About Chicago pizza

Chicago pizza, famously known as deep-dish pizza, is a hearty dish rooted in American-Italian cuisine and originating in Chicago during the 1940s. Unlike traditional pizzas, it features a thick, buttery crust that is baked in a high-sided pan. The pizza is layered with generous amounts of mozzarella cheese directly over the dough, followed by a choice of toppings, and finished with a chunky tomato sauce on top. Common toppings include meats like sausage or pepperoni, vegetables, and additional cheeses. While its rich flavors make it a favorite comfort food, Chicago pizza is calorie-dense and high in sodium and saturated fat due to the cheese, meats, and buttery crust. On the plus side, its toppings often include nutrient-rich vegetables like spinach or mushrooms, adding fiber and essential vitamins. Opting for lean proteins or veggie-focused versions can help make it a slightly healthier indulgence.
