Dude. Of Course – Chicago Pizza! — 2 Comments

  1. Haha, I\’m writing about Chicago-style pizza tomorrow: it\’s National Deep Dish Pizza Day!

    I would have to agree that Chicagoans will come to blows over which pizza is the best, but is there really one right answer?

    I still remember my first deep-dish pizza, which was from Giordano\’s (my cool Chicago aunt\’s favorite). It was actually a vegetarian pizza with just cheese, spinach and sauce, and it was SO GOOD. She sent me some Lou Malnati\’s pizzas in the mail, and while they are still pretty tasty, they are just not the same as that Giordano\’s spinach pizza I have built up in my mind like Proust\’s perfect madeleine!

    • Ha! I love Proust\’s madeleine as an example. I only recently discovered Proust\’s work and it\’s had a deep effect on me, so it made me smile to read your comment.

      I had Giordano\’s spinach and I agree it\’s something else. But I actually prefer sausage deep dish, and my personal favorite for that is Lou Malnati\’s. There\’s something about their sausage that I adore. Granted, my waistline doesn\’t, which is why I limit my exposure to it these days, lol. But yeah – pizza is something about which Chicagoans get passionate!
