Define Deep Dish<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Think of a traditional pizza, but thicker. Its base is closer to a pie crust, and sturdy enough to hold up a mountain of toppings. The dough is often fortified with olive oil or butter, covered with tons of mozzarella, toppings, and a thick layer of tomato sauce and finally cooked in a cast iron pan<\/p>\n

Roots in the Windy City<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Deep dish pizza has its origins deeply rooted in the vibrant city of Chicago. Legend has it that the first deep dish pizza was created back in 1943 at Pizzeria Uno by Ike Sewell, although some argue that it was truly invented by the pizzeria\u2019s subsequent owner, Ric Riccardo. The creation was completely unique, a departure from the traditional thin-crust pizza. It stood at about an inch tall \u2014 half the height of a deep dish pizza today. This new invention proved to be the perfect option for pizza lovers who wanted a heartier, more satisfying slice.<\/p>\n
