deep dish pizza baby, that's the only way to level the playing field, they sell it by the slice too, by the way John, it won't be 99 cents, I take big bites of pizza, that's the only way to do it in my opinion, so They brought that pizza fresh out of the oven.

All the flavors combine very well. I asked him to have a second bite with deep dish pizza. Now there are two debates outside the city. The debate is whether this pizza is real or not and of course, all of you. We know the infamous Jon Stewart ran and says it's not pizza, we'll ignore it because the fact of the matter is that this is pizza point. Now within the city there is a debate whether real Chicagoans eat deep dish pizza and the answer is. It depends personally, if I'm not filming for the channel I go for that tavern style pizza that most people eat growing up, that's what my family ordered almost every time I have friends and family come to town.

Yes, they want deep dish so we'll take them to Luz, Gino's or Jordano's because that's usually where they want to go so I oblige them, but there are other locals who eat deep dish pizza regularly, it just depends on your own taste. Obviously, all of these deep dish pizzerias aren't going to survive on

ist dollars alone. It's been a cold and snowy weekend, so a nice, hot, deep-dish pizza pie is perfect for feeding the soul. When you have a big slice of pie and the cheese and sauce are oozing everywhere, you'll probably want use a fork and knife, but once you get to the end of the pizza you can just lift the crust this way and do it, the crust goes from golden to brown in a nice gradient.

That tomato sauce is a beautiful red color. You can tell they use fresh tomatoes here. So much cheese that it just oozes out when you cut it. It's time for the first official qualification. We're going to rate the crust, cheese, sauce, and Italian sausage. Fair for the dough, I'd say four out of five. I liked it under the pizza, but once I got to the end and started eating the dough, it wasn't as good for me. The sauce, I have to give it a five out of five. a little spicy flavor the tomatoes taste very fresh for the cheese.

I'm going to have to say four out of five it was nice and sticky, but it lacked a little flavor, like a little bite, but the sausage. I have to give it a five out of five, it's something unique for me, like seeing the big chunks of Italian sausage in there, the taste was perfect and every flavor of everything came together well, so overall it's going to be a great piece of pizza . By comparing all these different deep dish pizzas, we will find the best one for all of you. We have a nice square bite. There is almost a little bit of sweet flavor.

Some pizzas look like hamburgers. Some have small sparks. These are like giant pieces of sausage. I got so excited when Lewis was cutting the pizza because I saw cheese oozing out of the sides, we couldn't get the cheese to stop oozing, there was so much flavorful cheese. I also like that it's not very heavy, sometimes the crust can feel very dense and this one actually feels a little light, let's try the crust. I'm ready to give my ratings of Bartoli's deep dish pizza for the crust. I'm going to say five. I really love the outside, it reminds me of cornbread.

There is a little. a little bit of sweetness to the sauce, I'm going to give it a super solid four, really nice flavor, okay, so when I look at the cheese I want to be like five when I taste it, it tastes solid, I'm looking for a little bit like Wow, I'll say four, the sausage is delicious, but I'll give it a three. We're definitely off to a flying start. Bartoli's deep dish pizza was amazing, but it's time for our next stop on the Chicago deep dish pizza

tour

. we have paisanos in the Rush and Division neighborhood it's a cold and windy day yesterday it snowed a ton so I'm ready for a deeper dish let's go in paisano's was founded by rudy malnati jr in 1991 and today they have four locations in

chicago

we have a plate pizza Half Deep with Cheese and Sausage Rudy Malnati Junior, as you may have guessed, is the son of Rudy Marnardi Senior, who we'll talk about later in the movie, so make sure you keep a lock for that, we've got a nice slice right here. lots of sauce melted cheese I could see a piece of sausage Italian seasonings the crust looks golden and delicious why am I still talking?

Let's dig into this deep dish slice of pizza, you pick up the slice and the cheese and sausage will fall everywhere as it heats up, let's see in this cold, you want to use a fork and knife, trust, come on, wow, that's amazing, God mine, that crust is nice and crispy even though it's on the bottom of the pan, there's something about this crust that's a little bit crispier. I really love that, of course, like pizza is incredibly delicious. Keep in mind that I worked my legs before, so I gained a lot of appetite. Also keep in mind that this is not fast food.

