Guess we might as get into Chicago Italian beef vs. Philly cheese steak while we're at it. Though this may be going absurdly off topic at this point.
Lol, I love the Chicago deep dish pizza and for making at home because Chicago is ten hours away, we use the recipe in America’s test kitchen, the butter crust is superb.
I also love all style of pizza and there is a little town right by the New Gorge Bridge in West Virginia and they have a little place called Pies and Pints, really good New York style pizza. I try to plan my trips through there when it is a good time of day to stop for pizza.

For me, not only Uno's in Chicago, but Due's. How can you eat a pizza so thin you can read a newspaper through it?

there are folks on here that both like the photo, and others that say it isn't even pizza.
Man what a divisive subject. It boils down to the New York Style pizza vs Chicago Deep Dish.
My 2 cents, is, if you put that in front of me, I don't care what you name it--
I am going to get some on my shirt. That looks good!!
It might need a little more pepperoni though ---Hahahahahahahahahaha....

As a former New Yorker, I understand their passion for their style of pizza. Now living near Chicago, I appreciate their deep dish variation. I love the regional differences I have tried around the country, sourdough crust near San Francisco, Bratwurst and Kraut in Wisconsin, you name it. Just as Italy has regional variations, I enjoy the experience of trying new pizza wherever I may travel. BTW, I think a good fire roasted pizza with fresh natural vegetables, artisan cheese, and meats is tough to beat no matter where you are.

"...their STYLE [capitalization is mine]of pizza." Pizza is an Italian word and was invented in Naples in the 1800's. Verace pizza Napoletana (true Neapolitan pizza) is now on UNESCO's intangible cultural heritage list. Many immigrants from southern Italy settled in NYC, which is why one has the best chance of eating an authentic pizza in NYC, which doesn't mean that it couldn't be found elsewhere, since southern Italians can be found almost everywhere in the U.S. I even found one in south central PA, but I had to ask him in Italian not to load it up with cheese before I could get a decent pizza from him. He told me that he had to submit to the tastes of the, let's be kind and say, "less than worldly" locals. Indeed, every time an ethnic restaurant opened in the area where I live, whether it was Vietnamese, Thai, Korean, or Chinese, within six months that restaurant had to succumb to the provincial palates or go out of business.
So it's possible that the disgusting glop in the OP's photograph tastes "good," but it has nothing to do with pizza.

I lived in Chicago for 50 years. Nothing can compare with a deep-dish Chicago pizza from Lou Malnati's or Pizzaria Uno's. Any Hogger from the Chicago area will agree with me.
I also agree

I have relatives in Chicago who insist on sending me Chicago frozen pizza packed in dry ice. I much prefer the local deep dish pizza I can buy just a few miles from my house. I end up tossing the frozen pizza and buying a better one. I don't tell them.

Italians eat pizza with a knife and fork, but their pizza is real, not that disgusting concoction pictured.
In my neighborhood in the South Bronx which had a lot of first-generation kids. My self-included. A lot of Italians. None of them ate their pizza with a knife and fork. Youpick it up and crack the crust in the middle and fold it and ....mangia.

My observations have been made in restaurants in Italy. Perhaps people eat differently in their homes; I know I do.

I am from Chicago. That looks good. Pizzeria Uno is my favorite deep dish. had NY style. It was good but totally different.
However most people, when ordering from their local joint, some of which are really, really good get thin crust.
Chicago Hot Dogs traditionally have mustard, onion, pickle relish, tomatoes, cucumber, sport peppers and a dash of celery salt, all in a steamed bun. In my opinion ketchup would not mesh well. But to each his own. I am not a wiener cop.
Maxwell Street Polish sausages are usually a Polish sausage grilled on a bed of onions, served on steamed bun with those onions, mustard and a sport peppers.
The scene in the blues brothers from Maxwell street Market (which in it's original form is gone)shows them making it.
