^ It's always nice when your personal experiences (in this case: deep dish isn't very popular in Chicago except with tourists) line up with stats like this. Means yer not crazy!
And I love when people just make up stuff.
There have been no stats posted on whether Chicagoans like deep dish pizza. You made that up.
But we know Chicagoland does love deep dish pizza, because there are hundreds of deep dish pizzerias all over Chicagoland, the vast majority in places that have no tourists. Obviously those places would all be out of business if Chicagoans didn't eat deep dish pizza.
The fact that claimed Chicagoans are actually debating with me on whether or not Chicagoans eat deep dish pizza shows that people on C-D will argue anything, no matter how silly and pointless.

The fact that someone with no experience in the region is debating people who actually live there and all the stats available is frankly embarassing (but par for the course when it comes to you).
lol. That's your example of how Chicago cuisine if better then Philly? I see you're trying to compare tomato pie to Chicago deep dish pizza. Just in case you didn't know tomato pie and pizza are considered two different things in Philly. The idea that Chicago destroys Philly when it comes to Italian cuisine is laughable.

Agreed with the first part (it was obviously a joke, though, Mr Sensitive), but disagree with the second - Chicago pizza is definitely superior overall to Philly pizza.

Yet it's debatable whether or not Chicago deep dish pizza is real pizza to begin with?

Have you read a single word in this thread? It's a pizza that tourists eat. On average, over 9 out of 10 pizzas bought in Chicago are not deep dish, and it's not particularly popular with Chicagoans.
There is also a debate as to whether any pizza in New York is real pizza to begin with - ask any Italian.

So now you're going to disassociate deep dish pizza with Chicago? It's part of Chicago cuisine, so embrace it and don't run away from it. At least Philly locals are proud their cuisine and don't try to disassociate it from our city.

SEPTA announces that weekend subway service is here to stay. That's great news for Philly as it continues to improve its 24-hour transportation service.

I'm not from Chicago. However, none of my Chicago friends eat deep dish. They do, however, go completely nuts for pizza spots all over town. Actual Chicagoans on this thread have confirmed this is true, and a survey of takeout orders shows that only around 8-9% of pizzas are deep dish (and a good % of these are tourists and out-of-towners). You're not keeping up at all.
