"probably has some elements borrowed from the Chicago style."

LOL - the exact opposite, actually.

Neopolitan is thin instead of deep-dish. The idea is to blast it at like 900 degrees, but only for 1-2 minutes, so they keep it thin so it can actually cook in that time.

That said, Chicago style 'deep dish' is a personal favorite too. In fact, it's been a while since I made some - maybe I should go find my spring-form pan again :)

I don't get the hate Chicago-style pizza gets. It's a different thing than neopolitan-style and New York-style. That's ok, they're just different, and I like all of them.

At some point it stops being pizza and is just... I don't know, a savory pie

Warning: funny and rude. But IMHO makes good points.

It's a casserole, not a pizza. That's what's wrong with it.

It's cultural change.

You fell for it ;)

It is interesting that people find cultural change so offensive. Is the term food protectionism?

Why is this downvoted? Lol this is clearly satire.
