Justice Scalia And Jon Stewart Concur Chicago Pizza Isn't Pizza

- Stewart

Back in 2012, the justice told the paper "it should be called a tomato pie." Explaining the difference meticulously, he noted that real pizza is from Naples, Italy. "It is thin, it is chewy, and crispy, OK?"

1. So that's why!!!

I went to Chicago once, and had their so called "Pizza".
I was not that in to it.

Now that I know how I should enjoy it, I think I now appreciate it more.

Thanks for educating me.

2. Never thought I'd agree w/ Scalia on anything.

But that glop ain't pizza.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

3. Well, American pizza ain't pizza if you go by Naples standards.

[blueamy66]

4. Amen.

Give me NY pizza anyday.

5. I'll take Chicago pizza,

and Chicago style hot dogs. I think you people in New York actually put ketchup on your hot dogs? Yuck!

[geardaddy]

7. Agreed.

Ketchup does not belong on hot dogs.

[blueamy66]

12. Ted's hot dogs in Buffalo are the best hot dogs in the world.

They are chargrilled and snap when you bite into them.

Heaven I tell ya....

6. Chicago pizza is Sicilian pizza

not Neopolitan.

[surrealAmerican]

8. It doesn't matter what you call it.

It's awesome!


... I even like New York style pizza - I grew up eating the stuff. Chicago deep dish is a whole different thing, but it's a very good different thing.

9. Chicago style pizza is gross, imo (nt)

10. Giordano's deep dish pizza is the BEST!

The original Chicago pizzeria restaurants that serve deep dish pizza are a great adventure too if you're ever in town.

11. As an impartial West Coaster here, let me state that NY pizza kicks Chicago casserole pizza's ass.

13. I think they are BOTH great STYLES of pizza...

As is Beau Jo's in Colorado. Odd but quite good:



(You eat the crust with HONEY! No wonder they legalized pot!)

15. OMFG!

*drowns keyboard in drool*

[The Second Stone]

14. If Scalia says it, it must be wrong

Scalia thinks that the Founding Fathers had one original intent fixed for all time. What a maroon.

[OmahaBlueDog]

16. If you've ever had Lou Malnati's or Giordano's -- the crust is crispy

There's just a lot of it to hold the massive amount of goodness atop the crust. But Chicago Deep Dish is not Pizza Hut pan style.
