Scalia began parsing the definition of "pizza" back in January when he dissed Chicago's deep-dished in an interview with CaliforniaLawyer.

"You know these deep-dish pizzas -- it's not pizza," he said in response to a question about New York City's thin-crusted deliciousness. "It's very good, but ... call it tomato pie or something. ... I'm a traditionalist, what can I tell you?"

So when the conservative jurist visited Chicago this week to give a speech at the IIT Chicago-Kent College of Law Judicial Takings Conference, he found himself reiterating his opinion to the assembled students:

"I do indeed like so-called ‘deep dish pizza.’ It’s very tasty,” Scalia declared. "But it should not be called ‘pizza.’ It should be called ‘a tomato pie.’ Real pizza is Neapolitan. [from Naples, Italy] It is thin. It is chewy and crispy, OK?”

Despite upholding his previous ruling, the Chicagoist continues to dissent. But as you ponder his ruling, remember: Scalia is 'right.'
