Anyone complaining about Chicago deep dish pizzas being all bread and no toppings has never actually had a Chicago deep dish IN CHICAGO. Imitators elsewhere may attempt at making them and slapping the Chicago label on it, but it's usually garbage. I ate one in Tampa a few years ago & it was a joke.

Mea culpa.... I have NEVER had a pizza in Chicago because I have never been to Chicago. And as it is way, way down on my list of 50 places to go before I'm 50 it's unlikely I will eat one for a very long time, if ever . I just don't like heavy food (too much bread and too much topping) so anything labelled "deep-pan" puts me off and all those "awful imitations" from the Chicago Pizza Pie Factory (I have been to one of those in the UK) have done nothing to change my mind. To me pizza should almost be a snack food. Not a humungous meal in its own right. And last time I ate in a Pizza Hut they had even stuffed the crust with cheeze... that was really disgusting.

One thing about North American Pizza and European Pizzas is that in NA when you order a pizza, you decide how many toppings you want and want kind of toppings you want. Over here, they have their own names for their own toppings. Except for the self choose expensive one, you have to go along with what they have. This bugs me because I like blue cheese but don't like pineapple and usually those two toppings are with each other. I prefer the NA way.
Out of curiosity, I've never had a Chicago deep dish pizza but have have had them from various other places, eg. Rossi, Pizza Hut. I've heard about them. What is the difference?
Also if the crust doesn't go soggy, that makes it possible to lift a slice with your hands and eat it without a knife and fork. Isn't that the way pizza is meant to be eaten?

All bread and no topping.

Even when the topping is good - the huge amount of 'bread' is a 'problem' IMO
They should be thought of more as 'open baked sandwiches' - which indeed can be good with excellent sauce and toppings and tasty, proper texture 'bread.'

Real Chicago Deep Dish is all about the toppings. They're often a good inch of topping on top of a quarter inch of bread. More like a slice of pie than a bread with stuff on it.

Not to bring down the tone of the pizza chat, but a good honest meatfeast pizza in the UK takes some beating.

Obviously, some of the beating is just to confirm the various meats are actually dead, but that's just a minor fly (figuratively speaking, I promise) on the whopping great arse of a damn fine culinary delight.

I'm quite partial to my local, they're damn fine, unfortunately great pizza 20 metres away suggests i'll have to get some walking poles in my old age.
It's got a absurdly typical finnish menu, i can't remember exactly what's on the russian pizza but it's a stupendous list of nonsense. Mmmmm might order one for a laugh sometime.

You could order two and have one for breakfast.
I heard somewhere that that's an old Lappish custom...

Having Pizza in Finland has really emphasised the need a good base for a pizza. With the nearby places at least, the base is absolute poo and so you (well, me... ) end up mowing through the whole pizza in 93 seconds flat. No enjoyment, can't saviour. Just end up feeling greasy and used

And a related point, I've always held the missus in high esteem, but that almost changed when I discovered she ordered 'mincemeat and tomato' pizza last Saturday. Sigh. Only a Finn...

That's what McHell does, he can't be arsed to collect and one pizza doesn't cost enough to justify delivery so he always gets two.

Can't blame him though, pizza for breakfast is magic

[ChubbyPoacher]

That's what McHell does

I know, hence the Lappish bit.
Killed me gag

Speaking of Lord Lethargy, he's up for fandabbydozy Sunnuntai, and the yak-tamer reckons he might make it too.

You in or out?

Well then I expect you on the Kings Road giving those Chelsea rentboys a good..er fisting.

Now you talk of 'labor costs' as an economic term and lo and behold it means the extra compensations and overhead for an employee. I doubt if anyone working with these matters has ever spoken of 'labor costs' as meaning that.

And now you have Italians having all these 'extras' (health costs and whatever) come to a total of 22% - and Finnish 'extras' to be 50% - whose 'hat' did you pull these numbers out of?

Please don't - then - throw the term 'naive' around - thanks

I don't know who you been talking to but:

1. I was talking about labor costs to an employer
2. there's no cost incurring from labor to an employee... employee does not pay to work, it's the employer.
3. labor cost = työvoimakustannukset

labor cost
Definition

Wages paid to workers during an accounting period on daily, weekly, monthly, or job basis, plus payroll and related taxes and benefits (if any).

If you read the post, I said For example... I don't know what the labor costs are in Italy, but I do know that in Finland they are among the highest in Europe.

So stop being naive, Janiheisk and stop trolling the site...
