April 5th is National Deep Dish Pizza Day

Chicago style pizza, also known as deep dish, is characterized as having a buttery crust with sides built up to as high as three inches tall. The crust acts as a bowl to help hold the ingredients. As it’s name suggests it was first developed in Chicago in 1943 by Pizzeria Uno’s founder Ike Sewell. Not only is a deep dish pizza different from a traditional pizza because of it’s crust but also because it is heavy on pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings. Deep dish pizza has become so popular throughout the years that many chains have developed their own recipe.
