I thought the square cut pizza was Detroit style?

[–] bran_buckler@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

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!

It is, and it is an actual pizza, so much better than the Chicago damp lasagna on bread they call deep dish

It is but it's pan pizza, not thin crust. And it's made a bit differently.

Chicago style is basically just normal pizza. Good but nothing to write home about

That's the problem. Everywhere has thing crust pizza cut into squares. But that deep dish italian pot-pie of amazing is worth claiming imo. I love the deep dish Chicago style pizza, but rarely can find it outside of Chicago.

Yeah it's pretty good but it's like....If you're in the mood for deep dish, you get deep dish. If you're in the mood for pizza, deep dish isn't an option.

I can see that. Like if I'm craving "pizza" that wouldn't satisfy the craving.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Exactly. It's also heavy and isn't great cold which makes it a pretty bad party food, too
