We get a lot of visitors at the office from out of town. Inevitably, we always take them out for deep dish pizza for lunch. I wish Chicago was known for like salads or something.

Much prefer a Detroit style deep over the tomato paste pile that Chicago serves. But then there's StL style ... :-/
I've only relatively recently (within the last two years) discovered Detroit style pizza and I'm angry no one told me about it before then.
My favorite around here is Racanelli's, which has New York style; the best part is I can get it by the slice, and they really pile it on with the bacon cheeseburger pizza.
You know about the King Arthur & Kenji recipes, right?
That King Arthur recipe was a revelation. I always make two, first with cubed roasted sweet potatoes, pancetta, goat cheese, mozzarella with an olive oil drizzle and topped with arugula once cooked, second is a pie of left over smoked meats (brisket with salad verde, pork with Japanese bbq and a drizzle of sriracha and olive oil), garlic, peppers, and onions on both (or friend shallots if I’ve got the patience).
Detroit style is my favorite, but Midwestern tavern style runs a strong second.
I’ve never had Quad Cities-style and will rectify that whenever I pass through that area again.

If you like the idea of a 21st century Phil Ochs, I encourage you to get in on the presale for the Jesse Welles concert nearest to you.
