Chicago pizzeria
Thick-crust pie place
A Chicago pizzeria is a restaurant serving Chicago-style pizza, typically deep-dish—a thick-crusted pie baked in a pan with cheese beneath the tomato sauce.
The term evokes a specific regional tradition: We found an authentic Chicago pizzeria in the suburbs.
Some establishments also serve the lesser-known Chicago thin crust, cut into squares rather than wedges.
