    Usanians call food pizza the same way they call social democracy comunism or thin air, weapons of mass destruction. The entire country’s culture is based on bastardising things from the civilised world to the point they lose their original meaning.

      When you make yourself Goulash, is it a soup? Or is it a stew that we Hungarians call as pörkölt. Do you put wine into it? Or you resist the influence of the French kitchen?

        Tahnk you for making my point. When I make goulash, I make goulash, that’s why the word exists.

          Use the hot paprika sparingly, as the main flavoring should come from the sweet paprika, and extra flavoring can be added with cumin, black pepper, rosemary, smoked pork belly, celery, lovage, and parsley leafs; garlic, which often dependent on region too (garlic is more common in some northern regions, while others consider it heresy).

          Protip: leftover bacon fat works as a very good substitute for lard, just make sure it’s not contaminated by seasoning.

    That is a poor representation of Chicago-style deep dish pizza. And I say that as an east coaster who prefers New York style, but props where they’re deserved.

    IEEE style pizza, because then the ingredients appear in the order in which they’re used in the recipe instead of alphabetical by author.

      Next you’re telling me there isn’t some law of nature forcing everyone to have multiple pages of bullshit ads and the biography of the author between the ingredients list and the instructions.

    I’ve never had Chicago style pizza and I have no idea where to get one here on the west coast of Canada.

      So there are two different types of Chicago pizza. You have suuuuuper thin square cut hella crispy pizza. Then you have guest pizza… aka deep dish. Everyone thinks deep dish is Chicago pizza but most people who live here only ever get it when they have guests from out of town. It’s just not good. Thin is where it’s at.

        Yeah Chicago bar pizza is excellent. Also the Midwest as a whole likes square cut thin crust pizzas as local treats. Except Michigan where Detroit style is deep dish but for some reason it’s considered cooler

    It’s only Chicago style if it’s made in the Chicago region of France. Otherwise it’s just Domino’s.

      It’s too socialistic by the standards of capitalists and has been run out of most cooking schools. It’s occasionally taught as an ‘alternative’ recipe, but for some reason, despite rendering a better pizza, it’s never widely adopted.

      We get it, new york style won, and is available worldwide. Congrats. Now STFU about it new yorkers, you don’t need to gloat on top.

      I’m butthurt because when I visited NYC, my friend said I “Had to” get a new york slice. I got in fucking Queens from Sal’s Pizzeria, and it was a generic slice of pizza I’ve already had a billion times.

      I didn’t get to eat tamales, which WOULD have been something unique.

        My preferred spot is also called Sal’s but it’s in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It has an autographed picture of David Berkowitz hanging up. I bet there are a fuckload of spots called Sal’s in New York.

        You are correct. You can find New York style pizza just about anywhere these days but the bar for quality is higher there with so much competition.

        TBF, the clip cut off the part at the beginning where it shows a clip of someone (local news anchor?) from Chicago saying Chicago-style is better.

    AP pizza is pizza made with All Purpose flour. This type of pizza is usually square and also known as a grandma pizza.

    Also I just made this up.
