The thing about Chicago pizza vs New York that people don't realize is its not a competition. It's really comparing apples to oranges and I'll tell you why:
-You want a quick snack, a slice or two on the go? New York pizza is what you want.
-You want a full meal? Sit down with the family with a fork in hand and get full as fuck? Chicago pizza.
Both are dope as fuck, just depends on the circumstance and your mood.
The northwest is kinda whack pizza. I mean pizza isn't rocket science first off, you can find decent pizza anywhere. But I have not found any decent or somewhat authentic deep dish in Washington. What they pass off for deep dish is retarded - more cheese, thinker crust. That's not Chicago style. Chicago style, again, is a fuckin meal. Small little pieces of sausage scattered on top? NO. How about an entire sausage patty on top? That way each and every bite contains a layer of sausage. That's Chicago style, where you need a fork since you couldn't possibly eat it by hand. Fills you up, one maybe two pieces and you're KOd.
My family here in Seattle, anytime da bears or Seahawks made the Superbowl, and some playoff games, we order from Lou Malnati's. Yeah it's expensive for shipping but for special occasions it's worth it. Plus a lot of people don't know about their Italian Beef sandwich, which is dope:
I was telling butcher a while back that another thing Seattle lacks in is deli meat. For whatever reason you just can't get the same kind you'd find in the Midwest or New York. Italian beef, Pastrami, corned beef, it's crazy how much different it is.
So if you get some pies from Lou's, make sure to add the Portillo's Italian Beef Kit:
2 lbs. of Portillo's Famous Italian Beef
2 qts of Portillo's signature gravy
8 bake and serve Italian rolls
8 oz. of Sweet Peppers & 8 oz. of Hot Giardinara
Now we're talking.
Add two of Lou Malnati's famous deep dish pizzas for:
$89.99 including shipping? Not bad at all, for the special occasion.
While you're at it, throw in some corned beef
And some Polish Sausage
Which reminds me, why the hell is it so hard to find poppy-seed hotdog buns here? Makes no sense, they go hand in hand. Yet it's rare to find them in supermarkets in Washington. You can find poppy seed hamburger buns usually no problem, hotdog buns? Rarely ever.
Might as well have them toss in some Chicago hotdogs
Which is dope because they do include the bright green relish and poppy seed buns. All beef Vienna beef hotdogs though you can get here at supermarkets so it's not as important as everything above.
You order this? I swear to god after you eat it all you will instantly grow a thick mustache
