A Good Day for Some Deep Dish
Need an excuse to go out to a new restaurant or to order in? Well, I got you covered. It s National Deep Dish Pizza Day!
Pizza is a superfood. Truly great in all forms. We re talking flatbreads, calzones, and of course, the layered deep-dishes.
The Chicago-style, deep-dish pizza is said to have been invented at Pizzeria Uno in 1943. The Chicago restaurant s owners, Ike Sewell and Ric Riccardo, are credited with the discovery. However, there is a bit of contention around the topic.
Adolpho Malnati Sr, a former employee at Pizzeria Uno, believes it was his idea that created the deep-dish pizza. After a bit of tension between the families, Malnati’s son Lou left Pizzeria Uno to start a different deep-dish pizza establishment in 1971.

Mayor Lori Lightfoot vowed today to hunt down and hold accountable adults responsible for “putting a gun into the hands” of a 13-year-old shot and killed by Chicago police last week.
In promising to hold adults accountable for the circumstances surrounding Adam Toledo’s death, Lightfoot went further than the Chicago Police Department has been willing to go.
CPD has said only that a gun was found near Toledo’s body. Neither police nor the Civilian Office of Police Accountability, which is investigating the shooting, has said Toledo was holding the gun or aiming it at police when he was chased, shot and killed.
