I'm looking for Chicago-style Pizza in ATL

It's actually stuffed. It's their signature dish -- Nancy's claims to have invented stuffed pizza so for them to not offer it makes no sense.

Pizza semantics...

I didn't say they don't offer it, I said they offer deep dish and it appears to be a deep dish in the picture on their menu, though they also say stuffed.

Stuffed pizza has a layer of dough on the top of it. Deep dish does not. I'm assuming they offer both kinds since they pioneered both.

I wouldn't say they pioneered both since Chicago-style deep dish was around for a couple decades before Nancy's ever opeoned.

I don't mean to be argumentative but Nancy's doesn't offer deep-dish. At least not the variety without the dough on top. The Chicago chains that made their name on deep-dish or stuffed have one or the other on their menu, but not both. And so it is with Nancy's.

I guess stuffed is really just a form of deep-dish, but usually "deep dish" refers to the type without the top layer of crust. I'm sure they'd make it without the top crust layer if you asked them to, but if you call Nancy's and ask for deep-dish without further clarification/detail, you're going to end up with stuffed.
