It was bad enough when the Canadians started adding pineapple.
Confession, I love pineapple, I eat it every day at breakfast and I love Pizza too. Duh.
But there are heathens out there committing heresy...

I'm no John Stewart fan, but that was pretty good.

I'm originally from Chicago and the kind pictured below is actually more popular there (than deep-dish) and it's the way my father would make them at home:
Chicago-style tavern-style thin-crust pizza
...While in New York, bakers who had immigrated from Italy made pizzas using the traditional method of tossing the dough by hand; the tavern owners who first developed Chicago's thin-crust pizza instead rolled their dough or used mechanical sheeters. This led to thinner crusts than those present in hand-tossed pizzas.
This pizza is cut into squares, also known as "tavern-style" or "party cut", as opposed to wedges. The name "tavern-style" comes from the pizzas originally being served in taverns, often as an enticement to drink alcohol. This origin in taverns is also linked to the pizza's shape, as the square shape of the slices made it possible for taverns that did not have plates to instead set them on napkins....

One of my favorite local places, Consul's in Endicott, cuts their grilled like that. They use a piece of butcher paper instead of a box for to go.

Exactly. Deep dish pizza is not pizza. It's a casserole.

In Philly, I grew up midway between Taconelli's (thin crust pizza) and Santucci's Square Pie.
<sigh> not allowed to post a link or picture yet. But I posted and then came back and added the picture.
don't tell the spammers.
Trust me, just look up Santucci's Square Pie. Don't drool.

When I was a kid we had a place nearby that did tomato pie. I'm not sure if they kept it up.
