The
new
location
near
Nanjing
Fuxing
is
much
smaller,
and
the
deep
dish
feels
a
little
less
substantial
than
I
last
remember
it
from
the
original
location.
(See
the
photo
of
the
slice
being
lifted
up.)
Flavor
still
good,
and
this
time
I
didn’t
detect
the
“Taiwanese
bakery
butter”
flavor,
yay.
BBP
will
do
if
you
need
a
fix
in
Taipei.
Old

reviews:
Get
your
Chicago
style
deep
dish
pizza
fix
here!
Tasty
stuff;
so
happy
to
see
it
here.
Their
thin
crust
is
also
good,
with
a
crispy
bottom
(although
I
suspect
New
Yorkers
would
debate
its
authenticity).
You
can
even
preorder
pizzas
with
a
reservation
so
that
they're
ready
to
serve
when
you
arrive!
The
grand
slam
deep
dish
(No.1/大滿貫深盤)
hit
the
spot.
The
butter
crust
has
walls
that
are
nice
and
tall,
not
quite
as
thin
as
say
Lou
Malnati’s,
but
still
crusty
and
flavorful
(and
the
little
extra
softness
probably
makes
it
easier
to
eat
anyway).
A
few
other
notes:
1)
was
hoping
for
more
cheesy
goodness
when
pulling
out
that
first
slice,
such
as
the
experience
eating
at
Giordano’s;
2)
the
sausage
in
the
grand
slam
is
not
a
uniform
layer,
but
rather
the
sausage
is
dotted
all
over,
since
they
appear
to
make
a
layer
of
a
mix
of
the
three
meats;
3)
the
crust
appears
to
use
the
same
butter
as
Taiwanese
bakeries
do,
so
the
flavor
gives
me
memories
of
those
places.
(wish
it
were
American
butter
-
Taiwan
bakeries
can
frankly
smell
too
strongly
of
this
distinctive
odor,
to
the
point
of
being
unappetizing)
4)
I
actually
like
the
chorizo
on
our
thin
crust
more
than
the
sausage
in
our
deep
dish,
but
it
did
have
a
good
fennel
sausage
flavor.
Still
miss
sausage
from
Chicago
though.
An
8"
deep
alone
is
probably
good
for
two
people.
I
split
a
12"
thin
as
well
to
start
since
it
takes
an
hour
to
bake
a
deep
dish,
so
couldn't
eat
more
than
one
quarter
of
the
deep
dish.
Unsurprisingly
you'll
pay
a
bit
more
here
than
in
Chicago
(paid
~650nt
each),
but
as
a
Chicago
area
native,
this
place
satisfied
my
craving,
despite
a
few
quibbles.
🍕
Tried
more
pizzas;
turns
out
I
like
the
Hot
Summer/墨西哥深盤more
than
the
No.1
and
Veg
Barrel/蔬菜,
as
I
like
their
chorizo
the
most
it
seems.
It
also
does
have
a
little
heat
to
it,
woohoo!
Their
Funghi
Delight/蘑菇
is
not
bad
either,
but
South
of
the
Border/南方
was
tastier
(chorizo!).
Now
if
only
they
had
spinach
deep
dish
pies!
;)
