Some jokes I saw on Reddit:

He is to be referred to as, "Da Pope."

"Ketchup to be banned in the Vatican."

"He's going to replace Communion Wine with Malört."

Deep dish pizza, I'm not so sure is going to find many fans in Rome.

Just put a cover on top of it and call it a calzone, I guess.

He's a South Sider (Dolton) and South Side Chicago pizza is cracker-thin.

Do people actually think deep dish is the only kind of pizza people eat in Chicago? I thought that was a meme.

Thin-crust (or "tavern style" as some call it) has been widespread across the city for quite awhile.

> As of 2013, according to Grubhub data and the company Chicago Pizza Tours, thin-crust outsells the more widely known deep-dish style among locals, with GrubHub stating that deep-dish comprises only 9% of its pizza deliveries.

I'm not saying we own thin-crust Chicago pizza, just that deep dish was not a thing on the south side when he lived there (it wasn't in the 80s and 90s when I grew up there either).

I ate Edwardo’s several times a month on the south side in the 80’s and 90’s, as did a sizable number of my friends. This is back before it became a chain (I guess technically the south side location was the second location, so it was already a chain) and they decided to take the best pizza on earth and make it mediocre-to-poor for a mass audience, which I guess happened in the early aughts?

So there is at least an existence proof for deep dish very much a thing for south side kids when he was in the vicinity.

He's apparently an Aurelio's guy (that's cracker-crust, for those not from the neighborhood).

Ha! Good to know. Friday is our pizza day, and we usually go with one local to us (Capri's), but on occasion do Aurelio's. I think today we'll have to do Aurelio's.
