I went to Chicago for work in 2011 and I've always been a fan of thin pizza, still am to be honest.
But the deep pan pizza I had there was unreal, 2 slices I was written off though like previously been stated.

I love Chicago style pizza. If anyone is in London then Japes is a great place for one
If ever in the states then get some Lou Malnatis
Love Detroit pizza as well and easy to make your own with an appropriate pizza pan - Slice in a boro does an ok version of these
I don't think it's like quiche but it is very dense and heavy on cheese and sauce
They're small but very filling

ALDI do the best stuffed crust pizza in my opinion. But you still can't beat a proper one ordered over the phone

Is Detroit the square thin style? Think I had one a few years back in NYC.

Detroit is quite a thick crust cooked in a square or rectangular tin. They're usually layered with a heavy amount of cheese with sauce on the top. The tins are inexpensive and because of amount of cheese they are very filling and easy to make at home in a regular oven. The cheese drips down the size of the tin meaning they have a crispy cheese edge along the dough
NY style are like what we call thin and crispy here

I'm not a massive fan of pizza in general, however similar to Detroit pizza is Golden Boy in San Francisco's North Beach. Sold by the slice in a dive bar, with only 4 flavours to choose from and served straight out the oven to burn the roof of your mouth.
Eaten best after getting up at 5am to watch a PL match in a North Beach bar, and getting Golden Boy for your breakfast at about 11am with another couple of pints.

There used to be a well know pizza restaurant in London called the Chicago Pizza Pie Factory. Think it was housed in Hanover Square if I am not mistaken. It was massive with over 250 covers. Closed in the late 90s

A couple of years ago Chicago Town pizzas were uncookable and always ended up sloppy but something has changed, and if you cook them correctly, the dough rises and they are very good value for money.
When almost done, put some extra mozza on and stick it under the grill

A lot of these look like bread with pizza topping on rather than pizzas.

Not actually greasy at all (except the fat from the pepperoni as it's cooked)

Yeah it was in Hanover Square. It was set up by a guy from Chicago who had moved to UK. There were a few around Europe also, I worked on setting up the Madrid one in 1990. In pre Internet days, hours and hours of Chicago radio were taped and played as the soundtrack to the restaurants along with loads of videos of Bears, Blackhawks, Cubs and Bulls matches which were shipped in to be played in the bar area. Toilets always confused customers as they were simply titled 'Elton and 'Olivia-Newton'. Owner was killed in a car crash and it ran its course as 90s progressed
