That's funny to me, since I have spent decades in the Ohio Valley and have never heard of us having a style of pizza. Unless "barely edible" is a style.
edit: Oh, I remember this. Never seen it in the wild, though. After asking around, a friend tells me there's a place nearby that does sell pizza this way. (I'm still not trying it because I dont hate my tastebuds that much.)
The big names in deep dish do sell them over the internet for delivery in CONUS. Its certainly expensive to order them that way, but we've done it occasionally as a treat.
Thank you for posting. My issue is with the use of scare quotes in the title. It's a terrible title and because of it, I won't give them my click. Any organization that would use that title is only doing yellow journalism (or is so bad at writing that they dont see how it reads.)