When you walk into a deep dish pizzeria you have to wait 35.40 minutes for that pie to bake to perfection, so keep that in mind, they'll tell you it takes 35 minutes, that's fine, but of course, that's fine, you can't speed up perfection, this is almost like a tavern type. crispy to the crust and you have big chunks of sausage in there. The tomato sauce is actually very tasty. There are also Italian seasonings all over the top. A nice finishing touch. Now that it's a deep dish, I'm not sure why, but I feel like it tastes different. When you cut it with a fork and knife versus when you hold it in your hand and eat it, put it in the comments below if you have the same feeling when you eat it in a deep plate, that's what you call a beautiful slice. pizza the atmosphere of this place is so fun there are Chicago sports memorabilia all over the walls I see a picture of Jordan back there they make the pizza dough fresh every day and they even have a gluten free option these tomatoes are so red, so red Oh my goodness, my first bite of this pizza was amazing.

I could taste the sweetness of the tomatoes and sausage. It has a lot of flavor. The crust is nice and crispy like Louis. I'm really enjoying the extra spices. It is fun. Trying all of these different deep dish pizza places is a unique experience and I'm so glad to be able to share it with you. This is my first country pizza and I'm not disappointed when you see the layers of the crust. I'm going. with a four I really love how it is very nice and crispy underneath the pizza on the edges nice and crispy it falls apart I have to give five stars to the sauce it is amazing the tomatoes are sweet the sausage I will give it a four flavor delicious now for the cheese, I'll give it a four too.

Okay, I got my second slice. I had two slices at Bartoli's, so it's only fair to have two slices at each location before I get my rating. The pizza has cooled down. enough, so I no longer need a fork and knife. I could eat it with my hand. The cheese goes on top of the crust and that's how the crust stays so crispy. I really like how crispy it is so good talking about the crust. I would say four and a half out of five. I love the crunch and I love that it doesn't have too much crust so you really focus on all the ingredients, the cheese, the sauce and the sausage, but it could have a little more flavor.

For me the cheese, easy five out of five, was super melty, similarly five out of five for the sauce. I really love the Italian herbs and spices on top, plus those tomatoes that really have a nice kick and finally the sausage. I would say four out of five. I wish the sausage was a little more flavorful. Definitely a great pizza here at Paisano's, one more bite. Okay, we're ready to devour our next Chicago deep dish pizza. We are the art of pizza in Lakeview. I've been here for over 30 years and now have a second location in the South Loop, just east of Printer's Row.

The art of pizza comes with a lot of praise, plus you guys comment all the time that we should try our pizza first. in 2001 the soapbox named them the number one deep dish pizza in chicago the more real name also named them number one and they were on the zagat list year after year after year here's my slice it got a little cold so We throw that with a fork and knife. You can get this pizza by the slice, technically it's a stuffed pizza but we're going to throw it in the ring with the rest of the deep dish pizzas, let's take a bite it's a big bite, the crust isn't crispy but it has a nice chew to it Now, this is really amazing and it's different from all the pies we've tried so far, so when I first heard the name pizza art I thought it was like an artistic pizza like the sauces and the paint strokes, but in It's actually from the owner's name Art Chabez, so when you get to the end, the crust is actually much crispier, the taste reminds me a little bit of pan pizza.

I'm ready to give my ratings for this art of deep dish pizza. or stuffed pizza whatever you want to call it starting with the crust three out of five I like to chew it I like the crispiness on the outside but I have to say it's a little too greasy for me the cheese is five out of five for me this is exactly the type of cheese you want in a deep dish pizza or super melty, it's a little salty, great flavor, the sauce I'll give it a four out of five chunky, there's definitely a lot of it. finally the sausage was tasty, I would say three and a half out of five.

I can't really find the sausage among this mountain of pizza so I picked a little piece tried on its own, it had a little spice but the taste just wasn't quite right for me, we're in Lakeview and it's my first time at arta pizza . I'm very excited to try this. It's a huge slice of pizza, even when I picked it up the cheese was stringy. the whole way this pizza smells amazing it has tons of sauce dripping down the sides it's like a thicker pizza compared to the other ones we've been on it's higher every time i cut a slice you can see this amazing cheese right there.

