NickDG3 your standard of what’s funny is obviously very, very low. Poor bastard, I feel sorry for you. That comment wasn’t funny at all, and neither are all the other 3,000 coke jokes.
The exact origin is unknown, but many believe it was created by Italian immigrants who worked for Chicago's old Union Stock Yards in the early 1900s. They often would bring home some of the tougher, less desirable cuts of beef sold by the company. To make the meat more palatable, it was slow-roasted to make it more tender, then slow-simmered in a spicy broth for flavor. Both the roasting and the broth used Italian-style spices and herbs. The meat was then thinly sliced across the grain and stuffed into fresh Italian bread.
Definitely not cut into squares because of the Great Depression. Tavern owners invented a pizza that was super thin ( cheap to make) and more salty. The pizza was then cut into squares and given away to bar patrons for free to encourage the to buy more booze due to the saltiness, the squares are basically around because it made giving away free pizza cheaper for the bar owners
They're right--Johnnie's is the best beef. Italian Beefs are NOTHING like a steak and cheese. He should've had giardiniera and sweet peppers on that though.
A movie? Ever been ANY WHERE IN THE WORLD? I'm 50 and I've eaten a round pie cut into squares just once in my life. And that was at a really bad chain restaurant. Where I'm from if you see a round pie cut into square pieces you turn and walk away.
I think it’s just a thin crust thing. The deep dishes are triangles. Regular pizza is triangles. The first time I saw a circle pie cut in squares was on a thin crust dominos pizza.
But why does Chicago feel they need to be special and do that? It adds nothing to the pizza itself. I like how he shows no respect towards a useless thing.
@@the77don It increases the stability of the pizza in the box because most Chicago pizza places are only takeout/delivery so it allows the pizza to not come flying out and easier for people carrying it home
@@trampolinemaster11 I promise no one outside of Chicago has ever been like MAN. THIS BOX STABALIZED MY PIZZA SO WELL, IT MADE THE EXPERIENCE AND/OR PIZZA BETTER. If you can't hold the box right to where you drop it upside down or on its side, you're clearly a pathetic human. I've had 70 year old men and 300 pound 17 year olds deliver my pizza with zero problem. Chicago just sucks lmao
@@trampolinemaster11 Feel good about that medal comment? Do you watch these videos? Pres never drops the pizza box out of his hands. You just look sad now lol
Every Barstool Pizza Review: 1) Can’t remember intersecting streets 2) Can’t figure out how to open the pizza box 3) One bite, everyone knows the rules, takes 5 bites.
If you're going to recommend some out of Towner an Italian beef you definitely have to add the Italian sausage and cheese with either sweet or hot peppers. He definitely would have gave it a higher rating if he would have tried it like that.
Every Saturday night in the late 80s, when I was a kid, my dad would pick up me and my brother. We'd go to Geo's and order our pie. Then we'd go 2 doors down to the video store to rent a movie. Go pick up the pizza and head back to his apartment for the night. We loved Jonnie's beefs too. I grew up on 77th Ave in Elmwood Park. I miss those days.
I don't know about the Depression era part. I thought Chicago tavern or pub-style thin crust pizza was cut in smaller squares because it was meant to be served as appetizer food for bar patrons, easy to eat smaller pieces, and to keep the people drinking beer where their money is made. the pizza was cheap to make or was even free at one point for customers. now it's a style all its own and I love it. not every pizza is a G-D New York flop cheese coal-fired oven golden rule crust on every damn slice pizza. glad Dave did give decent scores to Giordano's and Lou Malnati's. some deep dish pizza is bad ass. and some is for the tourists. there's great pizza everywhere. hope he does Detroit pizza soon unless i've missed those vids.
"It has squares" "Well it was because of the great depression; you can feed more people with it." It's like the joke about the pizza guy asking if you want it cut into 6 slices or 8. "Cut it into 6, because there's no way I can eat 8"
Grew up eating Geo's and it was the best pizza we've had, suddenly became our movie night go-to each week. I've moved since then but now I am going to plan a day to go pick some up for the family. It'll be interesting to see if my view of it has changed since I was a child.
And the seasoning of the beef is like oregano and shit. Also at Johnnies you gotta get a italian beef/italian sausage juicy combo with sweet peppers. 9.8 sando
I mean - I love Dave and I think his personality is what makes him successful. That being said, no one ever accused him of being a smart guy. He's the biggest pizza reviewer in the world and it's a large part of what made him famous and successful in other endeavors but he cannot seem to figure out certain pizza boxes. He also cannot seem to ever say coal-fired pizza or coal-fired oven and instead says cold-fired. Even during his John's review where he realized that he loved coal-fired and just got a full explanation of the oven and it's story he not only was calling it cold-fired but he also mistakenly called it wood-fired. He cannot pronounce the names of guests or restaurants much of the time or the streets they're on. He's just a bro. I think he was grumpy in this episode. Chicago is not a pizza city. There's 5 places I'd take someone in Chicago to show them what it's all about and none of them are pizza places. 1 - Byron's Hot Dogs and he'd have to get it dragged through the garden. 2 - Johnnie's Beef, Italian beef wet hot and sweet. 3- Jim's Original, Polish Sausage, 4 - Harold's Chicken Shack #35 on Halsted, Wings w/ mild sauce, 5 - Lem's Bbq, rib tips, hot links, mild sauce. You can't try those 5 items at those 5 places and not understand what Chicago is all about and why it's known as one of the best food cities in America. It's not about the Michelin stars and the Alinea's. It's about the blue collar midwestern comfort foods that knock flavor out of the park.
Italian beef was created back in the great depression era because it was super cheap to make a shit load of it and to feed a shit load of people. The juice filled the bread up and filled up your stomach. Beef sliced paper thin so you can taste the juice and tastes better.
Vito and Nick's Art of Pizza Bonci Pat's Pizza Aurelios D'Augostinos Dough Bros top 3 are easily my favorites of each type and you gotta stop at Gene & Judes if you're out that far. If you wanna make up for it. Red Hot Ranch next to the Art of Pizza on Ashland is even better
5:01 fast forward to the present WSD threw a football ~65 yards or something before it bounced and then proceeded to throw 91mph fastball on the speedgun vs Carrabis. Chalk one up for the little guys
I used to think Dave had an East Coast bias, and rated NY/NJ Pizza much higher unjustly. I'm a lifelong Chicagoan, but I just recently went to NY, and the pizza is so much better there.
Dave was ready to shit on anything these two recommended. You can tell straight from the get go he had a bad attitude and wasn’t going to give anything a chance
Geo's is a good neighborhood place but definitely not good enough to drive 1 hour and a half. And you definitely have to eat it while is hot and not luke warm.
All the Italian beef is produced in the Chicago area used to haul meat there for year's the suburbs have the same meat .Wont tell my secret stops. Johnny's is good but there's better but loved Johnny's.
Eddie was defending that pizza like his family owns the place.
"If you take someone an hour and a half for a 7.1 you should be assassinated" LMfao best quote ever.

