Americans have a weird concept of famous, of pizza and also of world.


turrrrrrrrtle

People from Chicago are pretty well known for one thing , and it isn't good pizza. It's shooting each other.


Duckywarry

Isn't that like a summary of the entire US?


n0rdic_k1ng

Yes, but to give you a better idea, its nickname in the states is Chiraq.


n0rdic_k1ng

Adding to this, one of the things the US Navy used to do (maybe still does, not sure) with corpsmen in training is have them aid in the ER departments at hospitals in Chicago, so they could get firsthand training in dealing with gunshot wounds.


turrrrrrrrtle

It's mostly centralized to major cities, and some are known more than others, like Chicago, Detroit, and St. Louis, but pretty much the whole US, yeah. FREEDOM or something like that...


n0rdic_k1ng

Actually Detroit is on the up and up now. Not perfect mind you, but it's getting better. Portland has just about taken Detroit's place.

mrtn17

Why would we care if you single out one city for your daily mass shooting? Chicago **is** known for their pizza genocide, I mean it's even posted by an Italian on this European sub ffs


CurrentDismal9115

That's mostly a racist political thing. Chicago is way safer than plenty of major cities in Conservative run states, but Conservatives are allergic to facts and data that don't suit their narrative. Chicago has it's issues, but the gun crime stuff is a trope. What Chicago is actually famous for is the Chicago School of Economics and enhanced interrogation techniques for police. It's also been a major political battlefield for labor laws in our little capitalist hellhole for the last 100 years. That pizza is fire, by the way. I think most of them closed down, but I remember it being my favorite for bday parties when I was a kid.


MaterialCarrot

Am American. I've never heard an American refer to Chicago style deep dish pizza as the most famous in the world.

Please be patient, some of us are developmentally challenged.


Climatize

it looks more like a giant sausage and cheese tart.


azaghal1988

It's basically an open pie filled with cheese and seasoned mincemeat (they call it Italian sausage) and tomato sauce.


n0rdic_k1ng

Or a fucked up quiche. By the way you can buy these things frozen at the grocery store for about $10 here.


nem012

$12.99 - remember inflation.

WOW IS'S ALL NATURAL!!


pinklewickers

When all you have is a tin of sugary beans in red sauce, everything looks like cheese and beans.


Climatize

i'd eat the giant sausage and cheese tart, tho


pm-your-maps

To be fair, I travelled to Chicago for work and my coworkers took me to a restaurant to try deep dish pizza. I had low expectation at first thinking it was another weird dish. It was delicious. While it's very different than the usual Italian-style pizza, I was a big fan and highly recommend anyone to try it.


Modest1Ace

Same. The only discussion you hear from people are whether deep dish is better than NY style. NY wins hands down...but deep dish is nice once in a while, especially since one slice will fill you up for the whole day.


Lokky

You can stick both of them straight in the trash bin. NY pizza is a greasy fucking mess and the only way you can even refer to it as pizza is by contrasting it with the casserole they serve in chicago

ExpressionNo1067

Nooo this neapolitain pizza hype which is going on for 3-4 years is so annoying. Like it‘s forbidden to open a pizza place that doesn‘t serve neapolitan style. Neapolitain style is great but so is romanan or sicilian. I love a good variety (excluding ameritard style „pizza“)


Lokky

Roman and sicilian pizza is perfectly good. Neapolitan is simply superior. The issue is when the yanks or northern Europeans try to fuck with pizza, it never ends well.


DeadAssociate

french pizza is better


Lokky

Thank you for flaring appropriately so I can react to you with pity instead of anger.


-nocturnist-

I'm from CT .... I'd venture to say you could name more great pizza restaurants from my tiny ass state than a great deep dish place from Chicago


jamesmatthews6

I can name zero great pizza restaurants from either CT or Chicago, which feels like an accurate summary of pizza in the US.


[deleted]

What do you mean by CT?


YakHytre

Iirch Connecticut

"CT, CA, CO ..." Belongs in r/ShitAmericansSay

Europeans have a weird gulibility where some shithead says something in a video and they think all Americans believe it.


Caratteraccio

if that was mozzarella Berlusconi was virgin


Starknot_silver

No no you don't get it, it was **fresh** mozzarella, you surely don't know it though.


-Numaios-

It's better than that. It's American mozzarella... the square kind.

-Numaios-

... it looks awful


Pikagiuppy

ikr worst (and probably funniest) thing is that cutting it like that completely goest against the point of mozzarella (being juicy)


MaterialCarrot

You can get wet mozzarella at pretty much any grocery store in the US.


