Deep-dish pizza is polarizing for tourists, newbies, and longtime Chicagoans. It’s mockingly referred to as a casserole rather than pizza, but some love the thick, crusty base filled with gooey cheese and topped with sauce.

Host Jacoby Cochran talks to some deep dish fans and foes and pushes back on what it even means to be a “real” Chicagoan. Plus, some spots to check out if you’re fan.
