Illinois: Chicago Deep-Dish Pizza
- Chicago's deep-dish pizza is an iconic culinary invention that emerged in the 1940s. The dish was pioneered by Pizzeria Uno, co-founded by Ike Sewell and Ric Riccardo.
- Unlike traditional thin-crust pizza, this pie is baked in a high-sided pan, with a thick, buttery crust forming the foundation for layers of cheese, chunky tomato sauce, and various toppings.
- Deep-dish pizza reflects Chicago's innovation and its embrace of hearty, satisfying meals that can stand up to the city's cold winters.
- It quickly became synonymous with the city's food culture and has since gained worldwide recognition.
