deep-dish pizzas

Thick-crusted Italian rounds

Deep-dish pizzas are Chicago-style pizzas baked in deep round pans, producing a thick, tall crust with raised edges that contain generous layers of cheese, toppings, and chunky tomato sauce.

Unlike thin-crust pizzas, they're eaten with a fork: We split a deep-dish pizza at the airport before our flight.
