to the pierThe Deep Dish Pizza
it is a food icon of Chicago hence it is the quintissential Chicago food things to do with a lot of big pizza restaurants (like lou malnati's, giordano's gino's east and pizzeria uno) and smaller joints and hall in the wall offering it and you must not leave chicago without tasting this wonderful and savory plus filling pizza. This pizza is unique because it is far from the roots of an original Italian pizza. It does not include thin crusts or delicate toppings, but rather it is made with a heavy, thick crust and large amounts of cheese, sauce and ingredients. Chicago-style pizza has a buttery crust up to three inches tall at the edge, slightly higher than the large amounts of cheese and chunky tomato sauce, acting as a large bowl. The term also refers to "stuffed" pizza, another Chicago style. While in Chicago most pizzerias serve thin-crust pizza, generally in a style characteristic to the city, the term Chicago-style pizza is used to describe this deep-dish style of pizza.
This World famous Style of Pizza (sorry new yorkers, it is better than yours hehehe) begins with a thick layer of dough made with olive oil and cornmeal laid into a deep round pan and pulled up by the sides, then parbaked before the toppings are added to give it greater spring; the pan is oiled heavily in order to create a fried effect on the outside of the crust. The crust is covered with cheese (generally sliced mozzarella) and meats, usually in a solid layer or patty, just above the crust. Italian sausage (a Chicago staple), as well as vegetables such as onions, mushrooms and bell peppers are also used. A sauce, usually uncooked, made from shredded or puréed tomatoes is added. eating the world famous chicago deep dish pizza in at least three locations, Lou Malnati's, Gino's East and Pizzeria Uno!
it is availabe everywhere and a slice cost $ 3.50 a slice and $ 24 for 1 whole (usually 8 big slices).
