Sure, The Windy City is home to famous deep dish establishments like Giordano’s and Lou Malnati’s.
And, of course, we Chicagoans have eaten there at some point or another.
However, contrary to popular belief, deep dish is not the most widely consumed pizza in the city.
It should be announced to visitors from speakers atop Willis Tower and on every L station platform that deep dish is NOT the go-to choice for locals.
Why the media often pits Chicago deep dish vs. New York pizza in gastronomical debates is beyond me.
Ask anyone who grew up or lived in the Chicago area for any extended period of time.
