Pizza Hut Deep Dish Pan Fried Pizza with pepperoni, italian sausage, mushrooms, and anchovies!

And a little spilt beer never hurts!

Whoever says "perception is reality" is daft. It's merely an abstraction, and often not a very good one.

I thought it was because the Italians in Chicago imported their version of the pizza, which became the standard for Chicago (unless you go to some place like Pizza Hut). The Chicago pizzas are almost identical to the pizzas you'll get in Italy.

I would also say that basil and rosemary and fundamental to most pizzas. The classic basil-ladden margherita is sublime. I always have some basil in my backyard.

For the records, I must say that Sao Paulo city is one of the best places in the world for a pizza.

What's not?

Anchovies seem to be one of those things that have no middle ground - either you love them or you hate them. I love them.

Sausage, pepperoni, onion and olives. I don't get the concept of pineapple with cheese...

It´s funny. Mixing salt and sweet ingredients down here makes a "California pizza" [pineapple, apple, bacon, olives, onions, herbs...]. People seem to suppose that Californians do that all the time.

Your mistake is being near, and not IN Chicago (pizza aquisition wise). In the burbs or outstate (anywhere outside the belt expressways) the best you can hope for are good imitations.

NYC pizza happened by accident. Chicago style pizza was designed for greatness. Nowhere else should they even be allowed to call it pizza, . . . or anything that rhymes with pizza.

I had a pizza at a resort in the Caribean once. (Long ago, before the chains even got there). I thought "Hmm, they have pizza? Have to give it a try." Big mistake. I ordered a sausage pizza. For sausage they had taken something like a ring of kielbasa and put big diagonal slices (like sliced green beans) ON TOP OF THE CHEESE! Sheesh.

Wow, not many veggie lovers here! Well, quite a few of you like them on your pizzas, but only a couple prefer theirs *without* any meat or seafood!

I'd be happy with just cheese pizza for the rest of my life. My #1 topping used to be pepperoni, but I'm trying to avoid it as much as possible to stay at least a *little* healthier when I eat pizza--at least once a week. It has to have crushed red pepper on it, though!

In college my roommate and her boyfriend and I would occasionally order pizza-but I dont' know why we bothered with toppings. I'd want only meat, my roommate would prefer no meat but loaded with vegetables, which I do not like on a pizza. And her boyfriend hated pepperoni, and wanted ham and pineapple which the other two of us detested! It was always such a chore.

You mean I can get a good New York style pizza in Chicago? Where?!? As for "Chicago Style" (and I use the term "style" loosely) pizza, I have a Giordano's pretty close, and they invented Chicago style pizza. It still sucks. It sucks because it is Chicago style pizza.

Then why has it taken so long to figure out the design was a failure?

Meat lovers or Hawaiian.

I hate anchovies.

Hi Blondy, welcome to the forum!

Hi straight back at ya Wurm Stern! Extreme Astronomy? LOL. Whats that mean?

You know I visited the States once and loved it but I thought the pizzas a bit thin. All cheese and not a lot of topping. Looked like a few scattered cabanossi slices. Thin ones too. Is that usual? I like my pizzas stacked! Luckily it doesn't seem to affect my waistline. Lol.

Just another name...I didn't pick it.

Personally I like my pizza thin, and loaded with toppings. Peppers, onions, fungus...anything but fish.

The same seems to be true for Hawaiian pizza. People either love pineapples or hate them. I grew up on Hawaiian pizza, and is still my favorite to this day.

Nothing better than that sweet juicy flavour just bursting with every bite.

I wonder, is this something peculiar to Milwaukee/SE Wisconsin, or do other people do this too?

Most pizzerias here cut their pizzas into small rectangular slices, even if the pizza is round. Some national chains (Sbarro's for instance) do not do this. I've never seen a round pizza cut into anything other than wedges outside Milwaukee.

Weird, huh?

There's a place called Domenico's in Pasadena, California, that does it, too, though obviously not every piece is quite rectangular.