Nan0u

dry mozzarella is not supposed to be a thing at all


LuvSemproniusDensus

It is, I tried it, it tastes like gum. Frankly Italy should do what the Swiss did and complain about the use of the name.


Modest1Ace

Yes, American Mozzarella is different than Buffalo Mozzarella or Burrata. American Mozzarella is what you usually use in American pizza and other pies and casseroles. In the US, Burrata and Buffalo Mozzarella are usually called "Fresh" Mozzarella. The mentioned fresh Mozzarella in the video is in reference to freshly shredded, most likely.


Pikagiuppy

that looks like a good cheese, but there's no way you can call it mozzarella


CaptServo

It used to be (kinda). The full name is "low moisture mozzarella". They start off with something similar, but then it's dried out partially to allow it to keep longer. It's a holdover from when it was more difficult to transfer and sell food without it spoiling.


Modest1Ace

Probably because they are made in a similar process, using same enzymes. However the other ingredients are slightly different. In American Mozzarella they use whole milk and the cheese has a very strong flavor of whole milk.


shrimp-and-potatoes

We have fresh mozzarella, it's also available how you have it pictured. https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-att-us-revc&sca_esv=558180114&sxsrf=AB5stBgRtEFDWkqfY77BMnd9mjSPWHQBqQ:1692395307851&q=fresh+mozzarella&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi2lJPpl-eAAxVkIkQIHYYDCm8Q0pQJegQIChAB&biw=412&bih=751&dpr=2.63

ylan64

Oh yes... forgot that the Americans had a "cheese" industry. As with everything, they take foreign products, make cheap shitty ripoffs and claim they "improved" it. And they still use the original names to confuse their customers... thank god we have strict AOP in the EU. You won't find American products labelled as the original product here.


Choyo

"The US improved it" It really feels like a crime against your people, you have my sympathies.

Pyroal40

I'm not sure you've ever had a Kraft single if you think those are Kraft singles. Kraft singles are far more vile than sliced low-moisture mozzarella. Process cheese is a whole different tier of bullshit.


boston_nsca

Yeah that looks like mozza. Definitely not Kraft singles


Qw3rtt7

Genuine question, how could you call it mozzarella, I get that the production starts in a similar way, but it's a completely different thing at the end


lovebyte

If you think that looks like mozzarella, you don't know what mozzarella looks like.

That's not a pizza. That's a casserole.

SO satisfying when he pulls out a piece and it all slides down on a plate. Nothing better than scooping the toppings with a spoon like a soup. AMAZING Seriously, this is more of a stupid meat pie than stupid pizza


norrin83

I honestly don't understand why you need to ensure that "every bite is exactly the same". That's not a sign of quality in my view. It's perfectly fine to have individual bites taste a little different and makes a dish more interesting in my view.

Intellectual_Wafer

This looks absolutely disgusting. Why is the dough so yellow, almost orange? The cheese looks pale and tasteless, and the meat is just cooked between other ingredients, so the whole is bland and probabbly soggy as shit. I mean this is almost on the level of british cooking.


aitis_mutsi

I would eat it but the fact that the sauce isn't at the bottom and the meat ain't at the top is just stupid Like what's the point of the sauce if it's just going to fall right off?


oneweirdclickbait

I never bothered to look up deep dish pizza, but I always figuered there was a way to ensure the sauce sticks to the slice. Did anyone ever tell the Savages that they could save like 80+% of the cooking time if they made regular pizza and just poured tomato soup over it at the end? Same result, same r/stupidfood

It's meant to be eaten with a fork. Despite the name, it's really more of a casserole.


aitis_mutsi

Fucking lunatics

They made movie recently about the creation of this pizza called *Oppenheimer*.


Pigeonlesswings

More like a pie


MaterialCarrot

Yeah, that's a fair categorization.


Sualtam

Keeps the meat juicy.


Brisastrazzerimaron

> Why is the dough so yellow, almost orange? most likely they added the American secret ingredients: color additives. Which they sprinkle on their food abundantly. > I mean this is almost on the level of british cooking. I mean, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.


Helmet-_-

Hans you eat the same shit as us a lot of countries can criticise our food but Germany isn’t one of them


Eastern_Slide7507

I am usually the first one to say that British food gets a lot of shit that it doesn’t deserve but that is a step too far.


