An Italian Tries Chicago DEEP DISH PIZZA for the First Time
Eva and I are back in the good ol' US of A. And that means it's time for me to expose her to more classic American food.
We happen to be moving across the country and, since it's more or less on the way, we decided to stop in Chicago for a much-requested deep dish pizza. Join us as we find more than pizza in Chicago and journey to our new home!

@@whodat9198 No, "torta salata" only means "salted pie", it can be many things. The "sfincione" she made has nothing to do with a "quiche" (french dish with eggs and cream). It's Palermo street food focaccia/pizza with dough, tomato sauce and cheese. It's very close to the Chicago Deep Dish pizza. A lot of Italian immigrants were Sicilians, so it seem very probable that they made an American version of it and called it Pizza.

@@IronFreee Correct, her enclosed version is our 'stuffed' pizza. Most if not all the sfinciones (focaccia with tomato and stuff on top) I see on KZfaq are what we call Sicilian pizza, Detroit pizza or 'Granny' pizza which is more common in the midwest areas. Deep dish is quite an evolution of these various types. If you ate a Pequods, Unos from Chicago you wouldn't really see much resemblance to a sfincione. Sfincione would be closer to a Little Caesar's pan pizza. But a torta, sure seems more closer due to the crust and presentation.

I've never watched Healthy Junk Food (I've heard of them though), but I agree about them doing a collab with Max from Tasting History. He actually did one with Frank from Proto Cooks/Epicurious about lasagna, so it would be fun to see him do an early version of some other Italian dish (maybe pizza?) and Eva do the modernized version.

I love you guys. I love your channel, the things you do, the Italian food, that I love her since I was little when my mother took me to eat pasta with red sauce and Parmesan in wonderful and sophisticated Italian restaurants. You are a beautiful couple. You are fulfilling your dreams, and you have plans, travel, move, go to Italy, come back, continue cooking, work, have a beautiful life, and love each other. Long live the love, long live the food. Long live Italy. Long live America. You really are an example for humanity to follow. I am grateful for all the teachings, that although you may not believe it, they are not only gastronomic, you show the world a beautiful image as people with whom you set an example on how we should be better. Thanks.

You made a good choice with Pequod’s-and I agree that you should have gone with sausage instead of pepperoni. I usually introduce out-of-towners to deep dish at Gino’s East, but my all-time favorite deep dish is Lou Malnati’s. I got excited that you were “moving” to Chicago. Our loss. I hope you get acclimated to Arizona.

@parasharkchari 3 жыл бұрын
As someone who lived in Chicago for nearly half his life, I have to say -- good job going with Pequod's! -- Pequod's conforms to one of three major subcategories of deep dish. Namely, the type with the burnt cheesy edges. The other major styles include the more "well-known" style popularized by Uno or Lou Malnati's, and then the stuffed pizza from places like Giordano's or Nancy's. The stuffed pizza, at least if you believe the Giordano's founders, is supposedly derived from a pizza rustica/pizza ripiena. Also, if you are actually interested in Chicago style pizza, you need to be aware that "Chicago style" originally was an ultra thin cracker-like crust, usually cut into squares, which we generally call "tavern style." Deep dish has more notoriety among tourists because it is so non-conventional, but the tavern style (as seen at places like Pat's or Bartoli's) far outsells the deep dish among the locals. I can also add that the hugely thick deep dish pizzas are more popular during the colder months of the year -- which should make sense. As much as I will consecrate altars unto the irrefutable supremacy of a good deep dish/stuffed pizza, I also am not drawn to it when the weather gets hot.
@CinHotlanta 4 күн бұрын
Agreed - tavern pizza is my favorite in Chicago - for the deep stuff I prefer Pequod's. I think stuffed is really damn tasty, but man is it a gut bomb.

The go-to staples for Chicago style pizza are Gino's East and Pizzeria Due. It takes around 45 minutes to cook a Chicago deep dish pizza at Gino's East, so it's best to order ahead and then show up a few minutes before it's ready to get a table to eat it or take it with you.

Not really. In Arizona the Southwestern/Mexican food is fairly mild. I lived in Tucson, AZ for 5 years. While one can find spicy hot Mexican food there if you try, it is not the milder authentic Sonoran food indigenous to the area. The food in New Mexico is much hotter, and in my opinion, much tastier on average. See rovingdecanter.com/2014/10/22/what-is-sonoran-style-mexican-food/

Here in Chicago, the pie that Eva made is what we call a “stuffed pizza,” The second crust on top makes it different from the “deep dish pizza.” I only eat either of these when out of town folks visit. Otherwise, I stick with the thin crust pizza.

As a long time Chicagoan, I would say that you could spend a well planned out week in Chicago eating pizza and filming. There’s a lot of variation in the city as well as in the suburbs. In the northside Ravenswood neighborhood there’s a place called Spacca Napoli. There is a local chain of pizzerias called Aurelio‘s. There are a few of the Detroit style pizza places. In the suburb of Elmwood Park where I now live (it used to be all Italian), there is Spizzico, geo‘s Pizza on Harlem Avenue, and probably a Lou Malnati‘s pizzeria somewhere. Also in River Grove there is Da’Luciano‘s. A lot of the traditional Italian neighborhood in Chicago was gutted when they built the Kennedy Expressway and the UIC campus in the early 60s. As a result many of these families and businesses moved out to the west side of the city at the very border at Harlem Avenue. There also still are some small import and specialty grocery stores we can find Italian goodies. A block north of my workshop is grand Avenue where there is a specialty store called Tempesta which actually sells the closest thing to real N’duja. Further east along Grand Ave.: Salerno’s, Mart Antony’s (just off the ave.), and Oggi. So many food possibilities, so little time!!
