I always wanted to try this, but it looks super greasy and heavy. Can most people eat a few slices, like 2 or 3, or it's more like a cheesecake that you eat 1 slice and you're full?

I can have max like 2 slices and I'm full. Think of it more like a casserole or lasagna than a pizza, you can eat similar quantities. If you ever get the chance, try it at Pequod's in Chicago....

You just can't beat that caramelized crust. My go-to order there is a sausage pizza with light anchovy — every few bites is you hit an anchovy and its just this wonderful salty umami bomb.

If you get the chance, I'd also recommend trying the related stuffed pizza. I personally prefer it to deep dish - there's an extra layer dough separating the cheese from the sauce, so it's less swimming pool of ingredients and more "really big buttery calzone thing with some sauce on top". More cheese, filling, a bit less sauce than normal deep dish. This is my favorite stuffed pizza place.

I'd definitely suggest trying it out if you're somewhere that offers it. It's an experience unlike any other. With regards to your question, it depends on the restaurant, but each slice is going to be significantly thicker than a thin crust pizza. Maybe a single piece wouldn't do it, but eating half a pizza is much more of a project when it's a deep dish pizza.
This particular recipe isn't particularly greasy, though as Max mentions, modern crusts are going to be much more buttery/flaky than the bread crust shown here. It'll really depend on the restaurant.

Had Pequods a few times. Love it!
I'm still a sucker for Giordano's and the original Uno's. I suppose this makes me some sort of deep dish philistine.

It's essentially pizza casserole in an amazing heavy buttery crust. It's heavenly!
It's also a gut bomb; it's extremely filling!
...with a proper deep dish pizza, one or two slices is a meal...
Less like a cheesecake and more like an above ground marinara swimming pool for rats.
