Both times I’ve stepped off the plane and into Chicago Midway Airport, the only thing on my mind is deep dish pizza. I made a beeline straight to Giordano’s for their famous pizza — a staple of the city.
The crispy crust and overload of sauce are what rank deep dish the highest in my pizza-loving appetite. But living 500 miles away from my favorite restaurant makes it hard to immediately satisfy any cravings, so I embarked on a quest to find the best deep dish pizza in Kansas City.
When I googled “deep dish pizza in KC” the first thing to pop up and highest rated was Third Coast Pizza — and for good reason.
After internet stalking the restaurant and drooling over the beautiful pizzas, I walked up to the register and ordered the cheese deep dish pizza. After being told the pizza would take about 35 minutes to come out, I decided to order the meatball appetizer to soothe my hunger.
The appetizer had two meatballs covered in marinara sauce — which was great to save space for the 10” plate of heaven headed my way.
The pizza was one of the prettiest things I’ve ever seen — the intense globs of sauce made me visibly giddy. Once I took a bite, my happiness increased even more. The sauce-to-cheese ratio was impeccable, and it even stayed on the slice — which, in comparison to the other pizzas I tried, is apparently a lot to ask.
I’d go back to Third Coast Pizza any day of the week. It’s the closest to Giordano’s I’ve tasted without having to buy an $87 plane ticket and fly an hour.
With four customers eagerly crammed inside the small takeout lobby of Rosati's Pizza, my expectations were high.
When I opened the to-go box in my car, I almost sped home with excitement. The strong smell of the pizza sauce made me nostalgic for the Windy City.
The gooey cheese and perfectly-cooked crust made my heart happy — the only issue being its lack of sauce. When I picked up a slice, almost all of the sauce slid off. The piece was dry without it, causing me to dip it into the pile of sauce from my fallen pizza like a breadstick.
One notable aspect of the pizza is the crust. It’s difficult to bake something with such a thick crust in a reasonable amount of time — only 25 minutes — without burning it or leaving it undercooked, which Rosati’s did perfectly.
Although its lack of sauce made it taste like a glorified cheesy bread stick, I’m not completely opposed to going back. However, the speeding ticket on the way back wouldn’t be completely worth it.
For a restaurant that’s named after the city, you’d think they would know their pizza. Wrong. On the Old Chicago website they claim to serve “traditional Chicago-style deep dish” — and after I tried their pizza, I’m not sure what they’re talking about.
After browsing the menu, I ordered the classic deep dish cheese pizza. I was surprised when the waitress came back less than 15 minutes later — Giordano’s pizzas take around 45 minutes to cook all the way through. Despite my worry, I carried on.
The pizza was presented in a deep dish pan, but didn’t remotely resemble its gloriously oversauced model. The thick crust looked more like the puffy crust on DiGorno oven-baked pizzas, and the sauce was under the cheese.
Yes, you heard it right. Under. The. Cheese.
The easiest way to identify a deep dish pizza is by the large vat of sauce placed right on top.
I was already disappointed by the appearance, but to top it all off, the crust was undercooked, making it doughy and chewy. Oh and there was a strand of hair on the first piece I grabbed — ew.
I never thought I’d fall for a romance scam, but it happened. I met someone on a popular dating site who seemed genuine, kind, and emotionally supportive. Over time, we developed what I thought was a real connection. Then came the stories—emergencies, business problems, and travel issues—and before I knew it, I had sent over $85,000 trying to help them.
When they suddenly disappeared and deleted their profile, my world came crashing down. I was heartbroken and ashamed. A friend encouraged me to reach out to Steve Wozniak Wizard, and honestly, I didn’t expect much. But he was incredibly professional, compassionate, and efficient.
He handled everything discreetly, launched a full investigation, and within a few weeks, they recovered almost all of my lost funds. I couldn’t believe it—after being scammed emotionally and financially, I finally had some justice and closure.
Steve Wozniak Wizard didn’t just recover my money, he helped me reclaim my peace of mind. If you’ve been scammed online, don’t stay silent. These people know what they’re doing, and they genuinely care.

Deep dish is tourist pizza. We Chicageoans eat thin crust cut I to squares. Also, just cheese?? Uggh! Where was the sausage, green pepper and onion? If you like mushrooms those are included as well. None of what you ordered is truly Chicago pizza.
