Deep-dish pizza
Home: Chicago
Team: Emmett’s, 50 MacDougal St between E Houston and Prince Sts (917-639-3571)
Position: Jon Stewart may question the legitimacy of deep-dish pizza—“it’s a fucking casserole”—but Windy City locals are fiercely proud of their hometown specialty. Pizzeria Uno is the official birthplace of this hefty pie, with a buttery crust that seems thick enough to hold the contents of Lake Michigan.
Batting average: New York’s first Chicago-style pizzeria fills out its rounds with sweet tomato sauce, melted mozzarella and toppings like juicy sausage; the tough crust doesn’t justify the waits both outside (up to two hours) and indoors (the baking time is 40 minutes). If you can weather the downtime for this novelty, pull a De Blasio and attack your slice with knife and fork.
On base: Small pie $16, medium pie $20, family-sized pie $28
