deep dish pizza
Thick crust casserole
Deep dish pizza is a style of pizza baked in a round pan with high sides, creating a thick crust that holds substantial layers of cheese, toppings, and chunky tomato sauce—typically with the sauce on top rather than beneath the cheese.
The style originated in Chicago and remains associated with that city: We grabbed deep dish pizza after the Cubs game.
Also called deep-dish pizza or Chicago-style pizza.
