Chicago Deep Dish: Pizza or Casserole? || Really Dough?

It’s one of the oldest debates. Is Chicago deep dish really a pizza? Some call it a casserole, other’s an abomination. Jon Stewart once attacked the pizza on national television claiming, "This is tomato soup in a bread bowl. This is an above ground marinara swimming pool for rats." So on this episode of Really Dough? Scott and Mark are tackling the great debate with a classic Chicago deep dish pie from Emmett’s in Manhattan. Will Mark call it a pizza? Will Mark kick Scott out? Pizza is one of the most customizable foods in history. Tomato sauce, white sauce, artichoke cream sauce, broccoli, M&M’s, pineapple, edible 24K gold -- a pizza can be anything your heart desires. But should it? Renowned pizza nerd Scott Wiener is challenging the idea that pizza can be anything. He’s traveling all over America, spotlighting these Frankenstein pizzas and trying to make a case for whether these new customizations can, in fact, still be considered a pizza. In the end, Wiener takes these pizzas to Lucali to pass final judgment from the purist of all pizza purists, Mark Iacono, where he will either declare each slice “PIZZA!” or ask with complete disgust, “Really, dough???” Credits: Hosts Scott Wiener Mark Iacono Guest Emmett Burke Showrunner Keith Cecere Senior Producer Chas Truslow Producer Phoebe Melnick Director of Photography Vwodek Rucewicz Camera Operator Kevin Provost Assistant Camera Lucas Young Production Audio Nathan Bonetto Gaffer Manny Ramos Senior Editor Chris “The Editor” Murphy Associate Editor Ede Bell Crowder Colorist Thom McKenna Post Audio Aldon Baker Animators Fredy Delgado, Megan Chong Production Coordinator Roshanna Charner, Myra Rivera Production Assistants Nick Hernandez, Trask Grant, Mickey Lynch, Jason Pozarowski Line Producer Emily Tufaro Director of Development Leo Fernandez Post-Production Supervisor Daniel Byrne Supervising Producer Stasia Tomlinson Design Director Ted McGrath Executive Producer Justin Lundstrom Music Track Title: Hard Headed Bastards (Intro) Composer: Gabriel R Shadid (BMI 50%), Alexander Wolfgang Pfeffer (BMI 50%) 00:11:28 Track Title: Hark!
