Anywhere good in Manila for Chicago-style deep dish pizza?

I know, I know… this isn't exactly the world's number one spot for Chicago pizza. But the craving is real and I can't hold out.

Side note: I'll miss Devilcraft Pizza in Tokyo for the rest of my life. It was seriously amazing.

Crosta Pizzeria in Makati! It's closer to deep pan than deep dish, but it's legit!

Pequod's pan pizza

[Photo] This is Pequod's. Chicago pan pizza. What sets it apart is the edge of the crust. The dough is thick and soft, more pillowy than dense or biscuit-like. They press mozzarella against the side of the pan, and as it bakes that cheese caramelizes really dark, giving you a crispy, almost burnt-looking ring around the outside. That's what the place is famous for.

Deep dish is a tourist trap. Real Chicagoans eat thin-crust tavern pizza cut into squares.

Sadly, the best I found was Sbarro. I'd love to know if anyone finds something better.

Hope you find your 'Chicago style' pizza. Chicago-area guy here… just got back from a Cubs game yesterday ⚾️. As you know, Chicago's pizza culture is a lot broader than just deep dish. Here are the styles you can get here: Chicago deep dish Stuffed pizza Chicago tavern-style thin crust Pan pizza / caramelized-edge pan Chicago pub-style thin crust South Side thin crust North Side thin crust Italian bakery-style pizza Sicilian pizza Detroit style New York style Neapolitan Roman style / pizza al taglio Roman tonda Grandma style Coal-oven pizza Wood-fired artisan pizza Quad Cities style St. Louis style Great pizza (any style!) with a cold beer is hard to beat. Go Cubs Go.

I love Devilcraft in Kanda so much. I've never seen anything like it here.
