Pedantic.<br /><br />I used to go to this nice pizza joint in Lincoln Park and on their menu it said "We can turn any of our pizzas into a deep dish, just ask!"<br /><br />So I asked, but then I would always get some whole song and dance about why my favourite pizza could not be turned into a deep dish, but it could be made as a stuffed pizza... or vice versa.Hula Hankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02351347113128340722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071830940339914895.post-42046387112362778542011-08-11T21:06:56.064-07:002011-08-11T21:06:56.064-07:00@Vince - Isn't that the truth.

Every time we sat down to eat, we had walked 1-2 miles to get there. :)<br /><br />@Hula - There's nothing I love more than when you are pedantic...Seriously? It's not? What's deep dish then...just thick crust. I'm so confused because this is what I get when I look it up. A friend of mine just had Lou Malnati's and they call it deep dish.
