That said, deep-fried pizza IS a thing, and much to my surprise, it was apparently invented in Italy.
i grew up near a place that had something they called a ponza rotta.
it was the pizza equivalent of a chimichanga. it was a deep fried calzone. my high school had a tradition of trying to run a ponza mile instead of a beer mile. last one to puke after eating a whole ponza and running a mile won. only ever knew one person to actually finish the mile.
High school hazing rituals are wild, man.
Panzarotti?
yeah that’s about it, but they call it as i spelled it.
Scots do it too.
Chicago deep dish pizza is more akin to eating the deep fryer, there is so much oil in it.

Sadly you’re part wrong, Chicago Style Pizza is very different from Detroit’s Deep-Dish. Deep-Dish Pizza is born out of motor city cooking za in automotive pans, with a thick crunchy crust, while Chicago Pizza is made by morons who don’t know how to make anything that isn’t oversauced lasagne.

Sorry, but no one thinks of Detroit when they hear deep dish pizza.

That’s untrue, but they are wrong, in both places are known for deep dish pizza.

I wasn’t even familiar with Detroit style pizza, but after looking it up, I think “thick crust” would be a better description.
It does look very tasty though.

Chicago definitely for a fact is known for “Chicago Deep Dish Pizza”. Its not called “Chicago Pizza” because Chicago has a lot of style pizzas, and another famous style named after it. Chicago thin crust/tavern style.
