Throwback to November 14, 2013: To nobody's surprise, Jon Stewart went on a rant about Chicago deep dish pizza. The very next day, Marc Malnati fired back at the deep dish allegations... Take a look📹

But the best part came later. Jon invited Marc on the show to make deep dish and after one bite, even he admitted that Lou Malnati's was the real deal🍕
