Baccis pizza slices are pretty big in size too.
Its in Chicago
Too bad it tastes like balls. It's basically pizza for drunks who don't mind its only redeeming quality being that it's a huge-ass slice of something to annihilate the after-bar munchies.
And that photo is an excellent illustration of how how it never occurred to Chicagoans, accustomed as we are to having our thin-crust cut into little squares, to fold a slice of pizza in half lengthwise to keep it from drooping in the middle.

It's $5 now, but that does include a fountain soda with free refills.
Yeah it's pizza. Same basic ingredients, same basic shape, same basic cooking method. No, it's not lasagna in a pan. Lasagna is a pasta dish. Chicago pizza is not pasta.

Chicago "pizza" bares no resemblance to authentic pizza. Its a midwest style food, to pad the ribs of hearty folks in heavy winters. Its appeal is typically restricted to a few enclaves of midwest expats. Its like a casserole in a dish.

Well true, it bares no resemblance to conventional pizza. It just has a crust, and mozzarella cheese, and tomato-based sauce, and optional ingredients like sausage, pepperoni, onions, and/or green peppers, etc. piled on top of each other and baked in an oven -- kinda like, you know, a pizza. It's not really that exotic, it's just a slight variation on the method of preparation. It may be a different form of pizza than you're accustomed to, but it's still pizza.
Newsflash: No American-style pizza bares a particularly close resemblance to "authentic" pizza.

How could you call something that starts with a 1 pound sausage patty a slight variation of preparation? NY style is miles closer to a typical Italian style pizza. Chicago deep dish is a tourist dish, no one pitches Pizzera Uno when they want to show off what a great Chicago pizza is. Again, its a midwest variation, where people like plates piled high, with excessive amounts of cheese and meat on everything. Chicago -NY pizza should be Chicago thin vs Ny thin crust. To each their own.

Because it doesn't start off with a 1 pound sausage patty," that's how. I know of exactly one chain that uses a sausage patty. Of course sausage in any form an optional ingredient, not some sort of intregal part of Chicago-style pizza.
If it's pork roll, then it's a Philly thing. If it's taylor ham, then it's an NYC thing. Translated: it's a NJ thing.
Taylor Ham or pork roll is purely a NJ thing, it is neither a NYC or Philly thing. Taylor Ham was invented by a New Jerseyan named John Taylor. "Pork Roll" is the generic name, Taylor Ham is the original brand name. In other words, Taylor Ham is to pork roll what Kleenex is to facial tissues.
In any case, it is purely a NJ thing, with some availability in NYC and moreso in Philly - seems Philly took to it more.
Also, the famous Jersey breakfast sandwich of Taylor Ham, egg, and cheese with black pepper and ketchup on a Kaiser Roll is literally the BEST breakfast in the world!