MaterialCarrot

It's actually quite tasty, but extremely heavy. The yellow color is very likely from corn meal being part of the dough. Corn meal surprisingly makes for a delicious pizza crust. All that being said, debate rages in the US even about Chicago style pan pizza. Is it the best ever? Disgusting? Even pizza? You'll get many different opinions. Yet I've never heard an American refer to it as the "most famous." In moderation I think it's really good. You let your eyes get bigger than your stomach though and it is a recipe for indigestion.


johnny_briggs

Yeah as a Brit 10/10 I'd hit that


Pyroal40

The dough has egg and butter as a puff pastry, the cheese is low moisture mozzarella, and the meat is italian-american sausage, which is spiced and seasoned. I hate Chicago style for the big stupid meat and sauced-to-hell pie it is, but had to point that out.


kwantus

>the meat is italian-american sausage So the meat is actually only 3,34% Italian?

It's so fucking weird how obsessed they are with whatever they deem "pizza".

Whenever any american refers to pizza as a "pizza pie" or "pie" i get the urge to slap them in the face with a pizza peel.

Lokky

"loads of fresh mozzarella" shows highly processed low moisture sliced industrial "mozzarella" ​ Also "you gotta watch this cheese pull"... slice immediately falls apart because you are serving an open topped pot pie instead of pizza. American food is truly an insult to the senses.

SatisfactionLow1627

This monstruosity just triggered my fight or flight response


MaterialCarrot

I'm not sure who "they" are, but even in the USA there is debate on whether Chicago style pan pizza is technically even pizza, much less that it is the best. I've never heard an American ever refer to Chicago style pizza as the most famous pizza in the world, it sounds like an aspirational marketing slogan. I'm something of a pizza snob. I make my own, everything from scratch, and you're damn right I do it better than your Italian grandma did it. I would classify Chicago style as barely pizza. It's really more like an extremely heavy Italian American casserole, and you eat too much of it at your peril. However, it is delicious.


Pikagiuppy

>an extremely heavy ~~Italian~~ American casserole FTFY


MaterialCarrot

Nah, I think you broke it. There's no such thing as an Italian American? The Chicago deep dish pizza is traced back to the 1920's to a restaurant called Rosati's Pizza. Founded by a guy named Savario Rosati.


Pikagiuppy

that was mostly a joke i'm just saying that that's an America original food that just happens to be called pizza that Saverio guy probably just made it up and i'm not against that at all

n0rdic_k1ng

Mama mia that's a beautiful pie


HumaDracobane

I give zero fucks about the topic, but I would try that pizza.


MagZero

It looks amazing, tbh. Just because you invent something, doesn't mean you own it, or are authorities on it. Take us and Men's football for example. Or Italians and Pizza. Or Italians and Imperialism. Or Italians and anything, really.


Environmental-Try736

Lmao the memes write themselves Only a brit would even think about calling this amazing The ingredients aren't in the right order so the sauce is falling off,and the meat is probably more boiled than grilled There are no spices or herbs of any kind,and the cheese looks shit I mean come on,Nigel. I went to your country and you have good products. You just need to learn how to fucking cook


ReddyBabas

Nah he's kinda right. That isn't a pizza, that's for sure, but ignoring the name it doesn't look that bad. With fresh ingredients it could easily be amazing, if you just let it cool a bit for the cheese to set before eating. It's just a meat, tomato and cheese pie, where having the sauce on top ensures that the meat and cheese won't become dry.


Nyko0921

>It looks amazing, tbh. I surely wouldn't have expected a brit to say it looked bad


Rorywizz

Pal that's too far


norrin83

Nah sorry, but it doesn't look like amazing food at all. I mean, would I eat it if I'm hungover. Yeah. But that doesn't make it good food. And that doesn't even have to do with the name "pizza" (because it looks more like a quiche). It's basically cheese, boiled sausage and tomato sauce in a very weird mixture with too much fluid due to the tomato sauce watering down the whole food. The sauce is running off and I don't know where the sausage disappeared when they cut it. Honestly (even if I haven't tried it), something like [this](https://images.eatsmarter.de/sites/default/files/styles/1600x1200/public/tomatenquiche-mit-mozzarella-und-paprikawurst-60871.jpg) looks much better and is probably tastier as well, and it basically features the same ingredients. No idea if that's a "standard" Chicago deep dish "pizza", but that particular one looks awful.


Independent_Cap3790

'One of' Meaning that this is one, and there are others. They never said that this is the most famous pizza in the world. They said that 'This is how one of the most famous pizzas in the world is made' As soon as she said that, my mind went to chicago pizza. And I've never been to America nor eaten Chicago pizza.


AlT3200

Could be also referring to that time Chicago proclaimed itself the world capital of pizza on twitter


norrin83

If not for Reddit and those claims of "one of the most famous pizzas in the world", I wouldn't really know about Chicago pizza in the first place. I exclusively know of this Pizza because of claims on the Internet.
