It’s not like @Stranger_On_A_Train hasn’t been mentioned (frequently) but this post had me almost choke due to laughing so hard.

For most people who aren’t from Chicago, when they hear “Chicago style pizza,” they picture only a deep dish and/or stuffed pizza, as that’s the style which gets press, and to which tourists tend to get steered. But, there’s a completely different Chicago style, which, IME, is what locals actually eat more often – it has a very thin crust (usually a crisp “cracker crust”), and gets cut into smallish squares (“tavern cut”), like so:

What the…they cut the pizza into squares? Like Showbiz Pizza for little children that can’t handle a whole slice? What is the point of that? Pizza is a trigonometric expression of analytical cuisinometry, hence the name. It is supposed to come in slices measuring in fractions of 𝞹, not rectangles and weird little leftover off-angle segments like some kind of failed origami experiment. If anything, that is worse than deep dish pizza, which is at least half-honest in its description. How do you even eat that? With chopsticks? Everything about this is so wrong in a Lovecraftian cosmic horror sort of way.
