Nah, you’re mistaken, making a mislabeled pasta that is mislabeled as pizza is firmly a Chicago thing!
Detroit Deep Dish is an excellent thicc and crunchy crusted cheese-carmelized indulgence born of factory workers, whist Chicago “pizza” is a shit lasagna the domain of disappointed tourists and locals too dense to realize the sauce goes under the cheese!
No, Detroit has (optionally) a couple lines of sauce on top, and most places I know that make Detroit style skip the sauce lines. Chicago style has sauce on top of the entire thing.
Though I just looked it up and it looks like there are multiple different “Chicago style” definitions.
Chicago style is a kiddie pool of a crust filled with an alarming miasma of sauce and toppings (bafflingly, placed under the sauce). It’s more of a “savory pie” than a “pizza-pie”. Great for if you want to drown a toddler in a food item; not so great for folding up and eating as you walk around town.
They can be tasty. I just object to them being classified with the rest of the pizza genus, because they’re wildly different in terms of construction to any other pizza species.
Why is that funny or surprising? Boston is not known for its deep dish; that is Chicago.
Chicago gives a dark name to deep dish. In that cursed city, they misname their shitty lasagna so!
Yeah, a bit off the rails right now.
Thought Chicago was known for the weird-ass sauce on top of the cheese pizza.
That’s “Detroit”.

Pizza means pie.
