Unique Features of Chicago Style Pizza
One of the most popular types of pizza in
the United States and Canada as well as in other parts of the world is Chicago
style pizza. Through the years more and more people have taken to ordering and enjoying
Chicago style pizza.
Chicago styles pizza is distinguished by a
number of different factors. For example, Chicago style pizza is a particularly
deep dish style of pie. In this regard, Chicago style pizza contains a base or
a crust that is formed up the sides of a deep dish pan. (It is cooked in a pan
and not directly on the bricks or other baking surface.)
Another of the unique features of Chicago
style pizza rests in the fact that this type of pizza actually reverses the
order of the ingredients. When it comes to the more common combination and
ordering of toppings on Chicago style pizza, the base or crust (obviously)
remains on the bottom. However, from there the cheese is placed on the base or
crust. This is followed by "filling" or toppings. (There can be a
variety of other toppings used on a Chicago style pizza to taste.)
The sauce (which normally is spread
directly on the base or crust) ends up being placed on top of everything else
that is placed the Chicago style pizza.
There is another version of the Chicago
style pizza this sometimes is referred to as a stuffed pizza. This variation of
the Chicago style pizza utilizes two layers of crust, with sauce and toppings
or filling on both. Chicago style

There are a variety of variations on the
deep dish pizza theme in this day and age. Generally, it is agreed that the
invention of the deep dish pizza occurred in the United States. With that said,
the deep dish pizzas that are seen in different locations today actually
transcend a single ethnic group.
Most pizza historians attribute the actual
invention of the first deep dish pizza to Ike Sewell and Ric Riccardo. It is
believed that the first deep dish pizza was served at the Pizzeria Uno bistro
in 1943. This iconic pizzaria is still in operation today.
When all is said and done, there are many
different types of pizzas available today. Moreover, people who consider
themselves connoisseurs of pizza believe that the development of new versions
of the pizza pie hardly is at an end. Indeed, with each passing year, there
seems to be new, tasty additions to the more universal family of pizzas. In the
end, it seems that the types of pizzas that will be seen in the future is only
confined by the imagination of people the world over.
