For the Love of Pizza: Deep Dish or Thin Crust?
Hi Everyone.
We’ve been in Chicago over the last few days to attend BlogHer and also presented the morning keynote at this years first BlogHer Viewfinder. Prior to embarking on trip, the first thing on our minds was pizza.
The passion and opinions that everyone’s shared on the issue of pizza is so incredible to read. We had asked Facebook for some advice on where to eat some good deep dish pizza in the city that gave birth to the polarizing dish, and here’s the incredible responses we received.
Even a waiter at a Chicago Italian restaurant we talked to was so jazzed and opinionated about his deep dish pizza choices, he forgot that he was even working. We had such fun listening to his monologue about his favorite deep dish spots and his not-so-favorite spots. He literally begged us not to go to particular touristy joints because he wanted our first experience to be positive.
Ha. Pizza does this to people. The topic of type of pizza, where to eat and what type of crust gets folks all riled up.
When it comes to pizza, we’re curious cats and always open to understanding what makes certain foods so enticing.
So while we’re still exploring our favorite pizza places, we wanted to ask you all a basic question:
Are you a deep dish or thin crust eater?
If you like both then that totally ok. You’re a lover and peace maker at heart.

No way! Thin crust is BOMB. Nothing beats the crispy dough against a pile of soft toppings/ The bread makes for better “pizza fold” too
Definitely deep dish! The more toppings, the better. Warm, mushy, and delicious.
Thin. Super thin. There was this place in St. Louis where the crust was so thin, I could almost eat the whole pizza. Anytime I can almost eat a whole pizza is a good time.
thin crust. After growing up in a family with deep dish Pizza Hut (yes, that was my exposure to pizza for most of my childhood) I found I enjoyed thin crust because I can really taste the toppings.
I love thin crust pizza’s probably because we are not a huge fan of cheeses!
Have fun in Chitown you guys 🙂
Pizza is always on my list “to do”, fortunately and unfortunately. Your choice looks delicious.
I love, love, love deep dish pizza, especially the kind with the oily, greasy crust………..but, I’m a diabetic, so I strive to eat thin crust when I indulge, to keep the carbs down. That said, I’m picky about thin crusts. I like them thin, but bread-like, not crisped-to-death cracker wannabes! I enjoy your posts and have saved some of your recipes.

For me, thin crust all the way. My boyfriend prefers deep dish. It is a pretty major division in our relationship.
Thin crust with minimal sauce. I prefer a white garlicky sauce on my veggie pizza. Light red on meat pizzas. Did you have an Italian beef sandwich? That’s another question to ask…wet or dry on your Italian beef.
I grew up outside Chicago. I love thin. Why have crust if you have thick? That being said-put thick in front of me and I’ll still wolf it down.
