If there is one thing the people of Chicago loves more than their sports teams, it’s their Deep Dish Pizza.
The Windy City is known for it. It’s part of the culture and they are extremely proud of it.
Mitch Trubisky didn’t exactly make any friends with his take on it. During a recent appearance on The Dan Le Batard Show — the Bears QB had this to say:
“It can be overrated,” Trubisky said when talking about Chicago’s famed deep dish.
“That’s why thin crust is definitely OK. You can eat more pieces of thin crust.”
Host Dan Le Batard told Trubisky that his pizza opinion would make him less popular in Chicago than former Bears kicker Cody Parkey.
“That’s not true,” Trubisky responded.
Co-host Stugotz called him “Mitchell Hall-of-Fame-sky” for that answer

That will definitely upset a bunch of fans, but as long as he gets them to the playoffs every year and possibly win a Super Bowl, he can trash the pizza as much as he likes.
Here are some other takes he had on food, via Sports Gossip:
- Nacho cheese Doritos over cool ranch
- Pizza rolls over bagel bites
- Trubisky prefers his steaks medium: “You’re not allowed to put anything on a steak”
- Water is the best drink in the history of drinks
- It’s called “pop” not “soda”
- A hot dog is not a sandwich, it’s a hot dog
- The only thing he puts on his hot dogs is ketchup
