    For those interested...

    Lou Malnati's father was the guy who invented deep dish chicago style pizza in the 1940s. He and Lou worked at Uno's together for about 20 years before Lou went out on his own and founded Lou Malnati's Pizzaria.

    Paxti's in Palo Alto and Zachary's in Berkeley are my favorite places, but I've never had Chicago-style IN Chicago so I can't comment if they are as good as the real-deal.

    I really like Zachary's. Not as good, however.

    You know, I don't remember their reaction at all...when I ordered it seemed reasonable and I wasn't paying attention. They had to know I was a tourist/new to Chicago though. Total noob move.

    Edit: Denny's picture nailed it. Chicago pizza versus NY "pizza" isn't even a conversation.

    I like it, I mean, bad pizza is still pizza. But if a place like Sbarros can nail the style.....

    many won't call Chicago Deep Dish a "pizza" but more of a pie.
