Deep dish is a casserole to its enemies. At Malnati’s it is a craft: a biscuit-y wall, mozzarella laid down so it does not scorch, crushed tomato last. The “Lou” with sausage is the order.

Chicago also has tavern thin. Come here for the other argument — the one that needs a knife and a wait.

Buttery crust, cheese first, chunky tomatoes on top. A pie you eat with a knife.
