People Magazine's website ran a story that Obama had the owner of a St. Louis pizzeria flown in with dough and sauce to make pizzas for the First Family and staff.The pizzeria, Pi, specializes in "San Francisco style" pizza, according to the magazine. I'm at a loss for what SF style is exactly-- a gayer version of California Pizza Kitchen? [Ed. Note: actually it's deep-dish with a cornmeal crust]. At any rate, the menu on their website has both deep-dish and thin crust, and all the versions have names related to Chicago exurbs and neighborhoods, so all signs point to a Midwestern-roots-appropriate choice.
Hoping there'll be conservative backlash? You're welcome! Yes, it certainly isn't very "green" to have someone fly in from St. Louis just to make dinner. And of course, the owner of Pi was an Obama supporter (hence why Obama ate there while on the campaign trail in the first place). But seriously, this isn't exactly blasphemy, or a renunciation of his Chicago heritage and environmental policies. Security doesn't allow pizzas to be delivered, and it's not like DC has quality deep-dish anyway.
