This sounds more like focaccia to me. (Something like this only with cheese and green olives).

WDE. (just made some fresh herb focaccia this week)

Yes, with lots of cheese. Sauce on the side for dipping! Pizza Hut makes it very good with their nice crispy greasy "pan" crust.

PIZZA HUT!?!?! DixieGal, you need to get back to the Land of Lincoln as soon as you can to detox that stuff from your body!! Run, run as fast as you can. There still might be time to save you. . .

Seriously, nothing wrong with the Hut, but it can't compare to anything from Chi-town!

One crusty original italian Margarita for me please, one! (I have been lusting for a slice of delish pizza for three days now but had simply no time to get one) Tomorrow I will take the time and get one from Giovanni, my favorite pizzaiolo.

Kaz, you can add me to your list of jealous people.

My wife is from Chicago... oh, and I love Gino's East!

It's lunch time and I'm hungry. I'm going to trudge to the microwave to heat up my pepperoni pizza Hot Pockets to eat at my desk. I'm so sad about it. [sniff sob]

I have always said, and frequently remind my husband, that there is just something about us girls from Chicago!

I've never actually defined what that "something" is. I'm leaving that up to interpretation!!

The best Chi-Town pizza I ever had came from the Exchequer. It's under the El, along about Thompson or thereabouts. On Michigan, turn inland at the art school for 2-3 blocks. We make a point to go there as often as possible when we visit Tim's sister and her family. OK, that's a lie. We vacation at the Exchequer and make a point to spend a little time with the family up there.

Yep. Exchequer's quite excellent. Long time I haven't been there, though. You can find them online here. Fine ribs, too!

That's my idea of a vacation!!

Oh dear Lord, I can practically smell it! I'm sooooo hungry! We will be there for a quick weekend for our goddaughter's wedding at the end of July, but I don't know if we will have a free minute to go there.

Anyone been to Uno, Wabash and Ontario, if I remember right? Deep dish tomato and cheese, hmm.

Yes. I remember the long, snaking lines you encounter outside the door.

Great pizza, though!
