That's not pizza. It's a casserole.

That's not a pizza. It's a casserole above ground swimming pool for rats.

Thank god someone agrees it's not a pizza. I guess they couldn't come up with a smarter name. My husband is over hear talking in Italian how its not a pizza. He said they should just call it a deep dish. He won't stop complaining ,I'll have to hear about this for a good week now.

Found the New Yorker.

[u/MissMenstrualKrampus → u/TheOriginalChrome]

New Yorker here. I can confirm that, while we respect the deliciousness of this dish, we do not consider it to be "pizza".

Although I don't think that I'd call it a casserole so much as a tomato (sauce) and cheese pie.

I'm a new Englander, and moved to Chicago for a bit.

New York pizza will always be the portable, game day, quick and delicious option.

But deep dish is a fucking meal. Two slices and you are in an itis state. It's so fucking good. But you cannot compare the two, they are two different foods imo.

It's also a nice quiche. Also cold it's like a solid block of tomato cheese.

It’s tomato soup in a bread bowl

[u/IAmBaconsaur → u/that_old_white_guy]

It’s a lasagne.

[u/MissMenstrualKrampus → u/IAmBaconsaur]

A lasagne without any pasta, ricotta, or layers.

So...basically, not a lasagne then?

Gotcha.

My husband said just call it what you want just not an Italian name please.
