SCOTUS Justice rules calling Chicago pizza to be an abuse of the term

[DinoDoc]

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia is an expert on many things, like constitutional law and also apparently regional pizza variations. Scalia was in Chicago to address the Union League Club of Chicago, and according to the Chicago Sun-Times, at one point told the crowd Chicago-style deep dish pizza "shouldn't be called pizza...It's very tasty, but it's not pizza." Scalia is not the only East Coaster to voice this opinion: in November, Jon Stewart went on an epic rant about deep dish, saying, "This is not pizza...This is tomato soup in a bread bowl. This is an above ground marinara swimming pool for rats."

Isn't it well past time for the civilized world to take direct action in order to stop Chicago from referring to a casserole as a pizza?

I don't have enough civic pride to be offended by this. Plus, I rarely eat Chicago style pizza.

But coming from Scalia? That evil bastard probably uses a fork and knife to eat pizza.

So having no leg to stand on in the 'which is better?' discussion, their only recourse is to redefine the term 'pizza'?

That's like a classic Kenobi approach to losing an argument.

Seriously, this is the most Kenobi move by Scalia ever.

Seriously, this is the most Kenobi move by Scalia ever.

In honor of New York City's One World Trade Center being named the tallest building in the U.S., besting Chicago's Willis Tower, Jon Stewart fueled NYC-Chicago rivalry with an epic rant against Chicago's deep dish pizza. "When I look at your deep dish f*ckin' pizza, I don't know whether to eat it or throw a coin in it and make a wish," Stewart says. "And if I made a wish, it would be that I'd wish for some real f*ckin' pizza."

Stewart — who has ranted about poor pizza choices before — claims deep dish is not even pizza but "a f*ckin' casserole" and just tears into every aspect of Chicago deep dish, from the sauce being on top "on display like some sort of sauce whore" to the extra thick crust. He suggests that since it gets so cold in Chicago, maybe a thick pizza is needed so folks can "cut it open and climb inside of it like a Tauntaun to keep warm." "This is not pizza," Stewart rants. "This is tomato soup in a bread bowl. This is an above ground marinara swimming pool for rats." He gets a few digs in at the Chicago dog, too.

but I love deep dish pizza and I'm not a fan of that NY pizza Stewart thinks is so great, looks like a soggy newspaper from a small town

I'd have to be hungry to eat a piece of pizza I can pick up and fold like paper with 1 hand

[Guynemer]

For once, I am in complete agreement with Justice Scalia.

What the hell is that crap?

Who thinks this could ever be appetizing?



Disgusting. Looks like a god damn casserole.

Same thread as Oerdin's wetbacks and sand ni**ers comment.
