Deep thought on deep dish in KC

Devotees of deep dish pizza can be as thick as the pounds of cheese and sauce that fill the oversized crusts. They’ll speak lovingly of a pie they had a long time ago in another city. But when it comes to finding Chicago-style pizza in Kansas City, the purists will say that what you’re getting is not the real deal.

When it comes to deep dish here, the first place most purists think of is Rosati’s Pizza. If any pizza could settle the argument it might be the Rosati’s Monster (sausage, pepperoni, bacon, ground beef, mushrooms, onion, green pepper, tomatoes, green and black olives, with a hand-rolled crust). Whether you’re a devotee or not, you won’t really care about much else after one slice.
