New Yorkers, and people from New England, generally dismiss Chicago style pizza has not being pizza at all. They might like it in the way that you can like chicken Parmesan and chicken soup and know that those two things are not the same.

But, whether you love Chicago style pizza, or dismiss it as a variation on lasagna, it’s sad to see an iconic pizza chain close it doors.
