What is a deep dish pizza? Well, it is also sometimes called a Chicago-style pizza, though it is only one of several different types of pizza that were developed in Chicago. Though it seems impossible to accurately determined who invented the deep dish and when, it appears that it may have been created in the city in 1943 at the Pizzeria Uno.
The obvious difference between the deep dish pizza and the more normal thin crust is, of course, the crust is very deep. This results in a pizza that more closely resembles a pie than it does a flatbread. Similarly, it is cooked in a steel pan more closely related to a cake or pie tin than it is to a pizza pan. The crust is pressed up to the side of the dish, which allows a thick layer of toppings to be added. With the pizza being deeper, it takes longer to cook than a regular one.
