Deepdish Pizza

[Vancouver]

Any tips on where to find a good Chicago style deepdish pizza in the Greater Vancouver area?

Like this:

Is it here someplace hiding away that I haven't found?

Cheers!

There is a deep dish pizza place on Denman, but I have not had a chance to try it there yet.

omigod Vancouver--I've mentioned looking for deep-dish pizza like that in a few threads. I would be very grateful if you actually found a spot that serves the glorious pie you posted!

OMG, that looks like the pizza my long lost "brother" brought from Chicago to Connecticut once for pre (or was it post) American Thanksgiving dinner. YUM! If it is here, we must find it!

I drove past a place yesterday on Fraser that said it had Chicago pizza, but it looked like a one slice / hole in the wall kind of place. Anyone been?

Maybe I should encourage mr. cat to start making deep dish instead of regular, he is on a pizza kick since I got him the stone at Xmas ...

That I have not seen for many a long year-nor heard tell of.....

Do you think it is the same place as the place on Denman that DarkDante gave the link to above? They seem to have a location on Fraser as well. Or is it perhaps another one?

I should spend more time clicking and less typing. Yes that seems like the right location for the one listed on the web ... hmmn, anyone who tries this fill us in (needless to say).

Darn. I was hoping that Fraser was the Chicago deepdish district with 2 of them.

I just looked at maps.google.com and it seems like that one is right next to Kedah house on fraser, eh?

Cheers!

I just wandered by the Denman location with the vague idea of trying it out... but was frightened off by the a) absolute lack of customers, b) the 'all you can eat for 6.99 (in 30 min)' sign, and c) fact that apparently for Islamic reasons they don't use pork - so good luck if you like back bacon, or most kinds of salami, on your pizza. Plus it turns out these are the guys that litter my building with flyers all the time.

I fear this is not the solution to our deep dish needs, but it will take a braver soul than I to find out.

Other options?!?!?!?!

For the sake of completeness I ran by there today. I went in - even though the outside pointed to negative possibilities. I looked at the 4 pies they had warming on the heater. Not chicago style. More like pizzahut deepdish style.

Any other options?!?!?!?!?!

I tried a denman deep dish pizza after seeing it here and it's really nothing like an authentic deep dish.

It's just a really thick crust with a normal amount of toppings. The meat lovers we had wasn't as packed with meat as some I've seen, and I actually found little chicken bones on my pizza still, but it was still a tasty pizza.

I'm not really driven to have it agin any time soon, seeing how it wasn't a big stuff deep dish pizza like I wanted, but I should have been able to tell by the price alone.

That really sucks! I guess there are no more deep dish pizza joints in Vancouver. I remember there use to be one in North Burnaby, but I forgot what the name of the place is. I know that it has been closed down.
