I'm from the Chicago area. Thin crust? He's a heretic.

Hardly.

I'll put the thin crust of Home Run Inn up against any Chicago deep dish soup any day ... :)

I'm being intentionally provocative, but people really underestimate how many things need to work together to get GOOD pizza, even if you get the ingredients right--that's why I love articles like this from J. Kenji López-Alt.

Home Run Inn literally invented the style, FYI.

I'm older, and before they were big I think I had moved out of the area.

I grew up in Beverly and didn't have deep dish pizza once until I moved out of my parents house. The style of pizza Kenji is writing about here is "Chicago pizza" for me.
