One of the many pizza styles which is home to Chicago, a place known for its variety styles of food such as the hotdog and the Italian beef sandwich. Deep dish has an appearance not many have seen: the sauce is on <em>top <\/em>of the cheese. It brings in a taste not many are used to because tasting the sauce before the cheese hits in a different way.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">While this style of pizza is highly accepted in Chicago, the deep dish style pizza isn\u2019t really a pizza many would like to try. This is because it\u2019s not in the order that people are used to: cheese on top of the sauce. This leads to people thinking that deep dish pizza doesn\u2019t have cheese at all, criticizing it before tasting it. When comparing this to other cultural pizzas it may be seen as a disrespect to pizza, just like how some people think pineapples on pizza isn\u2019t acceptable yet others still enjoy it. It clashes with culture because of the way it\u2019s made. Just like for example, tacos in Chicago vs tacos in Mexico. They are different styles. One has cheese and the other doesn\u2019t, using beans instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Personally, I think deep dish isn\u2019t a bad pizza. The flavor hits different because of the way the cheese blends in with the sauce. Even though they&#8217;re in the opposite order of standard pizza, and the meat and vegetables are on the inside, it\u2019s still a good tasting unique experience. Comparing it to the regular style of pizza, where it\u2019s sauce, cheese, and then topped with anything you want; It\u2019s an odd logic to hate on deep dish style without tasting and questioning why it looks like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"567\" src=\"https:\/\/mildsauce.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Markel_Interview_Pizza_paulie-1024x567.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mildsauce.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Markel_Interview_Pizza_paulie-1024x567.png 1024w, https:\/\/mildsauce.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Markel_Interview_Pizza_paulie-300x166.png 300w, https:\/\/mildsauce.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Markel_Interview_Pizza_paulie-768x426.png 768w, https:\/\/mildsauce.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Markel_Interview_Pizza_paulie-1536x851.png 1536w, https:\/\/mildsauce.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Markel_Interview_Pizza_paulie-2048x1135.png 2048w, https:\/\/mildsauce.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Markel_Interview_Pizza_paulie-376x208.png 376w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Markel interviews Tony, Manager at Paulie Gee&#8217;s Pizza.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I feel if people were willing to taste it they would have a new\u00a0understanding. I didn&#8217;t know what deep dish was as a kid, until I tried it one day I got a new understanding of food and its differences. It relates to the cultural clash because it\u2019s a pizza that has a style like no other. When people see it, they act like it\u2019s a failed project that nobody would like to touch. Comparing Chicago style of pizza to its other style of food, it\u2019s the least like them. The other foods don\u2019t have a unique style so much as just adding condiments people originally wouldn\u2019t have (the Chicago Dog.) But for deep dish I don\u2019t understand the hate.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginoseast.com\/deep-thoughts\/why-is-deep-dish-so-controversial\">Originally I thought the hate was just a joke<\/a> but I&#8217;ve seen now that many people do not like Chicago Style pizza. Tik Tok is where I got this idea. Seeing the hate just made me question what could there be to dislike about deep dish pizza? I wonder if they\u2019ve actually tried it. If people were to try this pizza, how would they see it differently?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">When I was researching facts about deep dish pizza, I saw reviews that were from people who had harshly judged the pizza without trying. But after they had tried it, they actually rescinded the opinion, saying its actually good and were misunderstood. The reason I want to talk about this cultural difference is because I want to understand the hate I\u2019ve seen for deep dish pizza. So I planned a visit to a few professional pizza places in Chicago to ask what\u2019s the hate for deep dish.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I\u2019d like to try and grasp the understanding of why some people hate deep dish, especially without even trying first. If it\u2019s for its taste quality, or how it\u2019s not combining flavors the way it should, then it\u2019s acceptable to hate it if it\u2019s not up to taste. So I\u2019ll be interviewing an expert on pizza, and many people who have had both styles of pizza, New York or Chicago Style. I wonder which they would prefer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"571\" src=\"https:\/\/mildsauce.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Naty_Toast-1024x571.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2539\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mildsauce.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Naty_Toast-1024x571.png 1024w, https:\/\/mildsauce.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Naty_Toast-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/mildsauce.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Naty_Toast-768x428.png 768w, https:\/\/mildsauce.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Naty_Toast-1536x856.png 1536w, https:\/\/mildsauce.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Naty_Toast-2048x1142.png 2048w, https:\/\/mildsauce.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Naty_Toast-376x210.png 376w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Markel and participants toast at Naty&#8217;s Pizza.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">With the people I&#8217;ve interviewed, they all raised the burning question I had when examining the style of pizza from Chicago: people most likely hate it because they believe there&#8217;s no cheese, or it&#8217;s not even considered pizza. It looks more like lasagna. When describing Chicago-style pizza, they express positively to its taste, expressing that it offers greater variety and a more uniquely crafted crust compared to others. While it&#8217;s true that opinions were kinda divided between those who enjoy New York or Chicago style pizza, the reasons they provided were consistent. Many mentioned their preference for the cheese placed on top or their appreciation for the diverse options Chicago style pizza brings. During the visit to the pizzeria where the pizza is made, the owner provided insights into its preparation while conducting the interview. Furthermore, a group of individuals taste tested the pizza, offering their perspectives on Chicago-style pizza. Upon tasting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ordernatyspizza.com\/\">Naty\u2019s Pizza<\/a>, it became clear that everyone enjoys the cheese and finds the sauce delicious. We also saw that the pizza remains true to its cultural roots, featuring a unique crust and a perfectly circular shape that is cut into squares. Lorenzo mentioned that he incorporates Italian-style ingredients, a skill he acquired from someone else. We were also able to witness how the pizza is prepared and handled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">But don\u2019t take my word for it, let&#8217;s dive into the video and look for yourself in this tasty cheese and breaded journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In this issue, we step into worlds different (or similar to) than our own and share our experiences.
