Obama orders pizza from St. Louis, Chicago miffed
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO - The news is hitting Chicago deep dish pizza makers' eye like a big pizza pie.
U.S. President Barack Obama is having 140 people over to the White House tonight for a some deep-dish pizza - St. Louis deep dish pizza.
It seems during his campaign he had pizza from a restaurant called Pi in St. Louis. That's the story Pi assistant manager Lindsey Tornetto tells.
Whatever happened, the restaurant says the owner and his partner packed dough, cheese and pizza pans in their suitcases and flew to Washington.
It all has Marc Malnati - owner of 30 Lou Malnati's Pizzarias in the Chicago area - shaking his head.
He says he likes Obama's economic policy, but thinks the president's pizza policy should change.
Look, you can't show favortism to a certain person or place based on hometown. I admire the President for admitting he found a better pizza pie. When the BYB finally gets too big for the O Town I'm going to make my catering decisions based on quality. So La Margarita, consider yourself on notice - perform or you may fall out of the BYB's good graces.
