>is a deep dish pizza just a quiche? I've never had one so im curious.
deep dish pizza is NOT like quiche Iwhich savory egg custard and is baked in a traditional pie crust).
Deep dish is just pizza flavors, ie seasoned tomato sauce, italian sausage with parm, and lots of mozzarella 3inches thick, with a crust that is more like yeast risen buttery brioche bread crust. It is knife and fork meal, not eaten in the hands. Most people are utterly full after one rich slice. Look up Lou Malnatis to find some video press.
Even Chicagoans eat the other kind of pizza as much as their deep dish mood. It's like do you want simple spagetti or a baked dish like stuffed shells. Mood.

>So what is the drunken fare in your country. In Australia we have the Halal Snack Pack.
Miami, Florida native.
24/7 kind of city, where a lot of late night choices exist after a long night of fun dancing, concert, festival, night on the beach, or whatever you've been up to.

You've got the Taco Bell drive-thru kind of people that want a Baja Blast, and like a little supreme taco for a drive home.
You've got the McD griddle and like a cold drink or coffee, yay it's almost breakfast time.
If you want to go somewhere and sitdown and have that final meal with your friends, might go to like a LaCaretta or other cuban place, big platter of comforting homemade food and a cortadito or another beverage. Think croquetas, pan con bistec, black beans, maybe just a flan with it all. Wishing the night doesn't end. Something will be open.
Could be pizza rustica, or going to Casolas. Sitting out at News Cafe or Lincoln Road, used to be one of my favorites. Segafredo.

2nd tier idea

Miami Beach does better premade slices. That italian stuff looks doughy and gross. If I had to order, I'd get that calzone at the side, or maybe the mushroom or eggplant slices and just eat off the toppings, mostly.

This. If it's the lower tier discount pizza, then the greasy but not even crispy edged wtft pepperoni I guess, because you know the pictured crust will suck and the cheese will be minimal without flavor, and either way, you'll likely reach for a good coating of Parmesan, sprinkle of garlic and chili flakes even, just to get it down.

Good cheese needs nothing else, but I love even a simple onion or mushroom, or a basic margherita, or 4 cheese, no sauce, with nice clumps of ricotta on there. Thin and charred new haven style with some bacon and clams and potatoes to thick crust and chewy rustica and even Malnati's sausage deep dish. It's all good for whatever mood. My own preferences for toppings aren't strict food rules for myself that other people MUST HAVE, nor any kind of pickiness. I like it all, but just want something of quality or probably skipping low tier, for something else like something with a salad on top or a calzone on the, something that forces a chef to actually make something he can't sit out under a heat lamp.

>Based or cringe?
I've reached a point in my life where I understand that good ranch dressing has devolved into shitty lowest cost ranch pasteurized in a plastic sysco container, or even nondairy entirely, horrible bottled dressing that tastes like rancid oil, soybean oil, or stale herbs and from some 3rd world economy.

Good ranch dressing is a delicious thing. Very very delicious. Dipping a crust into something delicious should not be a problem, no matter if it belongs with or on pizza at all. So I wouldn't be against it. Buttermilk, dill, parsley and zestiness would be fine on bread. In fact I live dill bread. There's a pizza place near me that covers crust in dill and garlic butter, as an appetizer bite.

While I don't think pizza needs more than delicious cheese or chili flakes or a few torn basil leaves, I love a well dressed arugula salad on top for the differences in textures and flavors all at once, or a caprese salad topped pizza or all those luscious olives, meat, and cheese with balsamic tang.
