Why is that funny or surprising? Boston is not known for its deep dish; that is Chicago.

    Thought Chicago was known for the weird-ass sauce on top of the cheese pizza.

    That's "Detroit".

    Nah, you're mistaken, making a mislabeled pasta that is mislabeled as pizza is firmly a Chicago thing!

    Detroit Deep Dish is an excellent thicc and crunchy crusted cheese-carmelized indulgence born of factory workers, whist Chicago "pizza" is a shit lasagna the domain of disappointed tourists and locals too dense to realize the sauce goes under the cheese!

    No, Detroit has (optionally) a couple lines of sauce on top, and most places I know that make Detroit style skip the sauce lines. Chicago style has sauce on top of the entire thing.

    Though I just looked it up and it looks like there are multiple different "Chicago style" definitions.

    Chicago style is a kiddie pool of a crust filled with an alarming miasma of sauce and toppings (bafflingly, placed under the sauce). It’s more of a “savory pie” than a “pizza-pie”. Great for if you want to drown a toddler in a food item; not so great for folding up and eating as you walk around town.

    They can be tasty. I just object to them being classified with the rest of the pizza genus, because they’re wildly different in terms of construction to any other pizza species.
