Emily was right with that one 😒. Lou Malnati’s is....underwhelming at best.

Seriously. Giordano’s is disgusting. Lou Malnati’s any day

My family in Chicago made me try so much deep dish when I lived there, and none of it was worth it 😬. So it’s probably the whole concept that doesn’t work for me.

I will never have a desire to eat deep pan pizza. I could just have mozzarella sticks and a side of marinara instead so I don't make a fucking mess and the dough isn't soggy

I hope they make more jokes about this restaurant in the second season.

Seriously though, even though she's dissing the pizza place, hello free publicity, why you mad LM?

[aprilonestt]

They are generating even more publicity with this

[onyxobsidian]

Yeah, they could have gone with the fun quipping "we challenge you to try it!" but people would much rather share the story if someone is playing the victim

I don’t think I’ve ever had a deep dish pizza. 🤔

I want to say I’d like it. I mean it is pizza after all right? Iono.

it's weird to me. the tomato sauce is the top layer and there's usually a lot of it. it doesn't hold its structure like a typical slice of pizza. any chicago-style deep dish i've had is impossible to eat without a fork and knife. i wouldn't say it's terrible, but i was born on long island, so ny-style pizza is what i was raised on and is my pref.

In Brazil a lot of people eat regular pizza using a knife and fork (myself included), my american friend was so weirded out by that lol That and the fact we have pizza with pieces of boiled eggs.

i actually also eat my pizza with a fork and knife because i don't like to get my fingers dirty when eating. i also don't like bone-in wings or ribs for this reason. but it's impossible to eat chicago-style deep dish without a fork and knife like you can with other pizza. it's like a deep dish savory pie. the filling will run all over.

i'm going to be in chicago this weekend and part of my plan was to have deep dish so i think i might go there. i've never had deep dish, i like that it looks like a cake.

No no no, go to Pequod's.

[regina]

Ooh yes, I still think about the pizza at Pequod’s.

Get square-cut thin pizza, aka the actual Chicago style.
