"If you want a good deep dish pizza you need to go to Chicago" is offensive to pizza chefs everywhere but Chicago.

Telling people that to get what they want they need to go where it is is offensive now. You don't like the dating culture where you live? Go somewhere else. The dating culture where you live is objectively abysmal? Go somewhere else. If you're a man in Alaska you're bound to get similar advice, and nobody will complain.

That analogy doesn't really fit. To make it fit the setup needs to be you are in a city with only a few restaurants that offer deep dish pizza, and are advising someone who wants to have deep dish pizza three meals a day every day but is having trouble with that because the price for deep dish pizza is high and the restaurants are often full.

Telling them they should go to Chicago [1] and that they will be shocked by the difference in price and ease of getting into deep dish pizza restaurants there is not going to be offensive to deep dish pizza chefs elsewhere.

[1] I've never been to Chicago. I'm just assuming that its reputation as the deep dish pizza capitol is at least partly due to having a lot of deep dish pizza places.

"good deep dish pizza" is offensive to pizza chefs everywhere

Everywhere but Chicago.
