National Deep Dish Pizza Day Today
th. Okay, pizza deserves two national days of recognition. Maybe even more than two days.
Oh, how to celebrate National Deep Dish Pizza. How else? I’m in. Let’s eat.
Deep Dish Pizza was invented in downtown Chicago in 1943 by Italian native Ike Sewell. He and his partner Ric Riccardo, (go ahead and google that name, Lucy) opened a pizzeria named Uno’s which is now a national chain with a location in Bangor. Downtown Chicago has numerous deep dish pizza restaurants. Unos, Duos, (get it), and many others. When I lived in downtown Chicago locals would avoid certain pizza places because they said “they were full of tourists”. Like it is a crime to eat in the same place as someone in for a visit from Michigan or Iowa.
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.
