Okay. I'm a thin-crust guy, but I'm not here today to bash your cherished deep-dish.
But I want to know something from the people who prefer pizza casserole to real pizza....

Why is the tomato sauce the top layer?

Wouldn't covering it with some cheese that would get browned taste better?
I'm not saying take away the cheese inside, but what's the benefit to having the tomato sauce exposed to the direct heat?

A thin crust pizza is baked at 500+ degrees for no more than 10 minutes, caramelizing the toppings in the process. Deep dish, on the other hand, is baked for 20+ minutes at ~450 degrees. When you have the tomato sauce on the surface of the pizza the toppings beneath retain most of their moisture. Usually there's a layer of sausage and vegetables above the cheese, further preserving the moisture below.

The cheese protects the dough, the toppings protect the cheese, and the sauce on top should thicken up due to direct exposure to heat. Totally different experience to traditional pizza.

[Anonymous No.5987371]

I don't feel like googling it but if I remember correctly, it does have to do with avoiding the cheese being exposed to the heat. I don't know how long deep dish has to bake, but I assume long enough for any exposed cheese to burn.

This is a bullshit thread, but I'll feed the troll, pun intended.

Not all deep dish pizza's are the same, Detroit vs. Chicago.

Second, Chicago is famous for thin crust pizza as well, super crisp crust, not chewy NY style.

Third, I hate that picture, it's crust, cheese and red stuff, I don't know what the red stuff is, this is why so many ignoramus people call it casserole.

In reality, there isn't that much crust, but enough that you do NOT need a fork to eat it, I leave that to the girls. Sometimes there is a top layer of crust, not needed. Mostly, there is a pound or two of meat in that bad boy, mixed with cheese...no sauce.

Sometimes crushed tomato added to the top. This is in place of a sauce, so you get tom's on top.

correct, it started in the new yorker in the 60s which claimed that Goldberg's Pizzaria was the best that you could find in New York.

Goldberg's served Chicago Style Deep Dish at the time.

Huh. So it all started because New Yorkers got butthurt over an accurate observation by their own newsmagazine that placed Chicago pizza at the top.

And in Jew York, police shoot unarmed "totally innocent" black men.

I have to admit, this does make NYC sound better than Chicago, where the niggers roam the streets assaulting people at random. So, you do have a point there.
