/or pepperoni. The sausage and pepperoni is actually good.

This Delaware resident grew up in the Chicago suburbs. Part of growing up in the 1960s was special evenings in the Loop, all of us going to join my father when he got off work, and dinner in the pizza place across the street, Pizzeria Due (but a block away from the original Uno, to handle the overflow). It's still a favorite (and the national franchise version actually isn't bad -- not quite the same, but better than any local alternative I'm likely to find). Also, my standard birthday dinner (2 days after Christmas) was takeout from Edwardo's in Skokie. Yum!

The traditional deep dish / stuffed pizza and then there is a thin crust pizza cut in 3 inch squares (tavern style / party style) As a person born and raised in Chicago I can tell you most people I know eat the thin crust. Doesn't mean we don't love or eat deep dish. I just mean they are 2 different things yet they are both called pizza.. My favorite Deep dish pizza is Giordanos and Lou Malnatti. For thin crust pizza it's hard to say because there are so many good ones Too many to name. but my most frequent one is Panino's

Bread- Pizza crust Meat - Pepperoni, sausage Vegetables - olives, onions, tomato sauce Three important parts of anyone's diet.

As long as the pizza has pizza on it, its just fine! Edit edit: Exception - no pineapple. Pineapple is good with vanilla ice cream or on a pineapple upside-down cake, but not on pizza.

The real Chicago pizza we residents prefer is crispy thin crust.

If every you find yourself in the Minneapolis area, Frankie's specializes in a decent Chicago-style pizza. All ingredients are always fresh, never frozen. And while I love the Chicago style, there is one that I prefer more is the Sicilian style. It's rectangular (and we do love our rectangles here in America), baked in a shallow pan, so it can support a heavier load of toppings like the Chicago style, and those corner pieces have the loveliest extra bit of crunchy edge for people who, like me, are fond of the crust. Similarly, there are lots of toppings I love, including a few dessert pizzas (can't wait for you to review those), but my favorite savory combo is; Sicilian crust, garlic Alfredo sauce instead of tomatoes, roasted garlic, mushrooms, chicken, roasted broccoli, black olives, mozzarella, and crumbled Parmesan crisps after it's done baking. Now, if this seems like a health food take, looks can be deceiving. I make my Alfredo sauce with a stick of butter, a cup of cream, and a cup of fresh-grated Parmesan. It's roughly as fatty as a blue whale. The healthy bits are just there to balance the nutritional scales and give the sauce more things to cling to. #yum

I love Chicago style pizza - but as a native, I didn’t grow up on deep dish, but tavern style thin crust. I grew up with sausage, peppers, onions and mushrooms on top and still prefer those toppings. If I’m having deep dish in Chicago I’m going to Pequods and Pequods only.

If you want another food gate video you can try Hawaiian pizza, otherwise know as pineapple and ham. 😈

love me some Hawaiian pizza! Only one in my house who does, so we never order it.

Hawaiian pizza was invented by a Canadian. Hate it or love it ?

[@Sgt_SealCluber]

@@victorwaddell6530 Close enough. 😛

Hawaiian pizza is delicious, even though it's actually from Canada, I love it!

My family's from the New York area originally, and I have been to Chicago. I've had both authentic New York-style and Chicago deep dish. Of the two of them... perhaps I'm biased, but I liked New York pizza much more. It's not to say that the deep dish was bad-- it's just a much different approach than I grew up with. Chicago deep dish is too crunchy and bulky for my taste, and while I see the logic of burying the cheese beneath the sauce for that technique, it's just not my thing. I don't begrudge people who prefer the deep dish, though. The sad thing in my case is, I really can't eat either anymore (or pizza from any other restaurant), due to medical issues that arose a few years ago. The only pizza I can still eat now is self-prepared, homemade pizza using special crusts and non-fat feta. It's still better than you'd think, but it's certainly not on the level of a genuine New York-style pizza.

New York Style and a good Italian style pizza are delicious. My father owned an Italian restaurant/pizzeria when I was younger. My favorite toppings on a pizza are black olives and tomato,just so good👌 🇮🇹 🍕 . I've never had Chicago-style pizza. To be honest it looks too thick. Like way too much dough.

Renee Salazar Your right, and also NYC is my favorite too :) NY pizza is the only way to go!

If you thought the PB&J video brought out the best of the internet, just wait for this one to circulate.

As I've gotten older, heartburn is something that's been popping up more.

Deep Dish is for tourists or foreigners that we only have on special ocassion or when out of town relatives visit. Real Chicago pizza is Chicago Thin Crust Pub Style pizza. That is the everyday pizza you will find everywhere.

Any pizza with PINEAPPLE is fine by me!

[@ldycemnn]

Panzerotti is my favorite type. Never heard of this. Simply put... small plain pizza uncooked, folded in half and deep fat fried.. it's a south Jersey thing
