Get it delivered from Chicago.

Chicago Deep Dish used to be awesome, now they skimp on their ingredients.

The "Chicago Deep Dish" chain is horrible. They just put the regular amount of toppings on a really thick slab of dough. Real Chicago Deep Dish has a lot of toppings and a relatively thin crust.

I don't know if there's anywhere in Calgary that makes a real Chicago-style pizza.

Hmm, if people are THAT against it here...what would be some of the better options for pizza in Calgary in your opinions again that deliver.

Thanks.

Where are you? The best places usually have limited delivery areas.

Spiros on 17th is good for a thicker pizza....I also really like matadors in varsity (nw)

One slice of real Chicago deep dish pizza is nearly enough to feed a family. Not sure where you can get that here.

Haha...and I'm SW close to the Woodbine area.

Yeah I love Matadors. Their house salad dressing is like crack, too. I once gave the waitress $10 to fill up a giant styrofoam to-go container with it.

Here's a pizza thread I started about a year ago. You can browse through it if you wish. I'm also in Woodbine.

You guys should go on a pizza double date.

Flash Walken · 07-15-2010, 11:03 AM

Matadors is the only (good) memorable deep dish I've had.

HeartsOfFire · 07-15-2010, 11:16 AM

Deep dish sucks. Thin crust is the way to go.

Are you talking about the dill one? I pretty much beg them to just give me as much of it as I can every time I am there. It serves two purposes as well: salad dressing and pizza crust dip

Agreed. Go to the Calgary suburb of "Chicago". It's only about a 3 hour plane ride. Pizzaria Uno or Pizzaria Due are good bets, if a bit toursty.

I was surprised how delicious it actually was. REALLY delicious.

I thought Atlas has pretty good thick crust pizza... of course a lot of people just do thin crust here in Oklahoma so...... However I found Atlas pizza quite thick to my standards and very tasty!
