God I miss him so much. Watching him at the end of night, he made you feel sane again, like it wasn’t you, the world really is insane, but we can at least laugh about it.
This video misses the start of the bit- where he raised a champagne glass in toast (something about the tallest building in the US), only to then break it in his grip when some pundit says that pizza in Chicago is still better than in NYC. You can see the broken glass on his desk.
We drove to Chicago last year just to try this. There’s no point in comparing it with anything else. It’s legit delicious as a culinary experience, not just as pizza.
For someone who never missed The Daily Show, I remember this well. There was also a war between Chicago DeepDish and NY Pizza. Hilarious. Miss JS, he would have had all his content written with everything that happened in our country after his departure from TDS.
This is one of those “meant in good humor” things that people take too seriously. If you watch this and think “Yeah! Stewart is saying deep dish sucks so it sucks!”, I suggest you actually get some deep dish in Chicago before agreeing.
Chicagoan here. Deep dish is ok, but not our everyday pie. It’s essentially the Navy Pier of pizza (tourist trap!). What you *do* want when you come here is “tavern” style: semi-thin/thin crust, square cut.

He is right though : that is not a pizza. That is a quiche at best.

Call it what you want, it’s still fucking delicious.
Gabaghoul.
I’ve always agreed with John here… you must first completely disqualify Chicago style pizza as a pizza if NY style pizza has any hope of competing.
Now, all of you, go get some Pequod’s and shut your fucking mouths.
Who doesn’t love a can of fried onions on top of a casserole that the mid-west convinced itself is pizza.
Where’s the cheese?!

“Whooo’er!”
Deep dish is good, but imo it’s not “pizza.”
Different ratio of ingredients, prepared a different way, with a unique taste and texture to other styles of pizza
I’ll never understand this shit. If you want NY style, *have it*. If you want Chicago style, *have it*.
They both taste awesome, why you bitching? Seriously, what a stupid thing to hang your identity on…
Man he is the GOAT. I hope he runs for president some day lol.
This and him roasting Trump for eating pizza with fork are gold.
My definition is that (generally speaking) pizza doesn’t need silverware, while deep-dish usually requires a fork (or in really bad cases, a spoon).
It’s cheese and tomato soup quiche – the end

When I’m drunk I want to know I’m not not going to drown in my pizza.
Lol. Classic

100% correct.
I agree with Jon. I’ve not had pizza in NYC but have in Chicago and he’s right. I can’t imagine ever eating another.
Timeless classic right here.
It’s a pie, and not the pizza kind.
Those giant, flappy ass NY style pizzas aren’t exactly good either.
I am from Chicago, my wife is from New Jersey. Chicago pizza vs. New York Pizza will be an argument in my household until death do us part.
Them good ol days
He isn’t wrong. When I was in Chicago I went to a very well known pizzeria. Was not impressed.
He was the best.
