Pizza may just be the most debatable food out there. There are so many incredible pizzas across America, but some stoke controversy just by existing. Yes, we're talking about deep-dish pizza. Even the best deep-dish in the country is subject to scrutiny: Is a pizza that has a deep, thick crust actually a pizza pie or is it more like a casserole than a flatbread? Former "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart went after deep-dish pizza in 2013, calling it "tomato soup in a bread bowl," causing many Chicagoans to staunchly defend their signature pie.

In your opinion, Is deep-dish a pizza or a casserole?

It's a pizza. You don't call chicken-pot-pie a casserole.

It's a pizza if a different style. It has its own unique taste to it, but it is a pizza. I used to be a detractor until I tried a few from places moving near me and quite liked it. It's like Detroit style or St. Louis style or Roman or Sicilian style. All different, all pizza

Its good! Not sure what to call it, but it tastes good.
