"Whichever side of the Chicago deep-dish pizza debate you fall on (and there is a correct one), we can at least all agree on something - no corkage fees on wine are great. Plus the pies here take a while, and there’s no better way to pass the time than with a bottle from home. That’s science. Corkage Fee: First bottle free, $15 thereafter" - kat hong
"Movie Pairing:Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (Netflix) “As a Chicagoland native, I know that few movies are dearer to the people of The Windy City than Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. So lean into that fact and order delivery from Masa while you watch. The family-owned restaurant in Echo Park is run by Illinois natives and their buttery, perfectly constructed deep-dish pizza is proof. I tend to go for The Traditional (sweet sausage and mushroom), because that’s what I grew up eating, but you can’t really go wrong with any of the pies. Just be sure to throw in a manchego salad and bread pudding as well. Then sit back, embrace your food coma, and gaze in stunned amazement at how well this film holds up.” - BC" - brant cox, kat hong, brett keating, james montgomery
"Our favorite deep dish spot in LA, Echo Park’s palace of massive pies is ideal when you feel like splitting a pizza. The pies are filling - two slices is easily enough - so you’ll be able to have your fill and still bring home leftovers. The pizzas take some time to cook, so call ahead and they’ll start making yours before you arrive." - brant cox, brett keating
"Another day, another chance to argue the Chicago-style vs. NY-style pizza debate. We’re not here to cause a turf war, but if you’re pro-Chicago (or simply over having your pizza be a sad, unfulfilling flatbread), take your big group dinner to Masa. This is hands down the most authentic deep-dish in the city, with a fantastic family-run vibe inside. You’re also well-positioned for all things Eastside nightlife afterwards." - jess basser sanders, brant cox, brett keating
