deep-dish pizza
Thick crust casserole
Deep-dish pizza is a style of pizza baked in a deep round pan, producing thick, high walls of crust that contain substantial layers of cheese, toppings, and chunky tomato sauce.
The style originated in Chicago and remains associated with the city: We grabbed deep-dish pizza after the Cubs game.
Unlike thin-crust pizza, it's eaten with a knife and fork.
