So now Jews are fighting about pizza. Because we really needed one more thing about which to get Uncle Morty upset this Thanksgivukkah.

The Jews in question here are two of the most well-known in the nation: Jon Stewart and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel.

And the pizza in question is Chicago Deep Dish, specifically the anchovy-topped deep dish pizzas Emanuel sent Stewart and his staff, following Stewart’s rant on Tuesday’s The Daily Show about how disgusting he finds Chicago-style pizza.

We also sent @TheDailyShow some real pizza for lunch today. No hard feelings? pic.twitter.com/sdnZ61EyTu

The Stewart faction’s was absolutely not going to take that lying down. Here’s their reaction:

The fact that the segment was actually about the small tiff Chicago having over the Willis Tower losing out on the “tallest tower” award to New York’s Freedom Tower is pretty much a moot point now.

Watch Stewart’s amazing if totally incorrect rant again, just because you should.

Are you one of our 2%?

Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.

But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses  —  take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.

Don’t just read the Forward — invest in it. Support our work today!
