I am always puzzled that nobody can seem to pin down what the term Chicago Pizza means.

Does it mean deep dish?

Does it mean stuffed pizza?

Above, sloride describes a version of "Chicago Pizza" which sounds like what they serve in Minneapolis.

I have never been to Chicago, but there is a place in Oakland, CA called Zachary's which serves what they claim to be Chicago pizza. It has a thin crunchy lower crust, then the put in a lot of cheese, then they put a super thin additional layer of dough (which kind of disappears into the cheese), and then the do "toppings", and then they do sauce. The sauce is a little runny on top.

So is that downtown chicago tourist pizza that I am describing, or is it real honest chicago-style pizza?

I did like that last night on Jon Stewart they pretty much all agreed that CA pizza is the worst. haha!
