Obama's 'Pizza Policy Is Going To Have To Change': Lou Malnati's Owner

CHICAGO — The news is hitting Chicago deep dish pizza makers' eye like a big pizza pie.

President Barack Obama is having 140 people over to the White House Friday night for a some deep-dish pizza _ St. Louis deep dish pizza.

It seems during his campaign he had pizza from a restaurant called Pi in St. Louis. That's the story Pi assistant manager Lindsey Tornetto tells.

Whatever happened, the restaurant says the owner and his partner packed dough, cheese and pizza pans in their suitcases and flew to Washington.

It all has Marc Malnati _ owner of 30 Lou Malnati's Pizzarias in the Chicago area _ shaking his head. He says he likes Obama's economic policy, but thinks the president's pizza policy should change.

Chicago deep dish is the most over rated part of Chicago.

I agree. I'm Italian, lived all but the last two of my years in Chicago. Malnati's pizza is vile. The crust has an awful greasy taste, a gummy texture, and the "sauce" is disgusting. Even worse, the sausage is nothing like the best stuff you get on Chicago's west side Italian neighborhoods and I think they must steam it or something,. It always reminded me of rancid hamburger.

So we move to Kansas, and we have an Uno's here. Okay, that's fine, but I'll usually just make it from scratch at home.

We live in KS now. I miss good pizza.
