Deep-dish or Neapolitan? That was the hard-hitting issue that Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia addressed at a recent event at the Chicago-Kent School of Law. Much to the displeasure of the Chicago crowd to whom he was speaking, Scalia ruled that the Windy City's hearty style of pizza, while sufficiently tasty, is incomparable to New York's traditional thin crust because it is not actually pizza.

"I do indeed like so-called 'deep-dish pizza.' It's very tasty," Justice Scalia told the conference attendees the Chicago Sun-Times reports. "But it should not be called 'pizza.' It should be called 'a tomato pie.' Real pizza is Neapolitan [from Naples, Italy]. It is thin. It is chewy and crispy, OK?" This is not the first time the issue has come up for Justice Scalia. According to the Huffington Post, Scalia told California Lawyer in January that New York pizza was "infinitely better" than the pizza in Chicago and Washington.
