is worth claiming

Truly; I don't know why so many Chicagoans want to distance ourselves from it.

It – also – wholly originated in Chicago, no one's going to give us prop.s for tavern style Chicago pizza – they'll likely just forget we originated anything –, and – also (as you said) – it's fucking good and I'm tired of pretending it's not.

Every person I've known who swore up and down that it was an abomination to pizza I managed to get lost in the sauce after they finally allowed me to introduce them to it; it is amazing.
