I live in Chicago and lots of non-deep dish pizza places are popping up all over. There is an all organic place, Crust, that is the only all organic pizza place in America ... although they call it flat bread, so does it really count as pizza? There are lots wood-fired Neapolitan-type pizza places and one coal-fired pizza place, aptly named Coalfire. These places have all the buzz right now and are where the locals tend to go for pizza. It's so much lighter and healthier. Plus many of these are smaller, "hipper" joints and many are BYOB (like many smaller restaurants in Chicago) which is appealing to the young, working professional crowd.
But no worries, the deep dish pizza joints will still have plenty of tourists to fill their restaurants like Giordano's, Pizzeria Uno and Duo, and Gino's East (this one is where you can get a sausage patty on your pie that is the same circumference as the pizza). I work across the street for a Giordano's and they aren't hurting for business.