Look, I'm going to give the crust a four. I was actually enjoying it once I got to the end. It's hard to taste the actual crust on the bottom of the pizza. There are two layers, one at the bottom and then another on the right. under the sauce the sauce I'm going to give it a five because that's what I think is very advanced on this pizza and I liked it, it had those Italian seasonings on top and it had a great flavor, the cheese that I am. I'll give it a five. I was having so much fun when I made the cheese plate.

It reminded me of eating mozzarella sticks. I'll give the sausage a three. It took me a little while to find the sausage. It was almost like a scavenger. hunting overall really solid pizza, huge portions which is so much fun, tastes amazing overall again, another super solid deep dish pizza, can't wait to eat some more. So far we've had three of the best deep dish pizzas in Chicago, but we still have two amazing ones. pies to devour and also make sure to keep it closed because we will be crowning the champion not only of Chicago but of the entire world for our next deep dish pizza.

Actually, we're not even in a pizza place but in our Lincoln Park apartment and that's because my pie pizza currently only does delivery or takeout, but we couldn't let that get in the way with the rest of the challenges for the best deep dish pizza in chicago. My Pie Pizza has been around since 1971. I actually have a really interesting story that I'll start telling you after you take your first bite of this amazing deep dish pizza. The first my pie pizza opened in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood in 1971 and two years later they became the first. A Chicago deep dish restaurant opened out of the state of Illinois and they actually had franchises all over the country, even one, ironically, in Gainesville, Florida, there's only one left and it's in Bucktown, really very crispy because they delivered this pizza to us and It didn't arrive.

In that state just out of the oven, we had to put it in the oven for about 10 minutes at 350 to raise it back to the oven.normal temperature, it's still very good, but I imagine it will taste even better if you make it there a little professional. By the way, if deep dish pizza is delivered to your house, you should order it uncut. The crust for me is a five out of five. I really like that it has a nice crunch that reminds me of tavern style pizza, but after that crunch. you get that softer, doughier feeling and the crust isn't even that thick with the cheese.

I'm going to choose four out of five, it's just not a lot of cheese. I really can't decide if I love cheese or not. it's okay because there just isn't that much of it, I really love the sauce, the Italian herbs on top, the tomatoes fall off with every bite I take and they also give it a little char so you get little black spots in the sauce, a unique touch five out of five and finally the sausage, I have to give it three out of five first of all, just like the cheese, there's not much sausage and then when you bite into it, it's not bad, but it's okay, and when you talk about pizza Chicago-style deep dish with Italian pizza. sausage you want the sausage to be tasty you keep eating I've never actually heard of my pie pizza I don't know how Louis finds all these gems we put it in the oven and I've been working up an appetite because it's now floating all over the apartment this is probably The first deep dish pizza in my entire life for which I have not needed a fork and knife from the beginning.

The first thing I taste is the tomato, a very strong flavor that the crust has preserved. It comes together very well it's not like falling off it doesn't have as much cheese I didn't see a pull of cheese when we cut it now for the part you've been waiting for my ratings for the mai pai pizza starting with the crust I'll give it a 5. Now I can really appreciate it the bread, the bakers of this pizza, the sausage, I'll give it a two, it didn't have any wow factor, I'll give the sauce a four and Then I'll also give the cheese a four.

I think with the cheese I was a little disappointed at first that it didn't have the cheese flavor, which is something I always like to see. I really enjoy the taste. the cheese and there isn't much of it, which is overwhelming for the pizza. I think it's a really nice, balanced slice of pizza. A plus for my cake. We couldn't make this film without paying homage to the birthplace of deep dish pizza, founded in 1943 by Rick Ricardo and Ike Sowell. One claims that Sewell invented deep dish pizza, but many more give that distinction to the rudimentary major who was the chef of some.

A true Chicago-style deep dish pizza has a deep crust followed by mozzarella cheese and finally the sauce toppings. and sometimes a little more cheese Since its inception, deep dish pizza has become a global phenomenon with emerging chains like Giordano's and Lou Malnati's and by the way, if you love movies like this that delve into regional cuisines, be sure After subscribing, we present piquas. and our

ultimate

2021 Chicago travel guide blew us away. We're back to add your pie to the mix for Chicago's best deep dish pizza. Welcome to Pequod among all the deep dish pizzerias we've been to during this movie.

