Of course there is certainly bad Chicago pizza out there. Maybe more bad than good.

There's even more bad Chicago pizza in Chicago than there is good. There are really only a handful of places that make good deep-dish pizza, and almost all of them that aren't Pizzeria Uno were started by people who used to work at Pizzeria Uno.

But there are some foods that some locals will swear you can only get the good stuff where it's known. NY and Chicago pizza, Philly cheesesteak, maybe Buffalo wings.

With the exception of seafood or produce, it can't be true because people move around. It might be harder to find, but it can be found somewhere. Missouri frozen custard in Las Vegas (heck, almost anything in Las Vegas) for example.

I haven't checked, but I would guess that many of the bad Yelp reviews for Chicago pizza in other parts of the country - including Detroit, Toledo and Cleveland - are written by people from Chicago saying that it's not authentic or as good as home.

I was using those cities as examples because they're rust belt cities where the culture is similar to Chicago and there are probably a fair number ex-Chicagoans around. The only online reviews I read by Chicagoans were some other random non-Yelp sites, and they specifically cited things that were wrong with the food itself (fake cheese, still-frozen toppings) and not authenticity problems.
