It has been a while since I’ve updated so I apologize, especially to Jesse who let me know he was very disappointed in me.
Up next we have Chicago Phil’s deep dish pizza. Chicago Phil’s is the one place I really wanted to check out, I pass by it every day, see the deep dish pizza sign and think to myself “Yeah, yeah I want a real good deep dish pizza.”
When we finally got around to going the service was great, we chatted with the manager a bit, and he even gave us some very wise advice “Don’t order double mushrooms on a deep dish pizza because the mushrooms absorb water and can mess with the pizza.” Ordering a deep dish is an epic event at Chicago Phil’s, you need to choose a lot of toppings. So we painstaking went through the toppings, and came up with broccoli, mushrooms, bacon, feta cheese, pepperoni, sausage. There might have been more but I cannot remember them at the moment. Anyway, we ordered it and went on our way. *It takes about 45 minutes just to cook one of these suckers because there is so much involved.
When we got the pizza home and opened the box I was hit with a wave of mixed emotions. It smelt great, looked tasty, but something was missing. This could just be a personal thing for me, but I’m a sauce guy, and this deep dish pizza had barely any sauce. It made eating it a little less enjoyable. Don’t get me wrong it tasted great, but it was kind of dry. The one other thing that bothered me was the crust, it didn’t feel like a deep dish crust, I could see it being a great crust for a regular pizza, but there was nothing that made it stand out as a deep dish crust to me.
Over all the pizza was good, I may have hyped myself up a bit, and we are definitely going to try Chicago Phil’s again and get a regular pizza.

True Chicago deep dish should have sauce on top actually. By the way, the crust is supposed to be thin. The “deep” in deep dish is that is has many layers of toppings, somtimes a double layer of crust, and sauce. Deep dish is not really thick crust despite what we have come to know in Canada as “deep dish”.