Pequod stands out. first because they are the only ones that were actually founded in the suburbs and then came to the city of Chicago. They are also unique because it is not a true Chicago-style deep dish pizza, but rather a bread pizza made in a deep dish in 1992. They came to the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago. We recommend this to almost everyone we care about, although they call it skillet pizza, it's very close to Chicago style deep dish pizza, that crust had a nice crispy crunch and then the inside was a little softer, like a bread Freshly baked, that sausage is extremely tasty, which is why we've tried a lot of deep dish pizzas in the past few days.

You may be wondering if this has changed our perspective on deep dish, are we going to eat it? Most likely not, it's still a hearty meal, I'd just like to eat it once in a while or if we're filming for the channel, that being said, when family and friends come to town we'll have better options to give them this deep dish . It might be the tastiest sauce we've ever had, many of the others were on the spicy side, very tomato based, this is just a phenomenal slice of pizza. What's happening? We were on peaquads the entire time I was filming, my mouth was watering.

I just wanted to eat this pizza as soon as possible. I'm very excited to try it. This is a cheese pizza. You could actually eat this pizza upside down. Really loaded with flavor. Siri activated because he was so excited to talk to you about pizza now. caramelized crust oh my goodness the caramelized crust is the best part of this pizza that is a winner off the chains pink quads might be Chicago's most famous deep dish pizza restaurant like a freshly baked Italian bread with cheese sauce and toppings, this is the caramelized crust crust, this is what the piqué was probably most famous for, it really is a game changer, it's so good I noticed that as the pizza cools it doesn't get as crispy, just have that Keep in mind, it is very crispy when it's hot out of the oven, but like my pie and paisano pizza that crust stays crispy even when the pizza cools well after a slice and a half starting with the crust oh man I'm going to have to say four and a half out of five, I love that caramelized crust, the crust like that I said it's almost like a freshly baked bread, but I have to think about half a point because once it starts to cool, that crunch goes away and that's very important for For me, that first slice was kind of crispy and I really love the sauce.

I'm going to have to give it a four out of five, it's very tasty, but I'm missing those whole tomatoes that we've had in some of the other pies, the cheese, I'm going to give it a four out of five, and the Italian sausage. A perfect five out of five in my opinion, it's so tasty it comes in big chunks, you're not going to do a scavenger hunt through the cheese and sauce, overall the piquaz comes back. I love this place and can definitely say we will be back. and again, oh, yum, yum, yum, for the sausage, I'll give it a five out of five, for the taste of the cheese.

I'll give it a five out of five every time I walk in I smell mozzarella sticks wafting through the restaurant because of the sauce I'll give it a four out of five I love it in the end because of the crust I'll give it a four and a half out of five because I love this crust of caramelized mozzarella which is what makes This pizza, what is it, I'm obsessed with it, Louis has been working really hard doing behind-the-scenes math to bring you the most unbiased ranking of the best deep dish pizzas in Chicago, but that being said, I also wanted to share mine, so here they are.

They're at number five it's the art of pizza four I'm going to put my pie three will be paisano's two will be bartoli's and number one pequod we've eaten so much Chicago deep dish pizza in the last few days it's been quite a trip but the moment of the truth is here, my official 2022 ranking of the best deep dish pizza in Chicago. Keep in mind that no matter where pizza pie ends up on this list, it will be a phenomenal option and will make it to number five. The art of pizza, I guess. I'm just not a big fan of the whole stuffed pizza thing and that's what pizza arta is, it's the thickest pizza we've had during this trip, coming in at number four, it's my pie, now I thought why not we get fresh.

Pulled out of the oven, maybe that affected their final score, but really reflecting on it, there just wasn't as much cheese or Italian sausage, sort of like a more hipster refined version of deep dish pizza, will definitely be the lightest option of any of are. pizzas at number three we have paisano's which is the classic Chicago style deep dish pizza which traces its origins back to the inventor of deep dish pizza Rudy Malnati Sr. at number two we have pea clubs they have that caramelized dough, excellent Italian sausage, but I have to deduct a couple of points because, strictly speaking, it's not a technical Chicago-style deep-dish pizza that says it's still pizza baked in a deep dish here in Chicago and, of course, you know, on bartoli number one I'll have to agree. with steve dielinski it's the best deep dish pizza in chicago hands down everything was phenomenal great friendly staff we had a lot of fun next time you want to eat deep dish pizza remember the best is baked right here In Chicago, peace and blessings.
