Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia served up a slice of justice this weekend, dishing on the problem with Chicago style pizza: It isn’t actually pizza.

“It’s very tasty, but it’s not pizza,” Scalia told the Chicago Sun-Times. “[It] shouldn’t be called pizza.”


This is neither the first time Scalia has issued a controversial ruling nor the first time he has weighed in on the real origins of pizza.

“It should be called ‘a tomato pie.’ Real pizza is Neapolitan [from Naples, Italy],” he said to the Sun-Times in February 2012. “It is thin. It is chewy and crispy, OK?”
