I'm even more confused now, I thought the lasagne up-thread referred to ...lasagne, the pasta dish, but people call US/Chicago style deep pan pizza 'lasagne' too? I've never had one, maybe that would make more sense if I did!

Fans of the deep dish style call it pizza. It is the critics who will refer to it as a lasagna in a derogatory sense (eg "It's not real pizza"). Here is an infamous clip of Jon Stewart liking it to a casserole[0].

I was mocking Chicago style deep dish "pizza". My favorite American style is New Haven style.

People love to be riled up. It's clearly pizza but folks just love to argue.
