deep dish
Windy City pie
Deep dish describes a style of pizza baked in a high-sided pan, producing a thick crust with raised edges that hold substantial layers of cheese, toppings, and sauce.
Chicago is famous for it: We grabbed deep dish at Lou Malnati's.
The term extends to any pie or casserole made in a deep pan rather than a shallow one.
