Scary Pizza, for Chicagoans

20071031halloweenslicedude-64x64.pngYou thought you were going to get off easy, Chicago? No way, man. We all know you hate the thin, crisp slices that typify the New York school of pizza. So I'm subjecting your Windy City eyes to your own version of hell:

The Hellmouth, as far as Chicago pizza-lovers are concerned:

More thin crusted horrors await you after the jump, my broad-shouldered friends. Bwahahaha!

You probably hate coal-ovens pizza, don't you?

And you loathe perfectly balanced toppings without the megastuffed goodness of your deep-dish pies:

And this boast totally rubs you the wrong way, don't it?

What's that? Oh, you're crying? OK. I'll let up on you. ... Or will I? Bwahahahaha!

Hey, they should make the crust look charred in the DiFara sign!

By the way, I love the Halloween-themed slice logo. It's so cute!

I really like all the coal-fired and wood-fired pizzerias here in Chicago - they avoid the floppy, flaccid crusts and light, underseasoned toppings that for some perverse reasons New Yorkers seem to take pride in.

Cute, except that thin-crust pizza IS far and away the predominant style in Chicago. Deep dish and stuffed is for tourists and special occassions. We do, however, cut our thin pizzas in squares instead of pie-shaped slices.
