Upside Down Square Or “Brooklyn Style” Pizza
Confession time, boys and girls: I am a pizza purist, but even I have a weakness. A good slice of square pizza is capable of knocking my socks off, and when prepared correctly, it is the greatest thing on Earth.
This is for people who love the thin crust and convenience of classic, New York cheese pizza, but also the thickness of deep dish. If you’re the kind of person who wants to go on an “Anchorman”-esque trip to Pleasure Town via the Flavor Expressway, this is the pizza for you.
Am I using this category to profess my love for a particular pizza place in South Brooklyn? Absolutely. But that’s what this kind of pizza is all about–this is the pizza for people who truly love and care about their pizza (or any kind of food). These are the people who are willing to travel an hour out of their way just for a slice of delicious pizza, or plan detours on their trips for particular foods they can’t get anywhere else. This is for the craziest of foodies, who want only the best things in life and will do whatever it takes to get them.
…or for fat slobs like me who are obsessed with a specific kind of pizza from a particular world-famous Brooklyn pizzeria, and who uses postgrad humor websites to talk about pizza. Whichever works.
This aggression against Chicago deep dish will not stand. I have constantly craved Lou Malnati’s since my last trip to Chicago.
Lou Malnati’s is a gift from God.
There’s pizza, and then there’s the most delicious crust loaded with toppings and sauce, ON THE FING TOP!! Perfectly cooked Chicago deep dish almost makes up for everything wrong with that place, but then there is the cubs soooo….
Pure and utter slander.
I smell an “In Defense of Chicago Deep Dish Pizza” article…
Bacon pizza. That’s all I have to say about that.
I’m guess I’m just a lonely/horny weirdo who likes pineapple on meat lovers
I’ll agree that the Square from L & B’s is awesome, but how dare you call Chicago style deep dish anything but glorious? Go snort powdered everclear you douche.
I respect you for the L&B love, but Chicago Deep Dish is the Warren G. Harding of Pizzas.
Come at me, bro.
Upside Down Square? Is there something I’m missing or is that just a slice of Sicilian?
Not the most popular choice, but my favorite slice in NY is the artichoke slice at Artichoke on 14th. Heavenly.
You’re not missing something, the slice is missing something. It has no cheese. Marinara is on top, therefore it is upside down.
I like Supreme Stuffed Crust pizza. I assume this means I’m simply gluttonous.

DiGiorNo you didn’t
What about the thin vs thick crust debate?
Great. Now I have to think about what kind of person I am when I order a fucking pizza.
What about weirdos like me who love pizza, but if given the choice would pick white pizza over anything? Or this just might be me…