Devin McInroy I’m pretty sure your 100 percent right bro .
It might be weird to say but I think we have the Great Depression to thank for the existence of this delicious sandwich.

Growing up in Chicago I just thought the “square cut” was the only way pizza came. Lol
Ever seen a movie where they had pizza cut into triangle slices? Sheesh

You go to chicago for Italian beef and dont get giardiniera...go home

I get sliced Italian beef and giardiniera. so good
Where’s Frankie!!!!

1:53 “I thought we were leaving the whole state”lmao
It's called tavern style because they cut it in squares so people can share it at the bar while drinking. Where did they find these guys
* With a name like Geo’s which is an abbreviation for George, likely a Greek guy, so again you’re spot on. Great job.
New style of pizza: Depression Style. Feeds and causes it!!
You gotta go to vito and nicks
I grew up at Harlem and Diversey. Mad respect
not frankie, not a review
Jonah Hill had me crackin up defending his spots LMAO
30 seconds later...."you can cut it a million different ways and feed a million different people by the way" - Dave
This is gold Jerry, gold! 🤣🤣🤣👍🍺
Poor Eddie , he was excited to show him his spot and Dave’s a compete dck to him
They cut it this way to feed more people during the depression…Like an old polish joke. BTW, this place was established in 1972.
How do you know you’re from Chicago?
When you cut your frozen pizza in square slices(tavern cut). #SouthSide #Beverly
You missed it... You're "near" Elmwood Park - you go to Armand's. Come back.. my Treat!
He said it’s just a hotdog in New York it’s just a hotdog in Chicago everything is epic💯💯
El Pres is cranky because Frankie couldn't come. Pres, you gotta stop dragging big guy through the mud. The tension was THICK. YIKES

Might as well hit up Gene and Jude’s since you’re northwest
