A deep dish pizza is supposed to have like 2 or 3 inches of toppings on top of a crust with high sides to keep it all in. I know folks call thick crust pan pizza's 'deep dish', but it really isn't. 

def my favorite. When kids were little I use to eat the crust and kids would eat the pizza lol 

I love Caesar's version as well. Walmart around here has the frozen Giordano ones, maybe none in your area. :( 

Lol this is evil 😂 

Yum 

This is a great place for deep dish pizza. And if you ever get the chance to go here, it's awesome. I don't know if they have more than one location, but I went to the original. http://chicagopizzaandovengrinder.com/history/ 

My favorite part! 😍🤤 

yum 

and a water please... I'm watching my weight🤣 

People give me crap for getting a diet Coke with my fast food meals lol. It saves me 300 calories. No laughing matter haha 

It's the old SNL skit 

I used to think it was weird, but I totally get it now, D. :) 

Gahhh I wish I could eat like that! Well, I can but I pay for it LOL 

man, made the mistake of watching the video on the pizza pot pie. totally going to make that this weekend. I know there's no way it'll be nearly as good, but I'm going to give it a shot. 

I am actually planning on doing it. although I'm going to have to use mozzarella cheese and the crust will be made in the bread maker during the day. i can already make a mean Bolognese. that would be a great party dish for a potluck. although i wouldn't want to be experimenting at that point. bed time, good thing I swam my butt off tonight. 

I used to think that was stupid to ask for a diet coke while eating calorie dense food, last year I started drinking them, and saving my calories, now that I am also caffeine free, I drink water at the restaurant, I am scared to ask, if they have caffeine free diet coke. 🤯🤣 I drink them at home.  

I figure, if I'm going to blow my diet on pizza, I'm going to do it right, the CHICAGO WAY - LOU MALNATIS!!!! BEST IN THE ENTIRE WORLD :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cH_ymnmarRU  

What LZenn said. That's not a real deep dish. That said, you're not missing much. Picture about an inch each of dough that can't rise, cheese that can't brown, and tomatoes that haven't been seasoned or pureed, baked off like a casserole. It's not awful, but it is this Bizarro World dish where they do the opposite with each ingredient of what makes it good. 

(I grew up in the pizza belt, come at me bro) 

Yesterday had pizza 🍕🤤
